Earlier this month, I was on vacation at Walt Disney World, and while Toy Story Land is always my first stop whenever we visit the parks, this trip there was a new place to explore – a playground in Future World at Epcot, themed to Toy Story 4!

Tim Allen Talks About ‘Toy Story 4’, Animation, and Toy Story Land
I’m really thankful for Tim Allen’s round of interviews right now, leading up to the new-network premiere of his sitcom Last Man Standing. Today another one surfaced – this time from radio station Majic 95.5 – where he shared probably the most Toy Story 4 information we’ve gotten in quite some time.
ABC Programs Share a Toy Story Land Sneak Peek
I’m honestly a little overwhelmed with all the news that has come out about Toy Story Land over the past 24 hours – but I’m not complaining! Yesterday, the ABC network featured previews of the land all throughout their programming, showing videos of rides, merchandise, food, and more! Here’s a recap of everything that was revealed…

Toy Story Land: Opening Date Announced, New Concept Art
This morning, on Good Morning America, Woody, Buzz, and Jessie were on hand to announce that Toy Story Land will open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on June 30, 2018!
Toy Story Land Construction Update
It’s been quite some time since I’ve shared an update on Toy Story Land’s construction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, but that’s not because of a lack of progress. Progress has actually been quite steady, and the constant influx of aerial photos online have been difficult to choose from! But with the land’s opening less than six months away now, let’s take a look at the current state of things in Walt Disney World…
D23 Expo 2017 Recap: Toy Story 4, Toy Story Land and Beyond!
It’s been nearly five months since the D23 Expo back in July, and I’ve been working on this post here and there since then, trying to collect my thoughts and photos from our experience – there was a lot about the event to process, and I’ve been rather overwhelmed with the thought of summarizing it all. However, with the recent controversy over John Lasseter’s allegations of misconduct, my recollections are now rather bittersweet. I’m thankful, though, that we attended the Expo while the magic was still unsullied for us. And since I refuse to let anyone destroy my love for Pixar or the toys – I will continue to view the studios as the sum of all the talented people who work there, not as one sole person – I’d like to look back, and share what we saw and learned at the Expo in regards to Pixar, and Toy Story specifically.
Toy Story at WDW: New Shows and New Construction
Despite the disappointment of Jessie still being absent from meet and greets at Walt Disney World, there’s been a lot of exciting news lately relating to the Toy Story franchise in the parks! Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen two new shows debut that give the characters a greater presence in entertainment offerings, and the construction for Toy Story Land is really starting to kick into gear…
Jessie Snubbed Again in Magic Kingdom Character Switch
For the past eight months, I’ve been putting up quite a fight for Jessie, whose meet and greet in the Magic Kingdom fell victim to apparent budget cuts last September. Besides a steady stream of social media posts, countless emails have been sent to Walt Disney World, by both myself and other fans; conversations have been shared via phone and in-person; and a petition and Facebook page have even been created, all in an attempt to get Jessie’s presence reinstated in the Disney Parks. But sadly, once again, another character change-up has only lengthened Jessie’s absence.
