DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Andy's new backyard is in the dessert.

One of the biggest contradictions to it's premise.

We should have gotten the next Gen of Honey I shrunk the Kids, but got Pop Century wonky scale without as much air conditioning.

shoot id say adventure land in MK is pretty terrible imo. You got jungle cruise...then it turns into a terrible aladdin themed 6 flags spinner...then to pirates.....its pretty bad imo

Agreed... though it's pretty much the Six Flags spinner (plus the associated thematic changes in that subsection of the land) that cause the problem. Before that, the transition between "old Adventureland" and Caribbean Plaza worked, I think.

I agree the old version worked better... The spinner and the Aladdin theming just don't seem to fit... Maybe a miniland at DHS with an Aladdin flying carpet coaster....or put the miniland in the unused African pavilion area at EPCOT? It would be nice to see that part of Adventureland brought back to it's tropical island motif....

Ditching the spinner in Adventureland can easily be solved

Indeed, but will it be?

I suspect the only way is if they finally add the long-planned additional Adventureland e-ticket, and determine that removing the spinner is better for crowd flow. Until then…

Is Toy Story Land the worst designed land in an American Disney park? Marvel Land in DCA has to give it a bit of competition and “new Frontierland” seems like a threat to claim the crown, but TSL is certainly up there.

Avengers Campus in its current state is very underwhelming, but the size of Toy Story Land makes it worse IMO.

AC has at least one very good ride, albeit a reskin, in Guardians. Of course, it also has one of Disneys worst rides and generally wastes the biggest IP in film history. Still, I’d tend to agree with you.

When and if the other two rides get built it will be much better, but that won't excuse how bad Webslingers is or the general lack of shade which makes just standing outside for whatever reason brutal.

New pavement has been added to the Woody’s Lunch Box seating area as work continues - photos from today.

Hopefully an umbrella or three is added as well!!! That area is so unbearably hot at times. Marie

I have not been following this at all. What is this construction all about? Wasn't the restaurant already opened?

Mostly seating

 

[FutureCEO]

I sadly thought this was done already. I should have known better.

I guess I’m confused why they felt the need to rip everything up if all they’re going to do is install a canopy… they are installing a canopy, right??

Roundup Rodeo Barbeque is the sit-down restaurant and it's open. This is for Woody's Lunchbox, the land's quick service, which has way too few places to sit so they're adding some.

Which is a good thing, but they announced it and put up the walls to start almost three years ago.

 

[Bocabear]

I thought this seating expansion was being worked on like a year ago.....
Looks like we were posting about it in February of 2023.....And People think that Carsland and Tropical Americas are going to be opening in 2025? lol

 

[dmc493]

Those big holes feel like new footings for *fingers crossed* some new type of canopy structure? But we'll just have to wait and see

 

[Fox&Hound]

Any timeline on when this is supposed to be done?

 

[Indy_UK]

More proof that its probably cost them more money going back and adding this expanded seating with shade than cutting it from the budget when building the original land.

Disney really hasn’t cut budgets after a project starts in a long time. Program gets cut to help cover costs elsewhere.
