During the Epcot International Festival of the Arts 2024, one of the most interactive and artistic events is back—Animation Academy Epcot 2024. Held twice daily at the American Gardens Theater, this hands-on experience lets guests draw alongside a real Disney animator as part of this year’s Epcot Festival drawing class lineup.
Learn from a Disney Animator at Animation Academy
Whether you’re an aspiring artist or simply looking for a fun creative outlet, Animation Academy is the perfect opportunity to try something new. Each session features step-by-step guidance from a Disney animator. The surprise character changes daily, ensuring a fresh experience every time.
A Figment Drawing Session to Remember
In our latest visit to Animation Academy, the featured character was none other than Figment! As part of this magical Disney animator sketch session, we watched Figment come to life on the page. The crowd joined in, pencils in hand, for a uniquely memorable moment.
Festival Tips for Attending the Epcot Drawing Class
To make the most of your visit to Animation Academy, check the official My Disney Experience app for showtimes. Sessions usually take place in the afternoon and early evening. Seating is open-air and first come, first served, so we suggest arriving early. All drawing materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own sketchbook to capture the experience.
