There certainly won't be a 100-ft tall house facade...

Oh, yeah, that I figured. I'm just wondering if there's even going to be an attempt, because it's not a very good effort as the queue stands now.

It just goes to show you how contrived this whole thing is.

Is Toy Story Mania being played in Andy's bedroom? Maybe he brought it outside onto his lawn. I thaink that's what they'll go with, especially because the entrance in the concept art looks like the entrance to a box.

Exactly, which is what makes me wonder. With all the effort going into making Avatar and Star Wars' rides fit, will there be any attempt to explain how we go from outside in a backyard to an upstairs bedroom?
I'd expect that (for real) at the lower level. With a mural above.The other lands just use really dense greenery to hide the berm.
Lots of small leaves. Bamboo, maybe, since it kind of looks like grass?

It'll be interesting to see how much they hype this before opening next year. I'd hope they realize they can't advertise this on the same scale as SWL or Pandora.
Oh, my! Such language!! <swoons>

Confirmation that the upcoming Toy Story After Dark film follows Andy to college where his toy collection diversifies. Bob Iger thinks kids who grew up on Toy Story are ready for this.

I have found the solution. As we are walking through the new entrance, Andy is carrying the playset up to his bedroom. By the time we get to the load area, we have arrived at the new location.

I know I've asked something about it before, but did they destroy all of the set pieces from the HISTK playground? If the scaling was correct, they could put the dog nose somewhere near the TSMM exit/entrance, pretend it's Buster, and say something about Buster carrying us between the two 'locations'.

Still can't understand why they are adding just 2 rides, These off the shelf rides cost peanuts to a company like Disney and whilst the rides in Paris and Hong Kong aren't spectacular by any means, other options could have been persued. Maybe the RC Racer and the Parachute rides would have had sight line issues with Star Wars and if so, that's fine...but a universe as rich as Toy Story provides plenty of other options for lower filler attractions. This just reaks of all round half-an-effort. I'm glad they're adding something, finally...but this alone ain't combatting Star Wars capacity issues...or issues the park already has for that matter!

Imo I feel like this land is going to be better than expected mainly because of how low our expectations are lol.

The Paris area is actually ok in person...I mean it's cheap, but it does its job and it's popular...I don't think it's as bad in person as it looks in photos. There's a certain tacky charm about it that actually works on a night...some of the garishness is hidden by the lighting and it's more pleasant.

I think it's nice we have two different rides. No one seems to hate Mater's (though I realize there's also Luigi's and a great E-ticket in Radiator Springs Racers as well), and we're getting a coaster, be it more of a family one but it's not exactly THAT lame. I figured there'd have been more complaining if we got the rides Paris and Hong Kong have? At least ours are unique to the land. I know some argue against it but not everything can be an E-ticket, parks need flat rides. But I think many wouldn't complain AS much if we were also getting, say Monsters Inc Door Coaster, or a little bit more on top of it.
