Woody's Lunchbox Construction Update: Expanded Seating Area Nearing Completion at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Woody's Lunch Box seating area construction - October 23, 2024
Posted: Friday October 25, 2024 10:11am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction continues at Woody's Lunchbox in Disney's Hollywood Studios, where an expansion project to increase seating capacity has been underway since January 2022.


Currently, the entire seating area at this popular quick-service spot is closed to guests as crews work on installing new concrete throughout the space.


While this area is temporarily unavailable, a temporary seating setup has been arranged at the entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, offering tables with umbrellas to provide guests with an alternative during the closure.


Although a completion date hasn't been announced, the recent progress and project restart indicate that reopening may not be too far off.

    Your out of date: In 2024, Basic Fun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company will use bankruptcy proceedings to repay its creditors while remaining in operation. Basic Fun emerged from bankruptcy on November 1, 2024.

    Worse than that, K'nex filed for bankruptcy and they're backlogged. No telling when they'll get those giant K'nex pieces now. Good lord!

    Target has been sold out of giant K’nex recently, hopefully they get some more in stock soon so they can finish it off

    Crazy to think this land is like 10 acres.

    But yet if you go over to All Star Movies you will fully be immersed within Andy's room in small size! The contrast Comparison vs here is wild.

    It's such a badly designed land.

    If they really wanted to go all in on Toy Story they could build a pathway to animation courtyard and use that empty space of nothing. There’s also the employee parking garage just north of SDD and RRB, if relocated could be used for expansion of TSL. Doubt it would ever happen tho

    where would you put the battleship game? The land is kind of landlocked. There is probably just enough room to put in a spinner, but not much else?

    DHS could use a water ride. If we're talking expansion. Is there room for a Battleships boardgame "come to life" attraction. While we're at it, I think it's time for TSM to get an overhaul. Maybe have an area where we venture into Sid's room and it gets weird. OR A Halloween overlay. Damn this land is lame. Even the theme isn't fully realized. Maybe by the time Toy Story 8 hits we'll get a land refresh.

    Now why can't they add the small spinning slinky for the kids and families. This coaster isn't family """friendly"""! It's NUTS!
