Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios to Open June 30

Today, Walt Disney World announced an opening date for their newest addition, Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. After being originally announced during the 2015 D23 Expo in Anaheim, Toy Story Land will open on June 30, 2018.

Guests visiting Toy Story Land will “shrink” to the size of a toy and join in on the fun Woody, Jessie, Buzz, and Andy’s other toys are having in Andy’s backyard. Here, guests can take a ride on Slinky Dog Dash, a roller coaster Andy has assembled from his Mega Coaster Play Kit and topped off with Slinky and Jessie. Slinky Dog Dash is a dual-launch coaster from MACK Rides.

Families will also be able to take a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers, a galactic play set that Andy won from Pizza Planet. Here, the iconic green aliens from the Toy Story films swirl about in their flying saucers with guests in tow in their rocket ship toys, while “The Claw” hangs overhead.

As part of the expansion, guests will have access to a new “Carnival Game Box” entrance for Toy Story Mania, which has operated at the park since 2008. Now expanded with a third track, the popular attraction will put even more guests in the action taking aim at 3D objects.

Toy Story land will also add a new restaurant to Hollywood Studios’ culinary offerings. Woody’s Lunch Box – actually, Andy’s lunch box that he’s set on its side – will serve up tasty meals and old-fashioned soda floats from a walk-up window setting.

The entire land will serve as a visual celebration of toys, with Crayons, Cooties, Green Army Men, Rubik’s Cubes, Tinkertoys, and other familiar toys and game pieces incorporated into the land’s design.
