I've not seen any plans for this but, I'm not sure that there would be any need to take down the walkway bridge unless they are tearing down a building it is attached to. It's not like anyone is going to bump their head on it walking under it and it would make a good base for a creative entry to Toy Story Land. Someone may know if they are going tear it down, I'm just thinking out loud (in print).
Walkway and "studio" 4 should both be going. Sadly but that's just me.

That is to bad... is it just to make a wider path for the entrance? I'm drawing a blank here, has Studio 4 been used for anything in the recent (post studio) past?
It was never a "real" studio. Originally it was the ramp down and exhibit space for the walking tour (housing props from "The Lottery"). More recent times have seen it house exhibits from the HM movie, Narnia, and the PotC movies wannabe show. And another movie tie in thingy whose name escapes me at the moment. And of course the famous relaxation and recharge lounge.
Yes, it's for a wider TSL path. Once last the OMD entrance the path should curve to the right, pass the retained TSMM bathrooms, the TSMM garage building and and then cross the fire lane into the new land.

So OMD is staying? I had read somewhere it was also getting demo'd for TS entrance
That was just fan speculation. Back when people were panicking that everything was going, which would have left nothing but a popcorn cart outside the entrance while construction was happening.
It's going. For what and when I don't know. But not for TSLs entrance.

You mean they are not removing Fantasmic to make room for the Toy Story land entrance?

Seems like I remember that ramp. Did it kind of wind itself around the walls with some type of display in the middle, like a catwalk type thing or am I thinking of something else.
That's the one! It's included in my Disney MGM Tours history part one video (shameless plug
)

Perhaps this is where they got the idea for the gondola lifts.

Disney has a habit of assuming their guests are dumber than they actually are.

They seem content to use it to preview new films and whichever M&G is popular. I don't personally take offense to the latter in the movie park, but I wish they could find something more compelling for the theater. I'd take AniMagic if they are stumped for ideas.

Quick vent: I know this has been said over and over, but sort of assumed it was just us Disney-holics who took notice. Fairly recently a family I follow on youtube went to Disney world on the husband's first trip since he was small. He knew Disney owned Pixar, and was dying to meet Walle. He was sorely disappointed that all he found in Pixar place was Toy Story, and even resorted to taking a picture of himself with a trash can as a Walle substitute.
With all the wonderful material coming out of Pixar, why is Disney so in love with Toy Story? Pixar Place should be much more than one film, or series of films.

Toy Story: Four movies with huge profits and even huger merchandising potential.
WALL*E: One movie with OK profits and a lot less merchandising potential.

Toy Story Land will fix this problem since "Pixar Place" will go away and the entire area will be themed to Toy Story. Personally I don't like the idea of a specific studio being a theme.
