And where else would you find Toy Story Merchandise than as a part of a toy? Themed to a toy dump truck and toy camper, respectively, the locations are as adorable as the merchandise they offer.

Theming Is Everything:
From the moment you step into Toy Story Land, you are surrounded by theming and colors that let you know know that it is indeed time to play. Here the nostalgia feel of the toys you know and love surround you and bring a smile to your face as you revisit all of your childhood favorites.
From Instagram worthy walls including the brightly painted primary-colored block wall to the pastel popsicle stick benches to yes even the bathroom that might replace the Tangled Bathroom at the Magic Kingdom as the best bathroom ever, once again Disney proves that it is the details in the storytelling that make it like no other.
When you first round the bend there’s the welcoming “Howdy” from Sheriff Woody himself. Standing nearly 20 feet tall, Woody is tipping his hat (which measures 7’ feet, brim to brim) and standing next to the marquee which is made out of blocks and a 4-foot-tall yo-yo – just a few of the many toys that make up Toy Story Land.
When you are in the land it is hard to overlook the amazing amount of detail that was put into this expansion from the fences made of toys to the Tinker-Toy light posts, to the scale of the plantings and Andy’s large footprints in the pathways.
And as with Pandora-The World of Avatar, the transformation from daytime to nighttime is something to behold. As the sun goes down, and the lights come on, it’s a whole new experience among the brightly strung overhead Christmas lights that bring with it a magic of another kind.
The beautiful use of the bold reds, yellows, blues, and greens make you feel like a kid again and if you stroll to the back of Toy Story Land, just over the fence you can spy a glimpse of a galaxy far, far away as Galaxy’s Edge peers out over the fence.
Don’t Forget To Get More PLAY:
Now you can make even more of the fun and the magic come to life with the all-new Play Disney Parks mobile app. This funtastic app brings to life unique interactive experiences that enable guests of all ages to access a wide range of activities including themed games, digital achievements, Disney trivia, music and so much more.

Toy Story Land also celebrates what defines entertainment for kids of all ages. Crayola crayons, a Rubik’s Cube, Cooties, and other toys and games pour on the nostalgia for park-goers – and fascinate young ones.
With building blocks around every corner, there are lampposts shaped like Tinkertoys and benches built from Lincoln Logs and K’nex pieces. A balsa-wood glider, a Barrel of Monkeys, giant playing cards and jacks add to the visual tapestry of the new land.
