Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[MisterPenguin]

This has probably been asked already and if so forgive my asking: BUT what, if anything will happen to Pixar Place as a result of this expansion? One doesn't negate the other -- obviously TSL and Pixar Place can coexist but doesn't Pixar Place becomes somewhat redundant or unnecessary now?

It becomes backstage.

Indeed.

Keep in mind "Pixar Place" was a tragically undeveloped land, and I'm using 'land' super generously. All it was was the entrance to TSM and and narrow brick buildout to the side of TGMR in which they had a Pixar shop and M&G. And that's it. More like Pixar Cubby Hole than 'Place.'

Apologies for being that person who I'm sure isn't the first person to ask but 529 pages is a lot to go through. I know grand opening is June 30th. We will be visiting just a few days before and leaving on the 30th. Does anyone know if TSL will be open prior and are fastpasses ever offered before an official opening?

Nope, not yet. No official announcements and no indications from any of our insiders yet as to what would be available before the official opening or when FPs become available.

Thanks, I appreciate the info, or I guess the lack of info that is out.

Not blazing fast but fast enough for a family coaster. Looks like it could be fun.

Just curious to know if they were also going to be adding the Buzz Lightyear statue on the opposite entrance from Galaxy's edge? Seems that the other playlands have one...

The rumoured new fastpass tiers reported by Kenny the Pirate. Now it's the wait for official confirmation from Disney. All Toy Story rides Tier 1 and everything else moving down.

Ahh, so they are and will be smaller...Makes sense to make it that way to not overpower the sightline from that side..

I hope this is an April fools joke.

edit: At least it'll be charming to say I've got me a tier 1 "(fill in the acronym for the saucers ride)" fast pass.

Nope.

Based on the experience of someone booking CL FPs. The post seems legit, he even included screen shots showing the choices, as in "You may choose one of the following tier 1 rides" with the 3 TSL rides listed, and everything else listed under tier 2.

Pretty sure @Rteetz can chime in with more info/details.

Well deciding which FPs to get at DHS will soon get a lot easier

How so? Which way will you go?

I am now totally confused. Slinky dog or Midway Mania?

Yep Alien Swirling Saucers (kind of like All Star Sports). Don't forget Monsters Inc Laugh Floor!

FP one, rope drop the other, and hope that the 3 tracks for TSM won't make the standby too long.

I'd be more inclined to take advantage of being able to have Tower of Terror and Rock 'N' Roller Coaster alongside Toy Story Midway Mania

And either way, this won't last long.

Once SWL opens, everything else will be pushed down to tier 2, with the possible exception of Mickey

I’ve got 5 or 6 days from the June 30th opening to carefully watch wait times and determine which is the more popular ride before I have to book my FPP’s.

I’ll be like Roz - always watching.

Yep all 3 TSL attractions are tier 1. Everything else at DHS is tier 2 beginning June 30th.
