Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ToTBellHop]

The franchise sure is!

I think TSM would be more fun if they tailored it to the holidays with new game offerings during Christmas or Halloween. Or if the characters referenced and interacted with players in the ride though the "magic" of those magicbands. The ride could use some new games. But, I guess it fits well with the rest of TSL: Acceptable and fun but hardly must-see/must do experiences.

Interestingly enough, that was the original plan.

This table service restaurant announcement is a positive sign for the area lacking any indoor space.

Table-Service Restaurant: CONFIRMED!

Roundup Rodeo BBQ

I'm still holding out hope for Al's Toy Barn and a Woody's Roundup BBQ in TSL. They'd just have to knock a few buildings down here and there.

Holy Toledo, I got my wish 10 days later.

Wait, they know how to build a roof that's large enough to cover people in a restaurant and not rely on 100 umbrellas scattered around? Now that's news to me.


This is exactly what the land needs and will make it feel more complete.

"special announcement you don’t want to miss on Wednesday at 9:55 a.m. EST." They are also supposed to be making some sort of announcement tomorrow on the DPB.

According to @ThemeParks on Twitter, there will also be a TS4 pop up shop outside of TSMM.

Have to admit having a TSR in Toy Story Land could make a very unique dining experience with all the toy theme. I'm excited for this! Wonder what else we are going to get announced.

This is a very nice welcome surprise. I've still not been to TSL but I think it still needs a bit more and this TSR is a great addition. Still just want a Toy Store and for me This land will be enough.

I bet we won't be seeing this place for a while though

The only thing urgently missing in TSL now that the TSR was announced is a proper (indoor) M&G facility
The Toy Story characters are hugely popular and still, people have to wait hours in line under the florida heat to meet them in front of a facade...

And a store.

Where they could sell, you know, toys

Quick, wish for them to fix the Yeti!

Alright, you got it. I want Disney to fix the Yeti and bring back "World of Motions".

.... and I want a 100 million dollars. Might as well get something for me too.

The awful site who should not be named is staying a “temporary” gift shop is coming to the end of the queue. Is that the pop up shop that was announced?

Yes

So that other site has a post with photos of a new store that has opened at the exit of Toy Story Mania.

I have never seen an uglier design... The dentist office ceiling... fluorescent lighting... My god.

Sad and desperate. The same company that is building Galaxy's Edge on the adjacent footprint creates this merchandise location. It looks like a gift shop one would find in a children's hospital.

It is unfathomable that a dedicated merchandise location, Big Al's Toy Barn, was cut from this land. Sadly, if the pop-up does well, executives will likely take pride in knowing that paint and off-the-shelf retail fixtures are enough to sell mass produced Disney merchandise.

Also, did anyone else notice the balloons flanking the entrance? When have you seen that at a Disney Park?

I was there today when you walk out of the ride all you see is a white room, I expected nothing but I was still disappointed.

Yes this whole land in underwhelming. I seriously believe it was all built by WDI interns. That’s mostly who you saw showing the land off to their families. Budget cuts land more like it. Not sure which land is worse, Dinoland or TSL.
