Hollywood Studios Animation Character Hours Reportedly Posted

Published September 14, 2026

Disney’s Hollywood Studios reportedly listed meet-and-greet times on Monday, September 14, 2026, for characters inside Magic of Disney Animation. According to reports, the initial My Disney Experience schedule began at 9:00 AM on September 14, with several characters listed through 6:30 PM.

As of Monday, September 14, Magic of Disney Animation is expected to have shifting operating hours in the coming weeks, so these character times should be treated as current reported scheduling rather than a fixed fall schedule.

The reported lineup is inside the Off the Page! character area at Magic of Disney Animation. Characters listed there include Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Stitch, Mulan, and Rapunzel.

That gives Hollywood Studios a denser character stop than a one-off hallway greeting. The practical difference is that you may be able to cover multiple meet-and-greets in one area instead of bouncing around the park for separate character locations.

The reported schedule gives families an early option at 9:00 AM, which matters at Hollywood Studios because morning plans usually get swallowed by headliners. If your group cares more about characters than racing to a major ride, Magic of Disney Animation can become a legitimate first stop.

What we know

• Magic of Disney Animation (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) — reportedly has character meet-and-greets listed in My Disney Experience beginning at 9:00 AM on September 14.
• Off the Page! character area — reportedly hosts Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Stitch, Mulan, and Rapunzel.
• Chip ‘n’ Dale, Goofy, Mulan, and Rapunzel — reportedly scheduled to meet guests until 6:30 PM.
• My Disney Experience — reportedly lists character information by individual character and on the map.
• Magic of Disney Animation — expected to have fluctuating opening times in the coming weeks, which could affect character hours.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not confirmed that the 9:00 AM start time will remain in place beyond the current reported schedule. Disney also has not confirmed that character hours will stay the same as Magic of Disney Animation’s operating hours fluctuate in the coming weeks.

The available report does not include every individual cutoff time for every listed character, so do not assume Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, or Stitch follow the same end time unless My Disney Experience shows that for your park day.

What it means for your trip

If characters are a priority, check Magic of Disney Animation before you commit your morning to rides. A 9:00 AM start gives you a chance to knock out several greetings early, especially if your kids care more about Stitch, Mulan, Rapunzel, or Donald than another attraction queue.

The catch is schedule volatility. Check My Disney Experience before leaving your hotel, then check again after you enter Hollywood Studios, because a character plan built around today’s hours may not hold later in September.

If you are trying to balance rides and characters, use the long reported window strategically: ride early while wait times are still building, then slide into Magic of Disney Animation before the late-afternoon cutoff for the characters you care about most.
