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.

A Slinky Dog spinner for families and small children who would never board Slinky Dog Dash.

triceratops spinner moved/rethemed? honestly I think they should (and this will never happen and shouldnt at least until many other things are added) gut the 3rd track half of the TSMM building, retheme it to Andy Toybox with new entrance on southern half of building and create a massive indoor area with places to explore and run around in kinda like little mermaid land in Tokyo DL. Maybe add a small attraction, and relocate gift shop for TSMM right after exit that then exits into toybox Also use it as a new entrance/exit to the land accessed by Pixar Alley

If they got rid of the Muppets balloons for Galaxy's Edge sightlines, they probably wouldn't build parachute drop. That is a really tall structure and dominates the WDS skyline

Yknow there’s a very dirty joke I could make here

Not at all related to the "rumor" above, but couldn't they maybe fit the toy soldier parachute drop?

If they were actually going to add a ride to Toy Story Land where would it even go? There's really nowhere to expand without doing some major construction/demolition, unless I'm missing something. Unless we're talking Triceratops Spin (or something else equally small). I think even that would be kind of difficult because of how badly the land is designed, but they could probably shoehorn a spinner in there somewhere.

Is this a M&G that costs a quarter of a billion dollars and we can ride it?

I can confirm that they’re adding a new attraction to TSL.

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 Pizzerizzo 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.
