DISNEY’S TOY STORY LAND
One of the most anticipated openings for 2018 is Toy Story Land, expected to open early next summer at Walt Disney World Resort’s Hollywood Studios just outside Orlando, Florida.
Attractions and restaurants in the 11-acre (4.5-hectare) land will be themed on toys from the “Toy Story” movie series, like the Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster and Woody’s Lunch Box, a quick-service window serving soda floats and more. Another ride will be Alien Swirling Saucers, where aliens circling in flying saucers pull along rocket ships full of guests. An existing attraction, Toy Story Mania, will get a third track.
