Yes times in the app, no charge, no reservations. Maybe just arrive 15 minutes early? They have some that are adult only sessions and some for all ages.Yes, it is like a "learn to draw" class.
Is it something I need to reserve ahead of time?
Are the times listed in the navigator app?
Is this an upcharge activity?
They do have learn to draw classes but they aren't nearly as good now as they were pre pandemic IMO. Now they have prerecorded lessons vs the host doing the teaching.I will be on the Magic (4 night) in September 2024. Does anyone know if there are animation classes - Like the one at Rafiki Planet Watch at Animal Kingdom? I am a horrible artist, however it is one of my favorite parts of Animal Kingdom.
I don't think it's necessarily the pandemic. We had one cruise in 2021 with a cruise staff member named Gus on the Wonder leading the classes and he was PHENOMENAL. Last year on the Dream in Europe we literally had Don "Ducky" Williams leading a class, which was a total treat. In January on the Magic we had a cruise staff team member leading who was quite good. I can't remember her name.They do have learn to draw classes but they aren't nearly as good now as they were pre pandemic IMO. Now they have prerecorded lessons vs the host doing the teaching.
I follow Gus on social media (@Gusbordel on IG) and shared your post with him. He says hello and was very touched by your words!I don't think it's necessarily the pandemic.

So really it could be either. I mean, they need to just happen to have a member of cruise staff onboard and available that can draw a variety of characters from memory reasonably well. All those elements aren't necessarily always going to align so it's nice that they have the videos now instead of not offering them at all (which is what they used to have when nobody could teach it).
Aw, that is so wonderful. I'm off to follow him! He truly made our trip magical. He really inspired me to practice drawing the characters and I'm happy to say I'm getting better and better every time. His patience and warmth made a huge impact on me.I follow Gus on social media (@Gusbordel on IG) and shared your post with him. He says hello and was very touched by your words!
