With Toy Story Land set to open June 30th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — which includes a new entrance or Toy Story Mania — many have wondered what would become of the current Pixar Place area of the park. Today, Disney confirmed that the area will indeed be closing once Toy Story Land arrives.
- When Toy Story Land opens, there will be a new entrance for Toy Story Mania.
- As a result, the walkway that is now Pixar Place will not be needed for entry into Toy Story Mania. That said, Guests may be able to walk through it from time to time.
- With the new entrance, fans can also look forward to the return of Mr. Potato Head.
Meanwhile…

- New items include apparel, accessories, headwear, and of course toys.
- Some of the new toys available include miniature versions of the Alien Swirling Saucer ride vehicles.
- Another surefire hit is the launching Slinky Dog Dash playset.
- Naturally, merchandise specific to the grand opening of the new land will also be available.
