Toy Story Land announced for Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Shrink to the size of a toy and explore Andy's backyard

Star Wars isn't the only new land coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios, as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek unveiled plans to also bring Toy Story Land to Orlando's Walt Disney World Resort.

As the name suggests, the new land is inspired by Disney/Pixar's Toy Story film franchise, taking into account the "overwhelming guest response" to Cars Land at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in California.

“As all of you know, here in Anaheim, we’ve been quite successful with taking immersive experiences to a whole new level as we did with Cars Land. In fact, one of our favorite stories from opening day is that we overheard a little boy asking his mom, ‘Is this where they filmed the Cars movie?'” said Imagineer Kathy Mangum. “That’s exactly how we want people to feel – like they’ve stepped onto the set of their favorite film … like the quaint town of Radiator Springs or, in the case of ‘Toy Story,’ the wild and adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard.”

In Toy Story Land, guests will "shrink to the size of a toy and explore the world of Andy's backyard." Once there, they'll be able to play with some of their favorite toys at two new attractions.

The first is a family-friendly roller coaster in which guests board Slinky Dog's back for a "toy-filled coaster adventure that's ideal for the entire family."

The second attraction is an alien saucer inspired by the famous little green aliens from the movie. This ride will "take guests around for a spin in their very own flying saucers," but Disney warns to "beware The Claw!"

In addition to two new attractions, the already-established Toy Story Midway Mania! will be getting an update. This "4D shootin' game," which often sees wait times of 90-plus minutes, will be expanded to include a third midway track, hopefully alleviating some of the wait. This new track will take you "into the world under Andy's bed where he's built a carnival-style midway."
