1st time at disney art of animation

[beebumble]

All 3 of us had a blast!!! We truly enjoyed being in Mickey's art studio. Those desks are so neat! It is so cool to see how all 3 of our Mickeys are different from each other. The artist was so good. I wanted to go back and do another character! I brought all of our drawings home and cant wait to scrapbook a layout using them!!
If you havent tried this JUST DO IT !!!!

MGM STUDIOS

Well... that makes sense... DUH!!! In my defense, I thought it was part of the Disney Institute or something (do they still have that?).

Nope. It closed back in 2001. 95% of the DI was demolished and the new Saratoga Springs resort constructed on the same property.

Magic of Disney Animation can be lots of fun and it recently was updated to include Incredibles meet-n-greet and some other neat features

I'm so excited to go! The last two times I went I missed it (against my will). I did go to the one in DCA when mom and I went to DL last Feb., but I think the MGM one is better!

I'm glad you had a blast!

The MGM version has been refurbed and is now a near replica of the animation attraction in Anaheim. All of the animators hosted at WDW were fired back in the spring, so they couldn't exactly maintain the old format.

I was there last week and loved it! I did a pretty impressive sketch of Donald Duck and brought it home with me.
I'm a pretty decent sketch artist for cartoon characters but this inspired to buy their sketch books. I got the Princesses and Mickey & Friends.
