Disney confirmed with us that the Pixar Place area will stay open for some time, but will eventually permanently close since the entrance and exit to Midway Mania are now in Toy Story Land.

The coaster was quite a bit better than any of the concept art or aerial photos made it out to be.

Toy Story Mania

Let me tell you straight out that this ride hasn’t changed. It’s the same attracton and queue. The difference here is that the entry to the queue is now from Toy Story Land instead of Pixar Place.

We’ve only been in this new land for a few hours, but there are some definite takeaways. Families are going to go crazy for this. The colors, characters, and attractions all scream family and are quite the departure from the current theme of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Slinky Dog Dash is a ton of fun, and I would say that it is even better than the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Alien Swirling Saucers is very family accessible, and more than likely won’t make anyone sick. Toy Story Midway Mania fits much better here than it did in Pixar Place. However, there is a lot of concrete in this land and not a lot of shade, so it does get very hot. The queues are all covered outdoor queues with no AC, so be prepared to drink lots of fluids and find AC in other areas of the park when you can.

Will you be visiting Hollywood Studios soon to see this new land? Do you like what you see? Please let us know in the comments below. Thanks for reading!
