Walt Disney World has shared a sneak peek first look at the installation of the Sorcerer Mickey hat within the new Walt Disney Studios Lot area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The hat was installed overnight as part of the ongoing work to transform the former Animation Courtyard. Here’s a closer look!
Sorcerer Mickey Hat Installed at Hollywood Studios
It’s déjà vu all over again, with a Sorcerer Mickey hat returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Walt Disney World has shared a sneak peek at the new Sorcerer Mickey hat, installed overnight within the former Animation Courtyard area of Hollywood Studios.
The new hat sits atop the entrance to the yet-to-open Magic of Disney Animation offering. The Magic of Disney Animation is set to open sometime later this Summer, and the installation of the hat marks a significant milestone for the project.
The hat and facade are meant to resemble the actual Disney Animation headquarters in California. The pixie dusting from the Sorcerer’s Hat will extend far beyond the walls of “The Magic of Disney Animation” as the entire courtyard is reimagined into “The Walt Disney Studios,” taking inspiration from several buildings found in Burbank. This special nod to the legendary Walt Disney Studios Lot includes a version of the Studio Theater, which will continue to house “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure,” and over at the soundstage, you’ll find a fresh Disney Jr. show.
