Walt Disney World confirmed that roaming character encounters will continue in Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios following the opening of The Magic of Disney Animation attraction. The Disney Parks team clarified that the new experience will not displace the existing character "free play" interactions that guests currently enjoy in the courtyard area. This announcement came as Disney prepares to debut the attraction, ensuring that both the new immersive experience and traditional character meet-and-greets will operate simultaneously in the space.
