Disney has covered the 50th anniversary medallion on the Frozone statue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, part of the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection that debuted for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.” 50th anniversary medallions were removed from most of the statues in late September, but a handful remained. The last few 50th anniversary medallions on Magic Kingdom statues were covered this month.

Joe Gardner Statue

One 50th anniversary medallion does remain — on the base of the Joe Gardner (“Soul”) statue.

It’s strange that this medallion hasn’t been removed. While the other hold-outs were statues with medallions incorporated into their design (like Frozone’s being part of his ice), Joe’s medallion is just on the front of his normal EARidescent base.

Disney removed all other medallions like this one and cleaned up the bases in September, so it’s not clear why this one remains. How do you feel about the removed and covered medallions? Let us know in the comments.

Updated planning context for 2026 visitors

This medallion update was a small visual change, but it points to a larger guest question: where are the Hollywood Studios character statues and are they still worth finding? For many families, the answer is yes if they want quick photos between rides and shows.

What this means for your trip

Use statue stops as low-pressure filler between bigger reservations. They work best when you are already passing through the area rather than crossing the park only for a photo.

Quick answers

Where is the Frozone statue at Hollywood Studios?

Look for it in the Hollywood Studios areas tied to the Disney Fab 50 character collection. Exact placement can shift with construction and entertainment changes.

Are the Disney Fab 50 statues still worth seeing?

Yes, if your group enjoys character photos and quick scavenger-hunt style stops.

Should guests plan a full route around the statues?

Most guests should treat them as bonus stops, not the main structure of the day.
