With the opening of Toy Story Land, Pixar Place at Disney's Hollywood Studios is now closed-off to guests.

During the opening week of Toy Story Land, Pixar Place was being used as overflow queue space, but with crowds in Toy Story Land now stabilized, the construction walls have moved in. Only the restrooms on the corner of Pixar Place remain accessible to guests.

Pixar Place held overflow queues during Toy Story Land opening weekend

Pixar Place opened alongside Toy Story Mania back in 2008, and also featured Hey Howdy Hey! Takeaway (Snacks), Woody's Picture Shootin Corral (Meet and Greet), and a gift shop.

Although Disney has not commented on the future of Pixar Place, it is expected that it will become backstage space and not a guest area.

So we are back to where we started... this project has got to go down in WDW history as one of the longest for such a small return.

Yeah I know, but it was still called Pizza Planet with the logo. And it served pizza (I think the exact same pizza that it still serves now).

In name only, nothing about the theme was pizza planet.

Pizzerizzo used to be Pizza Planet.

I was really hoping for Pizza Planet, especially if Pizzerizzo closes.

Disney really hasn’t cut budgets after a project starts in a long time. Program gets cut to help cover costs elsewhere.

More proof that its probably cost them more money going back and adding this expanded seating with shade than cutting it from the budget when building the original land.

Any timeline on when this is supposed to be done?

Those big holes feel like new footings for *fingers crossed* some new type of canopy structure? But we'll just have to wait and see

I thought this seating expansion was being worked on like a year ago..... Looks like we were posting about it in February of 2023.....And People think that Carsland and Tropical Americas are going to be opening in 2025? lol

Roundup Rodeo Barbeque is the sit-down restaurant and it's open. This is for Woody's Lunchbox, the land's quick service, which has way too few places to sit so they're adding some. Which is a good thing, but they announced it and put up the walls to start almost three years ago.

I guess I’m confused why they felt the need to rip everything up if all they’re going to do is install a canopy… they are installing a canopy, right??
