Little review of Animation Experience at Conservation Station
When this was announced I swapped one of our Everest fast passes for this and did it just after it opened.
It was so nice getting the Wildlife express again after not being at Conservation Station for so long. We arrived at Rafiki’s Planet Watch and were shown to our seats. We collected a drawing sheet and pencil on our way & clipboards were on our seats. The animator arrived and showed us step by step how to draw the character for today - Timon. There are guidelines in the paper and it was so easy to follow along and draw our very own Timon picture. It took around 10 minutes. We enjoyed it so much we decided to go back a couple of days later to try and do it without a FP. We were in quite a big standby queue to enter as all FP people are seated 1st, but we all got in in the end. This time we drew Simba. I would highly recommend it and the pictures make great souvenirs. 😊 |

Thanks for posting. Sounds like you don’t need to use a FastPass for this, so that’s good news!

Do they have certain characters on a daily scheduled timed list ( like in Disneyland Cali Adventure) or is it up to the animator which character is drawn in each time slot?

Good to hear you enjoyed it. On another thread I asked about snakes. I was told they had seen someone holding one and talking to people. Did you see any and if so was it easy to avoid as I'm very phobic and unsure whether to go to this for our fastoass next month. Thanks

Yes they have different characters from the Lion King at different time slots.
Before we went in to our 2nd class we asked which character it is going to be and the CM had a list of the different characters and which time slot each of the character was. Our 1st class was the last slot of the day & our second was around 2nd to last of the day. 😊 |

No we didn’t see any snakes out. I don’t like them either.
On our 2nd visit there was a bird show as we were leaving, but our 1st visit was just as Rafiki’s was about to close so everyone just headed straight for the train back to Harambe. If they do ever get snakes out though it’d be very easy to avoid 😊 |

Ah... this brings back memories of Hollywood Studios and the Art of Animation Tour. Loved doing this, we went in class after class after class... I now have a portfolio of my Disney artwork and loads of "How to draw..." books. I noticed an ad for this recently and was a little sad to see all the guidelines on the paper already. All you used to get was Disney branded paper and a pencil. They taught you how to do the guidelines and everything. Can't decide if I will like the new version. Seems to have been shortened to get more people through.

I don’t know why, but we never went to any of the animation classes at HS, I used to think ‘next time’ we’ll do it, but never got round to it.
Didn’t do any when we stayed at AoA either 😳 I quite liked having the guidelines, but I guess they’ve maybe added them to save time? Bet it’s so nice having your portfolio to look back on 😊 |

Thats great...glad you enjoyed it, we loved it...wished we had made time to go back to it. Pumba was our character
You will be fine...honestly... even asking a CM if any "show and tell" classes are on whilst you are there may help?...they will reassure you. Dont let that put you off the class, its well worth doing...! My DW and DD wont even walk glass the glass that have the tanks on the other side of them..! , they walked back out the incoming side... you will be fine |
