The brand new eating spot in Toy Tale Land at Hollywood Studios, recognized merely as “Popcorn & Snacks,” is now open after months at the back of building partitions. This stocks the most recent in this much-needed addition to the eating place roster, the Pizza Planet-inspired dish, and our statement.
Popcorn & Snacks is positioned at the back of the restrooms, throughout from Alien Swirling Saucers and en path to Big name Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, striking it at the some distance aspect of the land. The brand new snack stand will open day-to-day at 10 am, with its signature Pizza Planet Spring Roll served beginning at 10:30 am.
The kiosk joins a eating lineup in Toy Tale Land that already is composed of Roundup Rodeo BBQ, a family-style all-you-can-eat desk carrier eating place (no longer a personality meal) and Woody’s Lunch Field, which is a walk-up counter carrier window with an undersized seating house (additionally no longer a personality meal).
The brand new Popcorn & Snacks snack stand serves up snacks (were given that?) of the ready and pre-packaged selection, highlighted through the Pizza Planet Spring Roll.
There’s additionally an expansive alcoholic beverage menu, which is each sudden for the reason that that is Toy Tale Land, but additionally unsurprising for someone who has ever had the excitement of experiencing Toy Tale Land on a scorching summer season day. Anyway, let’s dig into the menu at Popcorn & Snacks–beginning with the ‘announcement’ video from Disney:

- Pizza Planet Spring Rolls (2) – $9.49
- Churro with Chocolate Sauce – $7.49
- Popcorn in Memento Bucket – $14.29

The Pizza Planet Spring Rolls are a artful and engaging concept. They’re such an evident selection for Toy Tale Land, a lot in the similar means that Pizza Planet as a fully-fledged eating place would’ve been an evident have compatibility.
I’m nonetheless no longer rather certain why Walt Disney Global felt visitors obligatory much more mediocre BBQ after we may just’ve had mediocre pizza, however that is however a pleasant comfort prize. I look ahead to making an attempt them, and hope they’re as addictively-delicious because the spring rolls at Magic Kingdom!
If those are well-liked sufficient, possibly Pizza Planet would be the subsequent section of growth from 2028 to 2031, as soon as the opposite seating house initiatives are finished (estimated date: mid-2028). I’m certain the Pizza Planet Spring Rolls might be an enormous hit with visitors (even at $9.50 for two!), particularly in the event that they’re as excellent because the choices in Adventureland.
Differently, no longer a complete lot to mention about Popcorn & Snacks. The menu is somewhat bizarre, and not using a actual surprises. My hope were that it might have a bigger menu, with the theory of selecting up one of the most slack from the overstressed Woody’s Lunch Field. However I doubt that’ll occur with out a few extra considerable savory snacks; that is obviously a snack spot and no longer a complete meal choice. Which is ok! However Toy Tale Land nonetheless wishes extra.
It additionally seems like a overlooked alternative to not import the Little Inexperienced Dumplings Alien Mochi from Tokyo Disney Hotel. The ones are a large hit, and can be insanely well-liked at Walt Disney Global. Even if…possibly a bit too well-liked for Toy Tale Land? (I’m no longer even kidding–possibly bringing the ones to the brand new AstroFizz in Tomorrowland as soon as Buzz Lightyear’s House Ranger Spin reopens is the more secure/smarter play.)
If there’s something Walt Disney undoubtedly didn’t say, it’s that “Toy Tale Land won’t ever be entire.”
However possibly he will have to’ve. The land has been beneath reputedly perpetual building because it opened again in 2018. First there used to be the aforementioned Roundup Rodeo BBQ, which used to be added after the truth as soon as a pencil pusher made the most obvious realization that Toy Tale Land can be well-liked and possibly it obligatory greater than two money registers for meals. That gigantic field eating place with cardboard cutouts within took like 4 years to construct, despite the fact that in equity, the COVID closure performed a job.
Then there used to be the expanded seating house out of doors Woody’s Lunch Field, which added some everlasting coloration buildings and possibly a dozen or so seats to the counter carrier eating place over a span of three+ years. That would possibly sound like a shaggy dog story; it’s not a shaggy dog story. Additionally they added a present store to the go out house at Toy Tale Mania pre-COVID; that one used to be in fact achieved successfully.
Relatively talking, Popcorn & Snacks has been constructed with Common-esque velocity!
The snack stand undertaking commenced final summer season, and used to be entirely put in in mere months, no longer years. After we visited round Christmas, it seemed like the the positioning used to be able to open any day, and for sure would debut prior to the New 12 months’s Eve rush.
As an alternative, it debuts sooner or later after the height crowds have all ended. Can’t win ’em all! The silver lining, although, is that it does debut prior to Walt Disney Global Marathon Weekend, so possibly runners will be capable to take hold of a Spring Roll whilst operating in the course of the land?! (Notice: I don’t have any clue whether or not the path is going in the course of the land.)
Along with Popcorn & Snacks, Walt Disney Global could also be including an overflow seating house between Big name Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Tale Land, which might lend a hand with seating–a significant shortcoming with Woody’s Lunch Field.
Sadly, it additionally seems that this house is small, and nonetheless gained’t be offering sufficient capability to satisfy visitor call for. Nonetheless, it’s a excellent get started and it’s great to look Walt Disney Global proceeding to deal with the land’s faults and take a look at to lend a hand higher meet visitor call for. (Extra coloration subsequent, please!)
Toy Tale Land is a amusing position and visitors find it irresistible. This weblog has traditionally been extra important of the land, which is in large part because of squandered possible. The unique thought artwork (above) used to be extra bold (notice the principle front), however even that wouldn’t have lived as much as the entire possible of a land according to Toy Tale.
I’m no longer suggesting that Toy Tale Land will have to’ve had the cheap on par with Big name Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, because it used to be all the time supposed to be the less expensive capacity-add counterpart to that.
On the similar time, spending extra at the entrance finish–and construction extra eating places, retail, coloration and play areas–turns out like any such no-brainer that will’ve price much less over the years than the entire sluggish, piecemeal fixes they’ve made within the years since. I will’t lend a hand however surprise how a lot has been wasted through doing such a lot after-the-fact building.
Following the blueprint of the now defunct “a worm’s land” (or different Toy Tale Lands) and construction a pair extra flat rides would’ve been sensible for the reason that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is heavy on rides for adults, however mild on kid-friendly sights. And it sort of feels evident to recycle ideas like Pizza Planet and ‘Honey, I Gotten smaller the Children’ Film Set Journey that already existed in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Toy Tale Land is any such nice thought for a land, and it will have to be some of the absolute best in all of Walt Disney Global. I’d love for it to be a spot the place we need to linger and spend time enjoying, particularly as our daughter has grow to be an enormous Toy Tale fan.
In truth, it’s some of the least delightful lands in all of Walt Disney Global, and there’s a explanation why we both suggest getting out and in throughout Early Access, or saving Toy Tale Land till the very finish of the night time. (For extra airing of grievances about Toy Tale Land, see Walt Disney Global’s Extremely-Hyped Eating place We Don’t Love.) In its protection, Toy Tale Land is a smart land at evening–the glow of the lighting fixtures truly makes the cool animated film colours pop much more!
