Toy Story Land’s New Snack Kiosk Nearly Ready to Pop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Toy Story Land is about to get a whole lot more poppin’, because the land’s brand-new snack kiosk is looking just about ready to roll out the buttery goodness. A fresh aerial photo from @bioreconstruct shows the adorable popcorn-box–themed stand taking shape, and it looks like Woody and Buzz are almost ready to serve up some snacks that are sure to be out of this world… or at least out of Andy’s kitchen.

From up above, the kiosk structure appears nearly complete, with just a bit of paving and landscaping left before it can welcome hungry toys of all sizes. The kiosk’s vibrant popcorn-box design fits perfectly into the playful chaos of Toy Story Land, and while Disney hasn’t confirmed the menu, all signs — and the theming — point straight to popcorn. Possibly special popcorn. Possibly very special popcorn. A toy can dream.

We’ve been tracking its progress from the ground, and now with the exterior essentially wrapped up, the finishing touches are all that remain before this snack stop officially joins the land’s lineup. Between the kiosk, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and Woody’s Lunch Box, Toy Story Land is quickly becoming the go-to spot for hungry space rangers, cowpokes, and plastic potato enthusiasts.

Are you ready for a fresh new snack stop in Andy’s backyard? We sure are, because nothing says this land is about to be poppin’ like an oversized popcorn box waiting to be filled.

Disney Greenlights Two New Imagineering Office Buildings Near Magic Kingdom as Expansion Plans Rev Up

Magic Kingdom is gearing up for its biggest glow-up in decades, and now we know exactly where some of that creative magic will be brewing. Disney just received official approval from the South Florida Water Management District for a major 12.5-acre expansion project at the old STOLport site off World Drive, paving the way for two brand-new Walt Disney Imagineering office buildings.

The project, charmingly codenamed “Project K,” transforms a slice of the former Walt Disney World Airport into a permanent creative hub for the teams shaping the future of the resort. The permit, filed in August and approved on November 24, gives Disney five years to complete everything from the new buildings to fresh sidewalks, parking, and utility infrastructure. Even the nearby ponds are getting a makeover as one is converted into a dry detention pond and the other into a wet detention pond to support the new development.

This is a big step forward for the Magic Kingdom expansion, especially with a Cars-themed area and the highly anticipated Disney Villains land both in the works behind the park. The STOLport location has long hosted temporary Imagineering trailers, but the new buildings signal a more permanent home base as Disney leans hard into the decade of expansion across the entire resort.

Construction Rolls Ahead at Former Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser as Site Transforms into New Imagineering Hub

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, the Halcyon was hosting lightsaber training sessions and high-stakes heists. Today, the former Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser site is buzzing once again, but this time with a very different kind of mission. The once-immersive hotel is now deep into its next phase of existence as Walt Disney Imagineering moves in to create a brand-new operations base right on Walt Disney World property.

Aerial legend @bioreconstruct captured sweeping new photos showing semi trucks, dumpsters, construction materials, and plenty of equipment filling the footprint once occupied by the Starcruiser’s arrival terminal and guest rooms. Those dumpsters are especially telling. Visible inside are sinks, toilets, and interior fixtures, confirming that crews are actively clearing out rooms as they prepare the space for its Imagineering makeover. It’s less “prepare to make the jump to lightspeed” and more “prepare to make the jump to office space,” but for Imagineers, that’s arguably just as thrilling.

Disney revealed earlier this year that the building would be repurposed to support some of the biggest projects happening across the resort. With Tropical Americas rising at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a Cars expansion and full Disney Villains land racing toward Magic Kingdom, and the Monsters, Inc. land reshaping Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Imagineering is busier than a droid working overtime. Bringing more of the team back on property shortens turnaround time, strengthens collaboration, and gets those blue-sky dreams built faster.

While fans still debate the closure of the ambitious two-night Starcruiser experience, one thing is clear from these photos: the site’s next chapter is already well underway, and it’s all hands on deck as Imagineering reshapes this corner of Walt Disney World into a creative launchpad for the resort’s massive transformation.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Pre-Show Quietly Covered as Early Muppet Madness Rolls In

It looks like G-Force Records has gone from “Walk This Way” to “Wocka Wocka” overnight, because the entire Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster pre-show has suddenly been blocked from view, and the change is giving some major Electric Mayhem energy. Guests walking into the attraction today found fresh G-Force Records screens sealing off the recording studio windows, and instead of the classic Aerosmith invitation to their concert, everyone is being walked straight through the hallway and right into load. No banter from Steven Tyler, no backstage studio antics, just a straight shot to your super-stretch limo.

Disney hasn’t said a peep about the shift, but the setup feels a little too polished to be standard downtime. These panels are clearly designed to hide whatever is happening inside, and with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets debuting in Summer 2026, it sure looks like Imagineering has popped the earbuds in and started tuning up the space for Scooter, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of the Electric Mayhem. The pre-show was always expected to be one of the most heavily reworked areas, so beginning interior work now lets the coaster keep running while the mayhem quietly builds behind the scenes.

When the Muppets officially take over, guests will race through Hollywood with the Electric Mayhem as they scramble to make their biggest show yet. Inside the newly Muppet-managed G-Force Records, Scooter will attempt to wrangle the band while a crew of penguin audio engineers handles the gear, and yes, this will mark the debut of Scooter as an honest-to-goodness Audio-Animatronics figure. Outside, the big red guitar gets a groovy psychedelic makeover that leans into the band’s classic flair, complete with a golden piano key nod to Dr. Teeth. The track stays the same, but everything else gets turned up to eleven with that signature Muppet chaos.

For now, you can still rock out with Aerosmith through the end of 2025, even if the show intro has officially left the building. And with a fully covered studio popping up without warning, this little tweak might be our first backstage pass to the transformation already underway. The mayhem is warming up, and the countdown to 2026 just got a whole lot louder.
