The Magic of Disney Animation Opens September 14 at Hollywood Studios

The attraction also marks the return of a familiar name to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The original Magic of Disney Animation welcomed guests for more than 25 years before closing in 2015, and while this new version is a completely different experience, it continues the tradition of celebrating the creativity behind Disney Animation.

The new attraction joins the recently opened Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! as part of the reimagined Animation Courtyard, giving families even more to explore in this refreshed area of the park.

September will be an exciting time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, especially for Disney Animation fans. Guests can look forward to learning how to draw with Olaf, seeing favorite characters throughout the park, or revisiting a special area that has a rich history here. Starting September 14, everyone can enjoy Disney’s new celebration of animation magic.

Come stay with us at the Galleria Palms Hotel, enjoy our beautiful, year around heated pool. Best Value in all of the area.

Here is a great tip from Travel and Leisure Magazine

When it comes to hotels, if a deal seems too good to be true, it might just be a scam.

“One big thing that we're seeing in our industry is scams,” Paige, a front desk supervisor with a decade of experience, said in the latest episode of Travel + Leisure's YouTube series, "Travel, Unfiltered."

It goes a little something like this: a customer finds an unusually low rate online, books it, and arrives at the hotel only to learn they don’t really have a reservation. “I had a poor customer who I just told, ‘Hey, call your bank because this [reservation] doesn’t exist,” Paige told T+L.

One way to avoid this is always booking directly with a property, another hotel staffer suggested, even if it requires calling to request they match a price you’ve found online. Many hotels already promise customers the best available rates when booking directly, with some even offering discounts or perks like free breakfast.

“If you're really looking for a deal, we can try to see what can best fit your needs,” the hotel staffer said.
