Toy Story Land: Everything You Need to Know
Toy Story Land, opening June 30, 2018, is the first of two brand new lands coming to Hollywood Studios. The approximately 11 acre addition will include three rides, opportunities for character interactions and a new quick service dining location.
When visiting Toy Story Land, you will “shrink” down to the size of a toy and enter Andy’s backyard. There you will be able to play with some of the creations he has made and interact with some of his other toys.

Rides and Attractions
Slinky Dog Dash (new)
This family friendly roller-coaster type ride has been made by Andy with his Mega Coaster Play Kit. Hop aboard Slinky Dog and take a tour of the backyard!
This ride has a height requirement of 38 inches and will likely be a Tier One FastPass ride. Rider Switch is available.
Alien Swirling Saucers (new)
Climb into a flying saucer of your very own as the Aliens from the Toy Story movies bring you into space. Lucky guests may even be chosen by The Claw!
This spinning ride has a height requirement of 32 inches and will likely be a Tier One FastPass ride. Rider Switch is offered.
Toy Story Mania
Shrink down to the size of a toy and take part in one of Andy’s video games. Some of the characters from Toy Story appear as you shoot at moving targets in this 4D ride. There will be a new entrance through a carnival game box for Toy Story Mania once Toy Story Land opens. This popular ride has had a third track added to accommodate additional guests.
Toy Story Mania ride is for guests of all heights and all ages. It is a Tier One FastPass ride.
New FastPass+ Tiers?
Along with plenty of excitement, the opening of Toy Story Land on June 30 is likely to bring about a change in the tiered system of FastPass+ rides offered at Hollywood Studios. The new tiers will likely be as follows:
Tier 1
- Alien Swirling Saucers (new)
- Slinky Dog Dash (new)
- Toy Story Mania (current Tier 1 attraction)
Tier 2
- Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage (current Tier 1 attraction)
- Disney Junior Live on Stage
- Fantasmic! (current Tier 1 attraction)
- For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
- Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
- Muppet*Vision 3D
- Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (current Tier 1 attraction)
- Star Tours
- Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
- Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Guests are able to reserve a total of three FastPasses per day in one park. In Hollywood Studios, this means you can reserve one FastPass from Tier 1 and two FastPasses from Tier 2 (or 3 FastPasses from Tier 2).
Meet the Characters
While in Andy’s backyard, make sure to meet Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl (and possibly other characters too). It is rumored that they will be walking around Toy Story Land interacting with guests.

What part of Toy Story Land are you most looking forward to experiencing?
Was really looking forward to Woody’s Lunchbox. Hollywood Studios has the worst dining selections of all the parks, so we’ll usually leave it to eat someplace else. But, alas, this one will also be one of those not-worth-it quick service restaurants. It’s such a shame they didn’t put the thought and effort into the dining as they did to the rest of Toy Story Land.
Peg, Woody’s Lunchbox seems geared toward those who enjoy sandwiches. They’re not my favorite either. There are so many great restaurants in Epcot though!
I was hoping they would bring back pizza planet. I’m disappointed. Was also hoping Mr potatohead kiosk would return ?
Pizza planet would be awesome!
We saw them building this when we were there! It’s really exciting that it’s opening!
Lyndsey, we saw it too! My youngest keeps asking when we can go ride the Slinky roller coaster. 🙂
Everytime I see one of these releases I get excited like a kid. Look forward to the entertainment
I honestly cannot wait to go here with my daughter. I want to go more than her!
Samantha, I think I feel the same way! 🙂
My son loves the Toy Story movies! This looks so cool! He would love it.
Lisa, my son does too. He has seen pictures of the Slinky roller coaster and keeps asking to go!
I’m an annual passholder and I can’t wait for this! I didn’t realize they were changing the tier system so that is good to know. Andy’s lunchbox sounds adorable and the food sounds delicious!
Theresa, I agree. I am super excited!!
