It is expected that the transformation will include sandy-coloured paving throughout the area, the repainting (to blue/purple) of several buildings, new gardens and trees and, of course, the long-rumoured addition of Wendy, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell circling the Sorcerer’s Hat. The date for the changeover of names from Animation Courtyard to Toon Studio is not yet known, however current schedules suggest the work will be complete by the time the busy Christmas Season kicks in in late December this year.

This is the date currently set for the start of full-on work to transform the existing Animation Courtyard area into the lavish entrance area of the new Toon Studio. Work is expected to begin with a slew of construction fences throughout the land, most noticably around Art of Disney Animation."/>
