We went when it was still Bear in the Big Blue House and Stanley. I don't know if it's been changed, since Stanley's not on anymore. (I miss that show! I learned a lot!)

If only to watch Bear do the cha-cha-cha! Inside of playhouse disney you get a big bare floor, w/benches around the edges. So there is some seating, but the majority of people are encouraged to sit on the floor. The stage is moveable sets w/slots where puppets pop up. Have fun.

I love just sitting in there & watching the walls. Crush is very cool too. Have Fun!

Originally Posted By cheesybaby Yes, the Snow White exhibit is very classy and a great temporary addition to the already-great Animation attraction. The zoetrope is untouched - the Snow White display takes up the entirety of the "courtyard" room with all the screens, and the screens all alternate Snow White artwork. This is the kind of thing the building should have been used for since 2001. They should do this same kind of thing for every big re-issue or for each 2-disc Platinum DVD release. Kind of like a croos between the Disney Gallery and a museum exhibit. Thumbs way up here.
