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

[MrPromey]

Here's a quote from the Melody Malmberg book saying constructionon AK began in August 1995:
"Back at Imagineering there was elation, adulation and frantic activity. Jack Blitch recalls the fallout [of the announcement]: "Everyone realised it's a real project!" Bids on contracts came in on or under budget. The earth-moving for Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park began in August. With opening day set for Spring 1998, a mere two-and-a-half years remained to build Disney's largest-ever theme park."

Thank you. That's the first reference to actual construction timelines I've ever seen when it comes to AK.

I appreciate the effort on that and I'll shut up now. (well, about this, anyway )

No worries. I do recommend Melody Malmberg's "The Making of Animal Kingdom" for anyone interested in AK's history as the park's development went through a lot of changes from 1989 to the announcement in 1995
