I don’t think I’ve EVER been this excited for this update in Hollywood Studios. We’ve been keeping track of all the updates coming to Walt Disney Studios, and this might be the ultimate update of all time.
Mickey’s Sorcerer Hat is back!
The area is set to open on May 26th, but they just shared a sneak peek that has us wishing it opened tomorrow. If you’re a fan of classic Hollywood Studios (or uh, Disney–MGM Studios), you’re just going to love this
The sorcerer hat is back in Hollywood Studios!
There she is!
Welcome home, sorcerer hat!
It looks great!
We knew the hat was coming since the concept art was released, but it doesn’t mean seeing that picture wasn’t a childhood dream come true. For those of you too young to remember, there used to be a massive sorcerer hat in Hollywood Studios, but it was removed in 2015.

It’s returning to the land since it’s themed to the Animation Studios in Burbank, California — home to the iconic sorcerer hat.

Also coming to the land will be drawing classes hosted by none other than Olaf. He’ll have help from real Disney animators, and you’ll get step-by-step instructions on how to draw your favorite Disney characters.

There will also be plenty of character meet and greets, including some in different areas of the animation studio.

Personally, I’m excited for the indoor playground, which is themed to May Blair’s original concept art for Alice in Wonderland. You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, and we’re going to learn lots about animation and playing in this area!
