Character updates coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer

A couple of quick updates on some character changes coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer.

First, with the opening of Toy Story Land, expect to see the Green Army Men all become "face characters" - much like Sarge. We understand that back-stage testing is already underway on the new look.

Second, over at 'Walt Disney Presents,' the Star-Lord and Baby Groot meet and greet will be ending late summer. No word yet on what will be replacing it.

Disney is yet to announce either of these changes, so until then, they should be treated as speculation.

The Green Army Men always felt a bit off to me. Not that there's anything wrong with them. But it always bugged me, that the leader is able to speak while the others are faceless. I welcome this change.

Now if they could find a way to update Woody,Buzz and especially Jessie's faces.
I'm curious to see what will take the One Man's Dream meet and greet spot. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the Marvel idea going and put in Black Panther (perhaps with Shuri, as well). That is, of coruse, unless Black Panther would technically be in with the Universal stuff, due to his affiliations with both the Avengers and Fantastic Four.

No BP in WDW.

For some reason I feel like TSL opening may justify a redo on Buzz, Woody and Jessie’s costumes.

With the use of the Pixar Live photo, did you mean to also announce Pixar Live is coming back?

Is this known for sure, or is this just generally accepted speculation? I mean that as a genuine question. Even after all these years, I've never actually read the whole Universal contract, and it's been so long since I've been there that I can't remember which characters are featured (I mostly remember X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom).

No it was just an image I had of the old style Green Army Men.

It is known.

Personally I don't blame you for not wanting to read the Black Panther thread here. Devolved very quickly into keyboard diarrhea. But it's touched upon there.
↩ replying to MisterPenguin
Cool, then I shall never touch upon it again. That debate (which characters can go where) has been done to death, resurrected, and done to death all over again so many times that I felt bad even asking.

I see Jessie's neck shortening surgery was a success, Woody looks like he's very concerned, and Buzz has been smoking something really good.

Lol I needed that. Woody also looks like he's giving someone the bird. And I want some of whatever Buzz is smoking.
Hi I don't post often, but I've heard from someone within the company (not a bus driver) that Star Lord and Groot will head to Epcot at the American Adventure Pavilion next Summer. Anyone else hear that?

Sorta. They'll be a bandstand show and dance party with the GotG and songs from the Awesome Mix Tapes.

Correct, but they will not be doing meet and greets over there.
