One of the highlights of the Festival of the Arts is the Animation Academy. This class closely resembles the one that existed at Hollywood Studios for years. During the class the Imagineer will instruct you on the technique to drawing a specific Disney character. Characters vary and you can always make a request if you have drawn characters in the class before.
The Animation Academy is located inside Innoventions West across from Colortopia. Classes take place hourly Friday – Monday from 9:15 AM to 6:15 PM. Show up about 15-20 minutes beforehand to guarantee yourself a seat. There are only about 40 or so seats available.
The drawing you create is yours to keep after the class. A Cast Member will be on hand to distribute bags for you to tote your drawing in.
