Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Weren't people on this forum lamenting the lack of outdoors walk-around characters and that indoor space shouldn't be used for M&Gs?

Personally I do like walk-round characters, the army men are fantastic. But the Florida weather isn't really great for characters that we know will get a long line. Why didn't they didn't even build a toy box façade for the Andy & Jessie meet and another one of Buzz's toybox so they could at least provide shade. If a character is meeting 365 days a year it does seem to make sense to have a permanent location for them.

Andy is becoming a collector. He has the 1:72 and the 1:12 figures.

He also has 3 infinity stones.

Andy is the retired Thanos?!?!?!?!

I don't feel so good Buzz...

Correct, TSL is just bam you are there.

Sigh. How disappointing. How does a resort that has a transition from the 17th to 19th century carefully executed or transitions like Caribbean plaza to frontier land or Animal Kingdom's masterful themed environments, become so negligent and careless. Meh.

Personally, I lament it the same way I lament not having to wait in line for 45+ minutes to get a picture with Mickey at the Magic Kingdom.

Would I consider a 45+ minute wait outside in the sun to be a return to the "good old days"?

Not a chance.

Do I think it's in Disney's power to fix this?

At this point, not really.

Still, it's fun to see characters like the evil stepsisters near the far castle walls in Fantasyland fully in character interacting with a crowd and posing for pictures without being completely swarmed or needing a line because the demand for them is manageable out in the open like that - I think that's the kind of thing people remember and miss with the big name characters.

Simple, it's a company that also allows this...

I like the immersions of the various lands and themes. But I have said it many times before, we love going high and "peeking behind the curtain." Looking at TSL from the open doors of ToT, seeing as much of MK as you can from the top of splash, looking through the branches of the tree house to see how much of tomorrow land you can catch. These are things our whole family enjoys, sorry for those that haven't the joy of hearing "Grumpa, look!! We can see the whole park from here!!!"

Or the carefully orchestrated transition from the past to Tomorrowland by executing a right turn.

My favorite is Fantasyland into Tomorrowland.

Shorter wait rides as filler is what's needed and is what TSL is. It's to take the rides at Galaxy's Edge down from 3 hours each to 2 hours each.

I can never understand why RnR always has an insane wait. they really need to ditch fanatasmic and put a daytime show there which will massively help spread the crowds from Galaxys Edge

They would have to build a giant shade structure over the seating to use the amphitheater during the day.

They didn't share this view for Lights, Motors, Action! Still don't in front of the Castle.

Typically during the summer, Fantasmic! isn't until 8:30 or 9 pm. They could put a show in the Fantasmic! amphitheatre without shade at 5 pm and 6:30 pm without much issue. Move it to 3:30 and 5 pm November through early March.

I thought Alice T.'s Way of Speedcups made a great transition!

Can’t say I enjoy seeing Pixar Place go away. Actually kinda depressing.

So, literally every attraction at DHS is down right now except for Alien Swirling Saucers.

Probably a power outage that doesn't affect the saucers due to the alien technology that is utilized to power it.

It’s bigger than I remembered!

Somehow I forgot they had a scaled replica of the Daytona International Speedway. How naive of me.
