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

[MrInfinity]

Hey all!
Here now, back at our hotel after checking out Toy Story Land! It is awesome! We got there an hour early (7am?) and walked right in, the park was already open. At this pre-early hour, TSMM had a 20-min wait, so we did that quick to see the new queue. We had a FP+ for SDD so we got to check out the land. Incredibly themed... everywhere you walk Toy Story music is playing in the background. Toys everywhere! The details are really cool, every board game and card game is represented with a part of the game or the box or even instructions on how to build the structure you're standing under!

We got to ride Slinky... Yay! I thought it was a little faster than the Mine Train, but way cooler. Smooth start right into a launch (no clank up a hill), then it stops you later like you're in a pull-back car. The hills you see in the overhead photos make the ride... and the surprise mid-ride hold!

Aliens was super fun too. It really throws you from side to side... We rode Mater over in California Adventure so I wasn't expecting this to be new but the combination of the futuristic Toy Story music playing and the alien commentary was really cool. I can't even ruin it for you by telling you more.

The SDD line looked awful. They were routing you mid-park over by the Chinese Theater, where the line started. Then there was a break, and we found where that continued back behind Pixar Place, then a 3rd line in TSL where it lines up to go into the ride. All this I think to keep the mass of people in line from having to be in the new land.

Woody's Lunchbox was a great breakfast... With our family I think we tried one of everything on the menu. There was an hour line early on just to get food. Then the online ordering went up, and back down, but we squeaked in a mobile order and got through pretty quick. Overall though they said the line was an hour, we got nearly up to the front waiting it out in about a half-hour. There was surprisingly enough seating to find a table after not too much stalking...

And now, a downpour. The ride is down, but we're back at our hotel. They ran the boats today, which is nice. The Dolphin bridge isn't quite done but they clearned enough of the scaffolding to get the boats through.

Our kids were in love with the view of Star Wars Land from the first hill on SDD...

I thought I saw mention that there were Army Women now too - but I've only seen pictures of Army Men - did I hear wrong?

We were there a few weeks ago. They do not have them any more. We asked at the Disney store, and a cast member told us that we could find them at Once Upon a Toy. So we walked there and they are no longer there. I asked the person working at Once Upon a Toy and he said that they no longer sell it and there is no where else in Disney Springs or on Disney property that he is aware of that sells the build your own Mr. Potato Head. We were disappointed because my 2 year old is OBSESSED with Mr. Potato Head.

Amazon has it. they have everything. lol

New Disney's Hollywood Studios Map

Do they have any plan for that area where grand Ave ends? didn't the car show use to be there? I thought that's what Toy story was taking over but it's more over from that

Grand Avenue is the main entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Like rteetz said it'll be the entrance to Star Wars. Where it stops right now is where Streets of America was. So toward the bottom left of the map is where Lights, Motors, Action used to be. Toy Story is more in the area of where the Backlot Tour was

Oh I guess I got turned around. What is going behind Animation Courtyard then? They closed that area to expand as well. I used to love the drawing classes

that crazy 2 hours wait line just to get into TSL.... did it happen because today is the opening day??
wondering what happened to those who have FP+ for any rides in TSL.. did they have to wait in that 2 hours line to get into TSL?

 

[jimim]

It makes sense to me. Even if it opened on time, you'd still be behind all those people who showed up early. If anything it helps you because all those people who were already there are already starting to go through the line and ride by the time you get there rather than all of you getting in line at the same time.

Disney can't help how early people arrive.

right i know. my whole point was how sooooo many people are getting to rope drop earlier and earlier which is just getting silly. and that

No. If you have FP you can get in at your FP time.

SDD is an hour for FP line

Like MrInfinity we are back at the hotel.
Today was amazing for us. DD didn’t know we were coming to Opening Day. She thought we were heading to Orlando because of my mom’s broken down car (we spend the summers in Tampa). We came in last night.
This morning we were outside of the gates at 4:30am. They let us tap in at 6am and the land was open!! We went straight to SDD. (We got separated- big shout out to Kenny (a CM who was wearing dress clothes) who kept me calm and helped me find my DD.
SDD is very smooth and very fun! Highly recommend. I didn’t care for AS2 as much. Reminded me of a fair ride. Not complaining- just wouldn’t wait too long for it.
Was able to purchase merchandise with little to no wait (and we only bought one of everything- eBay pirates were out in full force- why Disney doesn’t limit the purchases is beyond me)
Had a FP for TSMM. Rode with little to no wait.
We enjoyed the atmosphere but it was getting way too crowded for us. Started to not be able to move easily and I don’t like that feeling.
We headed off to the rest of the park. Rode TT and ate lunch at 50’s Prime Time. Bought a bit more stuff cause when I’m at Disney money just flies out of my wallet. Then the skies opened up and we headed out. I hope to go back tonight. We’ll see!!
