"The Magic of Disney Animation" in Hollywood Studios looks amazing. I'm so glad they brought back the theme of a working animation studio, but with an all-new look. Disney has released two walk through videos of this reimagined space. The first shows every room that makes up the building.
The second features Imagineers pointing out Easter Eggs and talking about the inspiration for each space.
"The Magic of Disney Animation" opens on September 14th.
The latest episode of We Call It Imagineeringfocuses on how Imagineers create the architecture of the Disney Parks. From 3-D models to giant balloons to virtual reality, Imagineers use many different methods to create immersive spaces. This episode also gives us a sneak peek behind the scenes of three new lands coming to Disney World: Tropical Americas in Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, and Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios.
On the Echo Lake side of Keystone Clothiers, a clothing shop on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood Studios, is what looks like a Mayan temple. Its windows are filled with nods to old movies and this sign above them looks straight out of old Hollywood. In Disney World, you never know what you'll see if you would only look up.
Andy's toys can be found throughout Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios. From Jessie and Rex on Slinky Dog Dash to this Buzz Lightyear near the Alien Swirling Saucers, there are familiar faces everywhere you look.
Rizzo the Rat is back to give us his own version of a tour of the newly reimagined Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets (with a little help from Robin and Yolanda.) As you'd expect from Rizzo, there's something a little bit off about his "Totally Authorized Tour", but it's still quite fun.
The newly reimagined Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is ready to rock. The queue, and ride, are filled with Easter Eggs from past Muppet movies, TV shows, and of course, Muppet Vision 3D. Join the Imagineers for a sneak peek of these Muppety touches while we wait for the ride to open next week.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets blasts off on May 26th.

Din Djarin and Grogu join Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run for an exciting new adventure. Here's the official description from Disney:
In this new storyline, Hondo Ohnaka has caught wind of a high-stakes deal unfolding on the sands of Tatooine, where ex-Imperial officers have crossed paths with a ruthless band of pirates. With a hefty bounty on the line, you’ll take possession of the Millennium Falcon, join forces with Mando and Grogu, and launch into a daring pursuit across the stars.
Adding to the fun, each role introduces fresh gameplay moments, new interactions, and unexpected surprises along the way. A new interactive feature allows the engineer position to check in on Grogu throughout the mission, and make the pivotal planet choice that charts the course.
New collectibles such as toys, puzzles, water bottles and clothing will be available at multiple locations in the Parks and at Disney Springs: Tatooine Traders, Mission: SPACE Cargo Bay, Star Wars Galactic Outpost, or World of Disney.

There is so much to see in Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios. As it is supposed to look like you've become a toy in Andy's backyard, there are giant blocks and toy soldiers, tinker toys and belt buckles, strings of monkeys escaping their barrel and cardboard punch outs, and, of course, toys like Rex, Hamm, Jessie and Buzz. There are also a few fun boxes Andy saved, like this Lass-O's cereal featuring Jessie and the prizes from Toy Story Mania.
The Muppets are taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios. And with that, we get a whole new look and story. In the Courtyard, the guitar is getting a psychedelic new paint job and the piano at the base will feature a gold key in honor of Dr. Teeth.
Throughout the queue in G-Force Records, you'll discover awesome posters featuring the members of that famous Muppet Band: The Electric Mayhem.
And you never know what celebrity cameo you may find hidden anywhere from the queue to the merch shop. Celebrities include:
Awkwafina
Danny Trejo
Darren Criss
John Stamos
Neil Patrick Harris
Travis Barker
Yvette Nicole Brown
Wayne Brady
“Weird Al” Yankovic
Once you reach the recording studio, you'll see the Electric Mayhem jamming out the familiar sounds of Can You Picture That?
Scooter, with the help of a host of penguin audio engineers, is trying to get the band to stop rehearsing and head to their concert across town.
And Muppet Labs has developed a new super-powered vehicle to get you there: a Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.).
The Electric Mayhem teamed up with a few famous names for the set list. And, of course, they've been working on a few bonus tracks, too.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets blasts off from zero to sixty on May 26th.
