What will happen to Hiro and Baymax from Magic of Disney Animation at Hollywood Studios?


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


As I mentioned on June 29, 2015 the Magic of Disney Animation building is closing on July 12, 2015.  The Animation Academy and the Drawn to Animation movie will close and Mickey and Minnie relocate within the park.  The future of Hiro and Baymax had not been formalized at that time, so here’s the news.

What will happen to Hiro and Baymax at Walt Disney World? kennythepirate

  • Mickey – Moves to area near the Monsters Inc characters where Darth Vader and Darth Maul have met during Star Wars Weekends.
  • Minnie – Moves back to the Chinese Theater / stage area and should appear at the same time as Chip n Dale.  Their schedules are found on Character Locator along with all others.
  • Hiro and Baymax – Here’s the bad news!  Hiro and Baymax will not have a home in Walt Disney World for several months.  An insider informed me that they will receive a new home later this year and Baymax is undergoing some type of transformation.  No details on the location for the future return were provided at this time.  I’ll update you as I hear more details.

Hey, apparently Baymax is back! Just Baymax though, no Hiro. I'm really disappointed that there's no Hiro, but at least Baymax is in Epcot now! Fingers crossed for the whole team to show up!!

He has been listed on my character page and www.characterlocator.com since before Christmas.

They should probably make a new costume for Baymax, if it's such a big problem, then they should just make a simple, non-blinking one. I was so excited to meet him and Hiro this week, especially Hiro. So disappointed. :(

Hiro & Baymax are fun to meet - perhaps they can be "reimagined" in their battle gear to help avoid the Baymax's balloon problem?
