Picture
Andy’s backyard is getting ready for more toys! Roundup Rodeo BBQ will open in Spring 2023 to welcome guests for delicious barbecue and toy-sized fun. The world’s first “Toy Story” table service restaurant is coming to Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. 

Andy has used his imagination, Woody’s Roundup toys, and other playthings and built a rodeo restaurant for all his pals. Guests will enjoy barbecue-inspired comfort foods served family-style, with platters of house-smoked meats, a roundup of sides and some miniature sweet surprises along the way.
Picture
In this wild, western setting, guests can find a steam train supported by colored pencils, a suspiciously impressive house of cards, and game boards featuring beloved characters from the “Toy Story” films. To fill the stands of his rodeo arena, Andy has decorated the cardboard box with hand-drawn audience members! The dining room also features the rodeo’s star performers: Jessie, Trixie, and Bo Peep with her leapin’ sheep Billy, Goat, and Gruff!

Stay tuned for more details and an offical opening date!

More of a good thing is always a great thing. And more Disney magic just might be the best thing of all. That’s exactly what you get at a Disney After Hours event during the Walt Disney World® 50th Anniversary celebration. You get three hours––after hours––in Magic Kingdom® Park or Disney’s Hollywood Studios® on select nights. That’s more time for riding popular attractions, enjoying incredible experiences and beyond. And more time for making the absolute most out of your Walt Disney World experience.

Of course, sometimes less is also more. So, you get that too. Low wait times, that is. So, pick your Park. Pick your night. And dive into the excitement that awaits after the gates close.

Throughout Magic Kingdom Park, you can experience more than 20 amazing attractions and experiences including Space Mountain®, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Jungle Cruise.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, jump into adventure on attractions in Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge®, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway and more.

Of course, that’s all just for starters. To make these already awesome evenings even better, your event ticket also includes complimentary ice cream treats, popcorn and select beverages (available during event hours only).

Theme Park closing times vary. Admission to this event requires a separately priced ticket valid only during specific event dates and hours. Attractions and offerings subject to change without notice. Complimentary treats and select beverages available during event hours only.

‘Fantasmic!’ Returning November 3

10/19/2022

1 Comment

“Welcome to Fantasmic! ...” We are so excited to announce that “Fantasmic!” returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 3rd!  Back and better than ever, the larger-than-life, open-air nighttime musical will have live performers, stunning effects, rousing music and dazzling pyrotechnics and a brand-new show sequence!

“Through this entire sequence, we go on a journey with our heroes. We see them faced with a decision, and how hard that can be for them, then watch as they find that strength within themselves to push through in a truly spectacular way,” says Disney Live Entertainment Show Director, Matthew Hamel.

And spectacular it is. The new heroes sequence features a high-energy Aladdin chase with stunts never before seen on the “Fantasmic!” stage, a powerful scene with Elsa set to the song  “Show Yourself” that is sure to thaw the most frozen of hearts, and stirring moments with Pocahontas, Moana and Mulan. Fun fact: To help choreograph the authentic Chinese martial arts you’ll see in Mulan’s scene, the creative team brought in Mimi Chan – the original muse and model animators used when bringing the character of Mulan to life for the 1998 animated film.

“We know this show means so much to people, and we’ve kept that in mind every step of this journey.” says Disney Live Entertainment Producer, Laurice Marier. “Even beyond the new scene, we’ve taken this time to upgrade the lasers, the lighting, the sound, all to bring this show back even more beautiful than it’s ever been. We’re all really just so excited for guests to see it.”

So, will the powers of Mickey's incredible imagination still be strong enough, and bright enough, to withstand the evil forces that invade Mickey's dreams? You are about to find out!

Make it a dinner and a show!  Dining packages for select restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be available for Fantasmic! Dining Package performances November 30th and beyond.
