Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Disneyhead'71]

Opens Memorial Day weekend.

With three prior months of previews and soft opening.

I have heard Memorial Day Weekrnf for Grand Opening, but 3 months of Softs for these 2 attractions is ridiculous.

Well that's interesting. Would be nice to see a soft during Presidents Day week but I doubt it.

I've got a conference in April so I'd love softs during this time.

I can't see 3 months of previews. Probably the month of April-into May for castmembers and then AP/DVC (if they so choose).

I've figured Memorial Day was the plan. That seems to be their go-to anymore.

AP previews for the win!

I have no special knowledge on this. I'm taking @marni1971 's "spring" and adding in the usual Memorial Day targeting date plus getting done way ahead of time.

Pandora had a nearly six week preview... and that's without adding a soft opening.

Three months feels long but Mission Space began previews in June 2003 and Grand Opened in October.

 

[Kman101]

Six weeks is different than THREE months, lol. But who knows? Guess we'll see.

If the official opening date is being announced on the 30th as we are assuming, then that's pretty far ahead to make an announcement. Maybe they had a reason for wanting a firm date out ASAP, but are leaving themselves a large buffer to be sure they don't miss it.

Spring. As planned all along. This is Disney of today after all.

I looks like a lot is done, but go back and look at the aerials from the past month, the construction is moving pretty slowly. For example, here is the fence on August 20th:

Disney produces artwork. Others produce 'paint by numbers'.

One thing to add to the puzzle of previews is that one of the features of TSL (TSM) is already open with a separate entrance, and mild construction will be necessary to close of PP and you can't just have TSM open for previews. My personal bet is that we are going to see Hollywood's WWoHP Part Two with this, or practically no previews.

The only way I could see previews is previews-in-name-only. Like Mission Space had. No reason it couldn't have grand opened two months before it did.

 

[DisneyDodo]

My guess is that Disney learned from the craziness that was the Pandora opening, and they will try to minimize the crowds on official TSL opening day by adding plenty of previews and soft openings for months beforehand.

I don't see how a small themed land would ever be compared to Avatarland.

When TSL opens, it will contain half the rides of DHS. It will be packed.

I refuse to wait 75 minutes for A S S next summer, no matter how nice it is.

 

[LieutLaww]

You know you would wait for any amount of time for A S S

 

[GlacierGlacier]

So now we've got A S S and M I L F. A wonderful collection.

This whole project is the equivalent of opening up that Christmas gift only to find out it's just new socks.

 

[Kman101]

To some of you. For others it's not a problem. Such a big deal is being made out of this land.
