Construction of Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land

Some construction news for Toy Story Land!

Guests can now see the future location of Roundup Rodeo BBQ behind construction walls. Disney cleared some of the landscaping space behind Woody when you first enter the land. The upcoming table service restaurant is set to open in Toy Story Land sometime later in 2020.

When Toy Story Land first opened June 2018, guests quickly commented on the absence of sit-down dining options in the new land. However, Disney Parks did listen to what so many requested. With a wide mix of fan-favorite toy characters, we are finally seeing a table service option come to Toy Story Land.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ will offer a menu filled with American-style cuisine. The immersive theme of the restaurant is that you will be dining inside a Western-town play area built by Andy. It’ll include a colorful rodeo arena built out of Andy’s favorite toys and games. Even though the restaurant is western-themed, you can expect to see other types of toys.

The building for the restaurant is now more visible to guests as well. Exterior details will be added to decorate the Pixar-themed restaurant as construction continues. We’ll keep you updated when new details emerge for Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

Are any of you excited to try the upcoming Roundup Rodeo BBQ when it opens later this year?

The Muppet Fountain is Missing From Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The cartoonish Muppet fountain outside of MuppetVision 3D in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been removed. Some makeshift shrubbery has taken its place.

We aren’t sure exactly why the fountain is missing but it coincides with the closure of MuppetVision 3D which is getting a refurbishment and is set to reopen next week.

Some elements of the fountain remain behind the shrubbery (as you can see above) which makes us suspect the fountain is receiving routine maintenance while MuppetVision 3D is closed.

Have you seen the makeshift shrubbery outside of MuppetVision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Stay tuned and we’ll keep you posted on the return of the fountain!

Today at the Magic Kingdom the Audio-Animatronic Character John hand fell off on the Carousel of Progress.

The photo first appeared on Reddit by user ColtsMcgee and the Tomorrowland attraction shut down around 4:46 pm for at least 30 minutes.

Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress has been reopened after an interruption of 35 minutes. https://t.co/GQi1mDYbrY #MagicKingdom #WDW #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneyWorld

It has been a rough couple of months for the Carousel of Progress, remember back in December when two intoxicated guests jumped on stage?

We are happy to report that the attraction is back up and running and John’s hand has been fixed.

Let’s give him a hand…

He is known for his role as Ned Land in Disney’s 1954 adventure film, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

In a statement released by his son Michael Douglas:

“It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103,”

“To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
