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


As reported this morning that a big announcement would be made about Toy Story Land on Good Morning America. We finally have an opening date for Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The new 11-acre land will open officially on June 30, 2018, about a month later than the originally speculated Memorial Day Weekend in May. Here is the announcement:



When it opens, 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 beloved 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. The new family fun roller coaster will have a height requirement of 38".


Families will also be able to take a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers, a galactic play set that Andy won from Pizza Planet. Here, adorable little green aliens swirl about in their flying saucers with guests in tow in their rocket ship toys, while “The Claw” hangs overhead. Alien Swirling Saucers will have a height requirement of 32".


Check out this new concept art above for the brand new entrance to Toy Story Mania for when the new land opens for the classic attraction that has been part of the park since 2008. 

Let's not forget, 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.

Here are some more fun facts on Toy Story Land that were released today:

· More than 400 toy blocks fill Andy’s backyard.

· Andy’s footprint is about 25 feet long or the equivalent of a size 240 shoe.

· You would need a backpack the size of a school bus to carry the Buzz and Woody figures that tower over Toy Story Land
