A new seating area has opened at the border of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios, addressing a long-standing shortage of guest seating in that section of the park.

The space has been under construction for several months and sits between the two themed lands. It provides much-needed rest areas for guests visiting Toy Story Land, which has historically lacked sufficient seating options.

A service dog relief area

This addition comes just after Disney opened a new popcorn kiosk in Toy Story Land and completed expanded seating at Woody's Lunchbox.

You can find the new seating area at the transition point between Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land. The location makes it convenient for guests moving between the two lands or looking for a break during their visit.

I think 30min is a sweet spot for a high quality park show

They have it on the cruise that's 45 minutes ish. Do think they could use some of the DCL shows, but they'd have to make them shorter for the WDW crowds (purely based on what they did to shrink Nemo down in time)

I have no idea why they haven’t done a tangled show yet. 90% of the cast is human, the magic of the story is easily replicated in the real world, and it has action (sword fights) and romance which should appeal to everyone. Seems pretty easy to make it 30 min with the tower scene of Gothel saying goodbye, Flynn showing up, Ugly Duckling/escape, At Last I See the Light, finale in the tower.

I honestly wouldn’t be upset if a frozen show replaced beauty and the beast, and then they put something fresh and new where the frozen sing-along was. I know a lot of us here feel like frozen gets oversaturated, but there’s still no denying. It’s an insanely popular IP for the company and they should embrace the stuff that’s a big hit when they can.

Please retire that B&TB show already! Time for something new and fresh...or even something from Disneyland...they have had great shows over the years...perhaps they could start with one of their old shows....which would be new to us... THe Snow White: An Enchanting Musical, was a beautiful show ... Mickey and the Magical Map was also great.... Anything but that tired old B&TB...

This would be an easy addition to the park. They should plan for new Toy Story games and a replacement show for B&tB when Monsters Inc opens. Add the new animation courtyard, Muppet RnRC, and villains show and the park would feel fresher….

I wish but it gets consistent and long waits throughout the year

It’s inexplicable that they don’t already have various overlays. It’s begging for Halloween and Christmas games.

After Buzz comes back at MK, time for a Mania update/refurb?

Yeah the setup of the stage and viewing location is very… “curious”, to say the least. VERY poorly planned to be more direct.

The lack of shade issue in this land is pretty apparent, and the shade structures under construction for 3 years and finally opened at Woody's don't do a whole lot to help (they don't even cover the whole area!). They need to either make it an enclosed climate controlled QS, or put more abundant shade and trees. The land is unbearable 80% of the year. It is clear the designers have no clue about the climate in Orlando. This is also evident with the new Epcot areas that have low amounts of shade. No one will stand in the baking sun with no shade on astroturf to watch a concert. Read the room. Add shade. They did finally put some on the cornhole and seating area, my guess being because probably no one was using it.
