The new Toy Story Land at Walt Disney World Resort, inspired by Pixar Animation Studios’ Toy Story films, allows guests of all ages (even this forty-something mom!) to be “honorary toys” and immerse ourselves in the whimsical world of a child’s imagination. Sounds like even something my 11 year “tweenager” would like!
5 Reasons I’m Crazy Excited to Go to the Toy Story Land Opening
1. Toy Story Land Opening means the toys come to life!
2. I’ll get to ride the new rides at the Toy Story Land opening.
Toy Story Land includes two all-new attractions and a new entrance for an enduring favorite. We will hop on Slinky Dog Dash for a family-friendly roller coaster ride, take a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers and go for the high score playing midway games on Toy Story Mania! (I’m totally winning this time!)3. The Toy Story Land opening means new food options!
Yum! When it’s time for on-the-go refreshments, Woody’s Lunch Box serves tasty meals and old-fashioned soda floats from a walk-up window in a setting surrounded by Andy’s favorite toys and a giant vintage thermos. I have got to try the grilled three-cheese sandwich and sit at a Tinkertoy table. Maybe I’ll even spot Sarge, the Green Army Men leader, in a tower on the lookout for Andy. Woody’s Lunch Box features Mini Babybel cheese – the Official Snack Cheese of Walt Disney World Resort – and one of my most favorite travel snacks!4. I get to have a Character Couture adult Princess makeover.
Walt Disney World salons have been making little girls feel like princesses for decades in their Bibidi Bobidi Salon. And now adults can get in on the action too! Several Disney salons now offer “Character Couture Packages”. And I get to try one! Disney stylists will transform my hair, makeup and nails into designs inspired by a Disney character! I don’t know which one! Thoughts?
They offer three packages: Storybook Style (includes hair), Magical Makeover (includes hair and makeup) and Timeless Transformation (includes hair, makeup and nails). Character Couture makeovers are currently offered at Ivy Trellis Salon at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa; La Vida Health Club at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort; Ship Shape Massage Salon Fitness at Disney’s Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts; and Salon by the Springs at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Character Couture makeovers can be done for children (ages 4 to 14) as well as adults (15+). The cost starts at a surprisingly reasonable $50. This is open to all Disney Word guests and can be booked by calling 407-939-7727.
