Disney to shut ‘Magic of Disney Animation’ in July

Another attraction is being shut down at Disney’s Hollywood studio, as 12 July has been announced as the last day for the Magic of Disney Animation in Florida.

According to Disney officials, the adjacent Animation Gallery will remain open through late August but the park has shut the Studios Backlot Tour and the American Idol Experience.

Previously, the company’s CEO Bob Iger had announced that the park, which was named Hollywood Studios in 2008, will be re-named but it has not been disclosed yet. The animation attraction that allows visitors to watch actual animators at work was among the original features when the park opened in 1989 as Disney-MGM Studios.
