Vacation Fun Returns at Hollywood Studios After Summer Closure

Published September 27, 2026

Vacation Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios reportedly reopened on Sunday, September 27, 2026, after a summer closure at Walt Disney World. As of Sunday, September 27, the Mickey Shorts Theater experience is reported to be back in operation after closing August 9.

According to reports, Vacation Fun had been closed while the location was used as the distribution point for Kermit the Frog Annual Passholder magnets. Disney has not been cited as issuing a separate official reopening announcement in the supplied report.

Vacation Fun is an original animated short featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, shown inside Mickey Shorts Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It is not a headliner, but it matters more on hot or crowded park days than its low profile suggests: it is an indoor, seated, air-conditioned break that works well for families with younger kids or guests who need downtime between bigger attractions.

The reopening gives Hollywood Studios one more easy indoor option again, especially useful when your group is between Lightning Lane return windows, waiting out heat, or trying to reset after a high-stimulation stretch in Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, or Sunset Boulevard.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not confirmed in the supplied report whether Vacation Fun has any modified hours, updated show schedule, or other operational changes tied to the reopening.

The report also does not include whether the Kermit the Frog Annual Passholder magnet distribution has moved elsewhere, ended, or changed procedures.

What it means for your trip

Do not build your Hollywood Studios day around Vacation Fun, but absolutely keep it in your back pocket. The smart use is as a low-effort reset: duck in when the heat is getting ugly, your group needs seats, or younger kids are not up for another thrill ride.

This is especially helpful at Hollywood Studios because the park can feel top-heavy with intense attractions. If your group has little kids, non-riders, or anyone who needs a quieter break, Vacation Fun being available again gives you one more option that does not require a dining reservation or a long standby commitment.

If you are choosing between this and a major ride, ride first. If you are choosing between wandering in the sun and sitting in air conditioning with Mickey and Minnie on screen, this is the better move.
