One of my family's favorite activities, especially if we need a break from the heat or we need an excuse to sit and rest our feet, is to visit the Animation Academy. At the Animation Academy, guests are taught to sketch a favorite character via step-by-step instruction from a Disney animator. Upon entering the Animation Academy, guests are given paper, pencil and a clipboard to use to create their masterpiece. While the pace is fairly quick, the step-by-step details make this a fun activity for families. Even for a non-artist like myself, I am able to follow along with ease. Animation classes last about 20 minutes and once you are done, you can take your illustration home with you as a free souvenir.


You can learn to draw your favorite characters at the following locations:


Animation Academy - located inside The Disney Animation Building in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure.

Animation Experience at Conservation Station - located in Rafiki's Planet Watch at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park


** If sailing on a Disney Cruise Line ship, check the navigator app for opportunities to learn to draw a Disney character while cruising.
