NEWS: One Hollywood Studios Attraction Is CLOSING for a Month

One of the newest theater attractions at Hollywood Studios is closing for refurbishment.

Mickey Shorts Theatre

The Mickey Shorts Theatre opened up at Hollywood Studios back in the spring of 2020, just prior to the onset of the pandemic. Opened in conjunction with Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, the theater was inspired by the same modern shorts as that attraction. Inside guests sit in Mickey-themed chairs to watch a “new” short, Vacation Fun that “celebrates Mickey and Minnie’s favorite vacation memories, with never-before-seen animation mixed with clips from favorites like “Panda-monium”, “Couples Sweaters”, “Potatoland”, “Croissant de Triomphe”, “Entombed”, “Dumb Luck”, “Al Rojo Vivo”, “Yodelburg” and “Outback at Ya!.” Following the short, there are a series of themed photo opportunities. The under-the-radar attraction has become a favorite for those looking for a place to escape the Florida heat. However, they’ll need to look somewhere else for most of the next month.

As shown on the Disney refurbishment calendar, the Mickey Shorts Theatre will be closing for refurbishment on April 29th, and not reopening until May 25th.

While Disney hasn’t announced any specifics about the refurbishment, we’d guess that given the relative newness of the attraction and the relatively short of its closure, it’s nothing too drastic.

Likely, it’s a similar clean-up and renovation — likely involving a reupholstering of the venue’s seats — to those that have been done at other Hollywood Studios locations including MuppetVision 3D, the Frozen Sing-Along, the Walt Disney Theater.

Mickey Shorts Theatre is a fun, out-of-the-way place for guests at Hollywood Studios to escape the Florida heat and enjoy an entertaining Mickey short. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Disney refurbishment updates.
