***Official*** Toy Story Land Information Thread

Gotta say, I think the AS2 ride looks a bit lame. I have been on Mater in DCA and one of the best parts was the song (especially when he forgot the words).
At least it makes my fastpass selection a little easier.

And when he tells you to 'getch'er junk' as you're climbing out of the vehicle we love that ride too. However, I remember riding the Luigi ride & giving it more than one chance...still lame...now gone. I talked to my teens about this new land, they asked if AS2 would be like Luigi & we all laughed. I told them I'm not so sure it won't be the dud of the new land, but we'll try it too.

I'm looking at official park hours for the second week in September and see Hollywood Studios is opening at 9am and closing at 8pm most nights. I'm a bit surprised this has not changed since I was honestly expected longer hours due to TSL being brand new. Does anyone think the hours may be extended or maybe they are waiting to gauge the popularity?

I wonder how things will be over at FoP on Sat with everyone going to TSL opening.

Maybe I’ll keep an eye on that as comparison on Saturday.

Just listened to the Daily Fix - did I hear right that guests will be able to access TSL after the dedication ceremony tomorrow? I listened twice and thought that's what was said, but just wanted to confirm. That might be good info for anyone in the park tomorrow!

Will be there tomorrow. What time is the dedication? Any more info on this?

I can't find any more info on the land being open afterwards...I'm going to be in the park tomorrow so I think I'll head over that way and see for myself. If anyone else listens to the Daily Fix, see if you think that's what's being said, but that's what it sounds like to me.

They verified in the comment section that the land doesn’t open to the general public until Saturday.

I’ve been wondering this too. I’d really like extended hours.

Same here! I’m hoping they extend EMH to 7am on the day we plan to go.

I'm guessing they'll extend it. Last year from at least the 9th-16th it closed at 9pm (ETA: with exception of right around Irma-can't remember what time they closed on the 9th as we were at MK that night and then the parks were closed the 10th and 11th but originally they were planned for 9pm) and it had nothing to do with TSL. They changed the hours several times. I don't have exactly when they changed from 8pm to 9pm but it was originally listed as 8pm and from my tracking last year they changed hours throughout the parks in March 2017, again in May 2017 and again in August 2017 though I was also tracking hours for Universal.

Disney may even change hours right when you're there on your trip. Best advice is to keep checking.

I'm hopeful they'll change them, mostly 'cause I *really* want to see TSL at night! It looks so good!

Hoping they extend them still in mid October when we go but that is quite a way off.

Watched a few videos here and there of the media preview. Anyone know if the new queue eventually hooks up with the existing queue? Also, I take it there's no claw purpose of the alien ride, right? Also, is there room at Toy Story land if WDW ever want to expand the land to add another attraction? love what I am seeing as I always love everything about Toy Story....

OK. I am prepared for people making fun of me for this question, but please be kind. This has been bugging me and I hope someone can explain it to me and not make fun of me if the answer is really obvious.
Why is the food stand called Woody's Lunch Box? Isn't it Andy's backyard and his lunchbox? Thank you for not laughing at me

That's a good question! I found this description that seems to explain it - "In the middle of all the fun, Andy has taken his vintage Woody-themed lunch box and propped it open with a thermos, turning it into a walk-up window where his toys can grab a bite to eat."

But it's still Andy's lunch box!
I can see I will have to let this go, but technically it's Andy's Woody lunch box. It's the grammarian in me.

I just feel stupid for not thinking of it myself! You're absolutely right, it would be Andy's, Woody-Themed Lunch Box. lol

What do you mean?

The cracks in the ground. If it's supposed to look like that, I don't like it. Haha. Though realistically I wouldn't notice it if I wasn't staring at pictures.

Really is the dumbest complaint, I know.
