The way this land has been in constant construction since it opened to fix every corner they cut initially

Maybe one day it'll get an actual store too

They need to add a Poultry Palace...I'm just sayin..

 

[ToTBellHop]

At least the floor isn’t coming up and causing tripping hazards.

 

[Bocabear]

They should have that finished by 2027? I mean if it is as complicated as additional seating......

 

[James Alucobond]

I kind of wish they’d add a Disney Springs Market-like structure between the entrance to Pixar Plaza and TSL. Put seating inside, with a brick facade viewable from the Plaza side and a Lincoln log or toy barn facade viewable from within the land. It would add covered seating, create a more defined transition, and potentially improve the land’s reveal.

Does anyone remember some of the ideas that were cut from this land? Or if there’s even any room for expansion or a flat ride?

Original released art - which I’m sure was already cut down budget wise from initial ideas.

 

[James Alucobond]

In short, the toy barn left of the entrance is the main planned structure still missing. Most other changes were cosmetic or ride path-related. Resurrecting some of the SDD scenery would definitely be a plus.

What was the western town facade on the right going to be?

What was the western town facade on the right going to be?

Not sure. I always assumed restaurant, as it ended up being, just styled as the playset hotel’s saloon instead. Wouldn’t really make sense to have another shop.

Oh so that’s a facade into the same studio building they used for roundup?

I had always assumed so, yeah. The Woody-on-horseback sits roughly where the RRBBQ archway now is, so the hotel would have more or less aligned with the main structure, with the two smaller additions to the left perhaps being interior-accessible waiting space, restrooms, etc.

There was at least some talk that the western area was either a show or meet & greet. Don’t know if that was actual plans or just idle speculation

There isn't a ton of room... They could probably axe the current stroller parking for a small carousel (like jessies critter carousel from DCA)

Another option would be to eat into the SWGE berm and reconfigure the Alien Queue.

That space in the berm will become part of the new construction project

The current snack stand construction? or a different construction because there is room for a dark ride there
