Is this still available -- the animation drawing classes held in the bulding where Sorcerer Mickey meets?

Does it have a schedule? How long do the "classes" last?

Thanks!
 
My last class was 25 minutes long - I think they are normally about 20 minutes long. I did have to wait for 2 other classes to finish because it was packed. I was surprised - I guess the secret is out about this.

They run all day long one after the other. I don't remember what time they stop in the evening. Maybe an hour before park close? Hopefully someone else with that info will come along.
 
Even though the class itself is only 30 minutes, you should arrive when the class prior is just starting. As mentioned, this tends to be pretty busy now and we JUST made it into a class after arriving 15 minutes prior. You'd want to be there about 30 minutes prior to the start of the next class, at least. It's a time commitment, but still fun.
 

The first class or two in the morning doesn't seem too bad. I think it starts at about park opening; I can't find it exactly. I would get there before the meet and greet crowds. The meet and greets in there start at 10am, so before 9:30am.
 
When we did it in 2012 we got in line and didn't make it into the the next class that started, but got into the one after that. So there was a bit of a wait but we didn't really mind sitting down in the air conditioning for a little while :)
 
This is one of my favorites at HS. I love to draw and the cases of artwork in that building, but it was awesome seeing how excited everyone got with their work!
 
We did this last week...my Donald Duck is awesome and i can't draw a straight line! Classes were every 30 minutes, top and bottom of hour, and ours lasted 25 minutes. Even the instructor commented on how his classes are always full. We got there around 1:15 and were the last to get in for the 1:30 class. Secret is definitely out!
