Final Touches Being Put on Toy Story Land Model; New Animal Kingdom VIP Tour

Final Touches Being Put on Toy Story Land Model for Walt Disney Presents:

Just a few weeks ago we learned that One Man's Dream at Disney's Hollywood Studios would become Walt Disney Presents. Today, we learned that the new preview center which will house models of both Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and a never before seen Toy Story Land will open on September 8. Here is what we can expect in Walt Disney Presents as heard from the Disney Parks Blog today:

In addition to historic sketches, photos and storyboards, guests can also view ride vehicle maquettes, a portion of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge model, concept art for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction, and an all-new Toy Story Land model – which is being completed at Walt Disney Imagineering right now.

Yes, we now have a sneak peak of just what the Toy Story Land model will look like and here are the photos of Imagineers working on the model in detail.

I can't wait to see this model in person the next time I visit Disney's Hollywood Studios.
