Get ready to go not just behind, but IN the scenes to some of Disney’s best stories to meet characters!


Disney has announced a whole new area coming to “The Magic of Disney Animation” located in Hollywood Studios, opening later summer 2026. This new area designated for character meet and greets will be called, “Off the Page!”.


Artist concept rendering of a character meet-and-greet space themed like an animation layout room. A small child excitedly runs toward Rapunzel, who stands smiling in her purple dress amid stylized tree set pieces. An adult behind the child encourages him forward. The room features forest imagery, studio lights, and framed black-and-white photos of animators on the wall.

This area is a collaboration between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering to bring guests into different types of departments from the animation studio. These departments include: 

  • Story 

  • Layout 

  • Hand-Drawn Animation 

  • Computer Animation 

  • Lighting  

  • Effects


These spaces are specifically designed as photo areas for guests to feel like they are a part of the animation magic that brings our favorite stories to life. Disney has announced that guests will be able to meet characters here including Rapunzel in the Layout department and Mulan in the Story department.


Disney has not announced any additional characters at this time, but be on the lookout for an update when they do make that announcement!


Which character do you hope you will meet and greet at the other departments in Hollywood Studios "Off the Page!"?
