Woody's Lunch Box seating area construction - February 2025
Posted: Thursday February 27, 2025 11:!2am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction is moving forward at Woody's Lunch Box in Disney's Hollywood Studios, where an expansion project has been underway since January 2022. The work aims to increase seating capacity and provide more covered dining space for guests.


Recent progress suggests the project may be nearing completion, though Disney has not announced an official reopening date. Newly installed structural elements indicate that more of the previously uncovered outdoor seating area will soon have shade, offering guests better protection from the sun and rain.

Woody's Lunch Box remains open during the work, though seating in the area is limited.

    Your out of date: In 2024, Basic Fun filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.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!
