Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Daveeeeed]

Either way I wouldn't hold my breathe for TSL. It isn't a fantastic addition to keep guests away from more time-consuming parks.

I woke up at 5 something to get to Pandora on the second day of being opened and it was well worth it and very enjoyable. Toy Story Land is not that kind of land, but I'm sure it will serve its purpose well enough.

Anyone else notice that the wait times for Slinky and a$$ are starting to go way down? I knew it would not be as bad as opening day but the wait times dropped quite a bit on Sunday and Monday. I looked at wait times today (July 3rd) and the wait times for RnR and ToT were but higher than all 3 rides in TSL. Current wait time for Slinky is 75 minutes and a$$ is 55 followed by TSM at 60 minutes. Just seems strange that the wait times have decreased this much or I should say it surprises me. I watched some of the YouTube vloggers and based on what they were showing on Friday evening and then opening day it would have scared me away from going as it looked miserable, so maybe that is playing a role. Just putting it out there and wondering if anyone else noticed. Have a great day everyone!

Then I would say it's doing its job. This was meant to be filler for the park, Star Wars will be the main event.

Wait times for the two new rides have been relatively low for a new land. I would expect Alien Swirling Saucers to fall in line with Dumbo if not less and Slinky Dog Dash to fall in line with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train if not less.

I agree it is supposed to be filler for the main event, but to only be the top ride for 2 days surprised me.

It will. But not to the scale of Pandora.

Star Wars is going to be WAY bigger than Pandora. What are you talking about?

@David2319 Mentioned Pandora and that's why I compared TSL and Pandora. SW:GE hasn't open yet, so we don't know .

I would think families on vacation this week would be sticking to MK (and maybe Epcot for the fireworks).

TSL would be a big draw for local APs as being new, but we're in Silver blackout territory now.

Didn't they lift the black out dates for July?

With hour long lines just to get into Toy Story Land, how does it work if you have a fast pass? Do you have to turn up in time to queue to get into the land, or can you walk straight in at your FP time?

Not sure there are lines to get into the land any more, and if so, not all day.

But, if there is a line to get into the land, your FP allows you to skip it.

No, the blackout was lifted until June 29th

@wdwmagic should we expect reviews of the land, food and attractions like you did with Pandora?

We’ve stepped into the Twilight Zone, where TSM has a manageable wait time on a busy day

Didn’t think this day would come

We’ve stepped into the Twilight Zone, where TSM has the shortest wait time of all the rides in the park.

Didn’t think this day would come

Except it’s tied for 3 out of 6

Andy mistakenly drinking hard lemonade explains why he built a food stand for his toys and only included two (2!) registers. Surely a kid who can build a Kinex coaster with two (2!) launches should be able to count his toys and realize the one food stand would need at least four (4!) registers. And that the line for his coaster would need shade structures to keep Sid from melting the toys who didnt suck up to Lotso enough to get priority access to the ride.

I’m assuming they thought that mobile ordering would already be bigger, so they didn’t see the need. I was surprised last month how few folks were using it, when it makes life so much easier.

Yes! Coming in the next day or so.

Especially in a theme park that only has four other rides operating.

This is another glaring example to me that the TEA annual attendance numbers are wildly overstated for parks like DHS and DAK.
