You can meet two of the most sought after royal sisters inside the Disney Animation Building. You’ll meet both Anna and Elsa in an intimate environment.

The Animation Courtyard shows clips of favorite songs and the animation behind Disney classics on giant screens that surround the entire room. It’s so much fun that you’ll enjoy your time in line. It’s also a great place to cool off on hot days, warm up on rainy days, or just relax while your kids explore.
