Not a fan of the movie but a huge fan of the land.

Agreed.

FOP 65 min wait at 6 yesterday, went after FP and still worth the wait, esp with beer in hand.

Not sure but I have got to think they will seat more than 2 people.

If you're supposed to be Mickey and Minnie in the two-seater car, it could make sense.

I don't believe you are supposed to be Mickey and Minnie but rather in their short.

I think toy story land is gonna be a huge hit...just a hunch.

But I thought the design of Disney springs was gonna be awesome too...and it's definitely "not awesome"

Yeah, that was an over-simplification by me. But it looks like they're modelling his car in the picture, which only has two seats.

But in the end, that doesn't mean anything. They could turn his 2-seater car into a 4-seater. The actual Slinky-Dog has zero seats, but the coaster train has several!

I just want to point out that these are Mystery Minis. Not Pop Vinyls.

I don't like Easy (or Sleezy for that matter) but I do like Sneezy and Dopey!

Disney Chinese stuff isn't sleazy, huh?

Is there any information on when Hall of Presidents will reopen?

At this rate...my guess is 11/04/20

Nothing new, just watched Muppets though, parades on the way.

Not to my 18 month old grandtinker. You can let it bother you if you want, but she will have no problem with it.

A hit? Yes, it probably will be. Toy Story has always been very popular.

But uninspired is what I would call it.

What are we getting, the slinky coaster (I don't even want to hear about the cars doing some slinky maneuver, whatever that would be. I got myself all excited for SDMT swinging cars and they don't even really swing). An alien based spinner ride and a counter service restaurant? I might have missed something.

I would have loved a dark ride here.

I am very disappointed with Disney's lack of imagination for the Toy Story land.

So I can disregard the amazon quip then?

Got it...

(Yes...I think you're psyching yourself up for your 75th trip with merchandise...but I'm not judging...just pointing out)

Hey...I don't disagree with you at all...

But it is what it is: which is emergency (3 year...jeez) constructed filler to offset Star Wars...

...Chester and Hester with a bit more thought.

But I think they'll exceed expectations for what it is.
