Overview
- On a recent morning visit the Olaf Draws class at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was closed with a digital sign reading “No classes at this time” and the queue chained off, according to on-site reporting.
- The new drawing class has shown intermittent availability since opening in September, including periods run in a fallback “B-mode” where the Olaf animatronic is covered and a prerecorded video leads the lesson.
- My Disney Experience currently does not display live operational status or wait times for Olaf Draws, so guests cannot tell from the app whether the class is running or reduced to B-mode.
- Cast Members at the attraction have been telling visitors to return later when classes are closed, which forces families to spend time walking across the park on an uncertain gamble.
- When the class runs with the animatronic, guests report strong positive reactions, but continued reliability problems and the app blind spot could reduce demand unless Disney stabilizes the animatronic and updates its app information.
