Disney has today announced that Toy Story Land's new table service restaurant will open at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Spring 2023.

In a post on the official Disney Parks Blog, Imagineer Ben van Beusekom said, "In this wild, western setting, you 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!"

Ben continued, "What we are really excited about with bringing these toys, games, and sets to the park is the collaboration with our pals at Disney Pixar Animation Studios to design figures unique to this restaurant and artwork that can only be found at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Imagineers worked closely with animators and designers at the renowned animation studio to bring characters and art from the films to life in new ways unique to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They even designed full comic strips about Woody’s adventures, which Andy has used as part of the dining room ceiling!"

Disney announced back in January 2022 that the new table service restaurant would open in 2022 following a long delay due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Roundup Rodeo BBQ was announced initially in 2019, with an opening set for 2020.

Just not complete unless John Ratzenberger is your waiter...

It actually gets turned into fuel for the Disney busses.

Is that a problem? There’s no shortages of food.

I have to admit, the overhead PA system stuff was clever especially when "Andy's coming"? Everyone - servers and guests - all pause. It's actually fun.

Well the non-teachers might appreciate having a big, over-themed room. Or not. While you shouldn't eat glue, I would suggest the adults drink the PB&J.

The atmosphere is a bit disappointing. It looks like my old kindergarten room... which isn't a good thing. I've got some bad memories from that place. Did you know you're not supposed to eat a whole supersized jar of elmers paste?

When I say a lot, I mean A LOT.

How nice they throw away wasted food they don't need to give you in the first place. 🙄

I suspect you'll still get more food than you can eat. It's a LOT.

As vegetarians, we are definitely looking forward to trying the vegetarian offerings. Looks like they have a lot and the reviews have been pretty good.

I enjoyed the food but we agreed we wouldn’t spend over $200 to eat there again. You can find better BBQ elsewhere at WDW. Sides were good, though, and we liked the theming in there. It was a fun time. You definitely don’t leave hungry.

So here is my quick review. I went solo and the amount of food you get is the same whether a party of one or a party of five. They assure me they compost what isn't eaten. Anyway, here is what you get (drinks are separate): A minimum of three biscuits Three separate salads A skillet of chicken, brisket, ribs, and sausage Your choice of 4 of 6 or 7 sides, each in a large bowl. I chose corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. Your choice of up to 4 or 5 small cups of dessert. I choose cheesecake, apple pie, and tort, similar to mousse. For a party of two, why pay $90? $45 is plenty for two or even more. You can't, BTW. The cost is per person. Food is great but too much for one person. You've been warned.
