Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Is Mr. Potato Head anywhere in the TSMM queue? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes you can see him partially as soon as you enter the queue building.


I just got off sticky dog, got in line at 7:05 got on at 9:35 exactly 2 and a half hours. I liked it, wait didn't seem that bad as it was interesting to watch the line move.

it is a 90 minute wait just to get into Toy Story Land, then each attraction has a wait.

Gotcha. But if you have a FP surely there is a way to get to it.

UPDATE: TSL is now at capacity! The line for SDD is past the GMR theater.

Thankfully people in line have the new Play Disney Parks app to keep themselves occupied, so that's not really a problem. /s

The end of the line for entrance to TSL is in front of the ABC Commisary...

Just wait for Galaxy’s Edge everyone....

Just wait for Galaxy’s Edge everyone....

If anything opening TSL ahead of GE will give WDW experience in dealing with that opening.

 

[UpAllNight]

Do they really think the new Mickey ride is enough to take the pressure off Star Wars?

The more I think of it the more I wish the ride music in Alien Swirling Saucers had lyrics. The best part about Mater's Junkyard Jamboree are the hilarious songs and Mater saying silly things after the ride. We were laughing out loud at that when we rode it for the first time last year. I expected something similar with the new Alien ride, but instead we just get some unremarkable electronic music which is not very memorable. How fun would it have been if a choir of aliens was singing different songs about the claw, or about their savior Buzz Lightyear. Maybe one song could have an appearance by Zurg and all lights turn purple. And then when the ride ends they could announce different things like "Thank you for riding with us, we are eternally grateful". That would have made this fun ride great.

Mr potato head is broken, he has said the phrase "give me another d" at least 7 times in a row. Hes suppose to say 3ds and to pick up the glasses.

Saturday morning. 270 minute wait for the coaster.

Just recording these numbers for posterity:
SDD - 270 minutes
Aliens - 120 minutes
TSMM - 80 minutes

(from the MDE app at 10:20am eastern)

Also, my guess is that MDE maxes at 270 minutes - because the physical signs in the park read 300?

Saturday morning. 270 minute wait for the coaster.

This is absolutely nuts. People are waiting over four hours for a small, naked, lightly-themed coaster because it has Disney branding. You want to wait three hours for FoP on opening day? I wouldn’t do it, but I completely understand the choice. But this?

This is the kind of fanatical “brand loyalty” that ensures that even when competition forces WDW to invest in the parks, execs know they can nix the door coaster and the RSR clone and the Indy ride and build a small bare coaster and a significantly worse version of Mater’s. They can even nix any and all air-conditioned structures. Because guests will form 270 minute lines for Slinky Dog Dash.

Honestly at this point... if I was Disney I would do the same... people are lemmings who eat the cheap bad for you crap up...

Why invest in more expensive produce when people don’t seem to care what they do so long as it’s new.

If we want change it has to start with our wallets.

It’s opening day of a new land in an underdeveloped Park.

My guess is that DHS during SWGE might be slightly better than this, only because TSL and Mickey (plus maybe the Cars show and a replacement for Mermaid or Beast if that happens too) could draw people away from the land. It’s still going to be absolute hell, but at least there will be more to do at the park than there is today.

 

[SuperStretccch]

Absolutely insane wait times. I imagine it's going to get worse once lower APs (like me) are unblocked.

Hoping that maybe the hype dies down really quick (it probably won't, this is Disney), or I can get an FP for Slinky/Aliens. If not, then I guess I'll continue doing what I did at HS before, hit RnRC, ToT, Star Tours, maybe one show, and then park-hop somewhere else.

I really hope they're prepared for Galaxy's Edge. If people will wait four hours for this, just imagine what next Fall will be like... *shudders*

I wouldn't. Brand loyalty will suffice for the short term, but in the long term it would bite them. That being said, I reject the premise that that this is just a small bare coaster....
