Vacation Fun – An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie is scheduled to temporarily close at Disney's Hollywood Studios on August 9, 2026. Mickey Shorts Theater will instead be used for Annual Passholder Kermit the Frog magnet pickup.
The change removes a short, seated, air-conditioned attraction from the park's Animation Courtyard area. The current report expects the theater attraction to return later this year, but does not give a reopening date.
Key details
- Closure date: August 9, 2026
- Temporary use: Annual Passholder Kermit the Frog magnet pickup
- Reported pickup window: Through September 24
- Reopening: Expected later in 2026; exact date unknown
What changes for guests
Vacation Fun is not a headliner, but it is a useful indoor pause during an afternoon rain shower or a hot stretch of a Hollywood Studios day. Guests who use it as a quick seated break should not count on it after August 8.
The theater will remain in service as a magnet pickup location, not as a public show venue. Passholder eligibility, daily inventory, and any pickup instructions should be checked in My Disney Experience before a special trip to the park.
Walt Disney Presents remains a nearby seated indoor option. It is a different attraction, with a longer documentary presentation, so it is not a substitute for the Mickey-and-Minnie short. It is simply a practical alternative for guests who need a quiet, air-conditioned stop.
What is still unknown
The September 24 pickup endpoint is not a confirmed reopening date. It only marks the reported end of the theater's temporary magnet use. Guests visiting after that date should still check the operating calendar rather than assume Vacation Fun has resumed.
This is also not described as a permanent closure or a reimagining. The confirmed story is a temporary change of use. Disney has not published new show content, a reopening date, or a reason beyond the magnet pickup program.
For an August or September Hollywood Studios visit, treat Vacation Fun as unavailable until Disney lists it as operating again.
