Appologies if this has been covered, but this section in the middle that looks like it is covered with scrims, do we know what that is?

Merchandise carts in the land

I have to say those carts are really cute how they fit in the theme

I think that is the stage for today's dedication. I saw that somewhere....

Yep!

 

[dachsie]

less than 10 mins to showtime!

 

[only hope]

Also a PSA: there is very little to NO shade or shelter in TSL. CM's already are having issues dealing with the heat- please please stay hydrated and get out of sun if you feel sick!

Woody, Jessie, and Buzz will be roaming characters inside Toy Story Land!

(I don’t expect that to last long...)

Why would they design a new land without shade in central Florida? Our summer weather is so long (April-October) and June-September is normally 85-95 with 90%+ humidity. I hoped they were making indoor queues for the new rides, a new indoor location for the characters, and planting loads of trees...if it’s Andy’s backyard, trees are appropriate. If regular CM’s are having trouble with the heat, how are costumed characters going to tolerate it?

ah ok, so just something temporary or will it be used for other things on a regular day?

What happens in the planning stages where collectively the designers and approvers all agree that little to no shade is appropriate... it sounds like a tortured Sims neighborhood.

Probably wasn't designed that way, but was cut back to be that way to save money. Like: "Eh, they'll survive."

I can't wait i know there is a lot of negativity with this land but I'm so excited to visit it.

Should be just for today's ceremony.

 

[dachsie]

Well that was cute, if not a little cheesy. I can't wait to go tho.

 

[Gus V.]

Opening ceremony was pretty cool! Waiting game now...October!!!

 

[rteetz]

First page should be updated. I have several new videos of everything including day and night rides.

 

[dachsie]

I just wish they would announce the AP nights in Sept so I can book my HEA dessert party on a different nite

I’m excited for Slinky Dog and trying the food, but the land just seems so sparse. It’s a bunch of grass and then a couple giant toys.

 

[dachsie]

I wish they would do a slinky dog meet and greet like the Cars one. I would so totally do that!

 

[SouloTravlr]

Who thought no shade for the queues was a good idea?!? No way I'm standing in line for those in the blazing sun.

They aren't doing well. Not sure I should say more, but if you see handlers rushing a character backstage please please clear path for them
ETA-most characters have an easy path to backstage or meet right by a backstage area so they can slip away when time's up. Some of these characters don't have that easy access in this land. I wonder if that is why they are "roaming" so they can slip away when needed?

That will be disappointing if there isn't a meet n greet with photopass photographers
