Disneyland Confirms Shuttle Service to Stay for Toy Story Parking Area

February 13, 2026

Planning a trip to the “Happiest Place on Earth” just got a little less stressful. Amidst major changes to Anaheim’s local transit landscape, Disney officials have confirmed that the shuttle service for the Toy Story Parking Area will continue, ensuring guests still have a reliable, air-conditioned lift to the front gates. No other info has been provided yet, but we will keep you posted once we hear from the resort.

If you’ve been following the news about the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) system winding down, you might have worried about your favorite parking hack. Here is everything you need to know about the Toy Story shuttle and why this is a win for your next Disney day.

In early 2026, the Anaheim Transportation Network (ATN) announced that the ART bus system would officially cease operations on March 31, 2026. For decades, ART has been the backbone for off-site hotel guests and provided the fleet for Disney’s Toy Story lot.

While the broader hotel shuttle network is ending, Disneyland Resort has confirmed that shuttle service between the Toy Story lot and the parks will remain in place. Even after the ART system shuts down, Disney is committed to maintaining this vital link for guests.

Why Park at the Toy Story Lot?

While many people head straight for the Mickey & Friends or Pixar Pals parking structures, the Toy Story lot (located at Harbor Blvd and Katella Ave) is often the “secret weapon” for savvy visitors:

Convenience: The shuttles drop you off at the East Shuttle Area, right near the Esplanade between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
Security: You often go through security screening at the parking lot, meaning you can bypass the longer lines at the main entrance.
Accessibility: For families with strollers, heavy gear, or those who simply want to save their steps for the park, the shuttle is a life-saver compared to the long walk from the parking structures.

What to Expect After March 31, 2026

While the service is staying, the “behind the scenes” operation may look a little different.

New Operators: Since ATN is winding down, Disney may transition to a private fleet or a new third-party provider.
Same Route: The pickup and drop-off points are expected to remain the same, keeping your arrival routine familiar.
Frequency: Disney aims to keep the “bus every 15 minutes” standard that guests have come to rely on.

Pro Tips for Disneyland Parking in 2026

Check the App: Always check the Disneyland App before you arrive. It provides real-time updates on which lots are open and current parking prices.
Early Bird Gets the Spot: The Toy Story lot usually opens 60-90 minutes before the earliest park opening. Arriving early ensures a shorter shuttle wait.
Consider Walking: If the shuttle line looks daunting and you’re parked near the Harbor Blvd exit, the walk to the parks is approximately 0.9 miles (about 15–20 minutes).

Looking Ahead: The Eastern Gateway

The decision to keep the Toy Story shuttles is a bridge to the future. Disney recently filed permits for a massive new 6,000-space parking structure and transportation hub on the east side of the resort, with construction slated to begin in late 2026. Until that project is complete, the Toy Story lot remains a cornerstone of the Disneyland arrival experience.

Paige O’Hara voice of Belle Appearing at EPCOT Festival of the Arts

Disney Legend Paige O’Hara Brings “Belle-Inspired” Magic to EPCOT Festival of the Arts

If you’ve ever wanted to meet a real-life Disney Princess, now is your chance. Paige O’Hara, the legendary voice behind Belle in the 1991 classic Beauty and the Beast, has officially arrived at the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

While many know her for her iconic singing and acting, O’Hara is also an accomplished Disney Fine Artist. She is spending the holiday weekend meeting fans and showcasing her “Belles by Belle” collection—a series of paintings that capture her unique connection to the character she brought to life over 30 years ago.

Appearance Details & Location

O’Hara is appearing for a strictly limited engagement through Monday, February 16. You can find her at the World Showcase Bridge Kiosk, conveniently located between Spaceship Earth and the World Showcase Lagoon.

Remaining Signing Schedule:

If you are planning to visit, keep these times in mind:

Friday, Feb 13 – Monday, Feb 16: * 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM
- 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM

Planning Your Visit: The Virtual Queue

Meeting a Disney Legend is a high-priority task for many festival-goers. To manage the crowds, EPCOT may implement a Virtual Queue specifically for this signing event. This is usually a “low-tech” virtual queue managed on-site by Cast Members, rather than through the My Disney Experience app. Arrive early at the World Showcase Bridge Kiosk and speak with the team there to secure your spot.

Exclusive Art for Sale

Fans looking to take home a piece of history can purchase both original paintings and limited-edition prints at the kiosk. Having your artwork signed by the “voice of the character” adds a layer of magic that is unique to the Festival of the Arts.

Whether you’re a lifelong Beauty and the Beast fan or an art collector, this is a rare opportunity to chat with a Disney Legend who helped define an era of animation.

Tomorrowland Rocks Finally Getting a Fresh Coat of Paint After Years of Delay

Tomorrowland Rocks: The Long-Awaited Glow-Up is Finally Happening

For Disney fans who have spent the last few years squinting at the jarring contrast at the entrance of Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, there is finally some colorful news. The “great paint stall” of the 2020s appears to be over.

After nearly three years of architectural purgatory, the faded, weathered rockwork lining the land is finally receiving its fresh coat of futuristic blue-gray paint.

A Project Frozen in Time

To understand why this is a big deal, we have to look back at the timeline. The “New Tomorrowland” aesthetic—shifting away from the 1994 “Buck Rogers” metallic look toward a cleaner, mid-century modern vibe—hit a snag:

2016: The rocks were transitioned from their original natural red-brown “canyon” look to a sleek, metallic blue-gray.
2023: The entrance rocks framing the bridge were repainted, looking shiny and brand new.
The Stall: For reasons unknown, the brushes were put down after the entrance was finished.

This left a bizarre visual rift: the front of the land looked like a high-tech utopia, while the rest—stretching toward Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe—faded into a dull, chalky gray. In some spots, the old 90s-era red-brown paint was even beginning to peek through, like a ghost of Disney past.

Progress Near Cosmic Ray’s

The wait officially ended this week. Painters were spotted on the north side of the land, deep among the crags near the moat. Interestingly, crews were seen consulting reference images to ensure the color grading perfectly matches the 2023 entrance work.

To protect the “Future That Never Was” aesthetic, nearby rocket-like structural supports have been wrapped in protective plastic. It’s a clear sign that Disney is committed to finishing the job this time around.

Why Now? The Moat Factor

The sudden burst of productivity likely isn’t a coincidence. Currently, the Magic Kingdom moat has been largely drained to facilitate the ongoing maintenance and repainting of Cinderella Castle. With the water levels low, crews have easier, safer access to the base of the rockwork that is usually submerged or difficult to reach via barge.

What’s Next?

As the “Great Tomorrowland Paint Job” continues, guests can expect more scaffolding and plastic wrap throughout the land. However, the end result will be a cohesive, vibrant entryway that finally matches the sleek aesthetic of TRON Lightcycle / Run and the refurbished Tiana’s Bayou Adventure nearby.

Tomorrowland is finally stepping out of the “dull gray” era and back into the gleaming future we were promised.

Universal Orlando Names Elon Musk’s Boring Company as Preferred Partner for New Transit Link

Universal Orlando Names Elon Musk's Boring Company as Preferred Partner for New Transit Link

Universal Orlando Advances Transit Talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Company for Epic Universe Connection

Universal Orlando may be digging toward the future in a very literal way. The district that oversees infrastructure for Universal Orlando Resort is moving forward in formal discussions with The Boring Company on a potential transportation system linking its growing campuses.

The Shingle Creek Transit & Utility Community Development District, a public entity established to manage infrastructure needs tied to Universal’s expansion, met on February 11, 2026 to evaluate proposals for a long term transit agreement. The project is described as a “design, build, operation and maintenance” effort for a point to point innovative transportation system, with a proposed 25 year contract.

Three groups submitted proposals including V2R Transportation, Sunshine Connection Partners, and The Boring Company. After reviewing workforce capability, long term vision alignment, and relevant project experience, the board named The Boring Company as its preferred partner. The firm, founded by Elon Musk in 2017, is best known for tunnel based transit concepts such as the Vegas Loop, where Tesla vehicles shuttle passengers through underground routes.

The proposed Universal project would focus on connecting the resort’s north campus, home to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and CityWalk, with the new south campus anchored by Universal Epic Universe. Currently, the two campuses are separated by several miles of busy roadways, and guests rely on bus transportation. Travel times can fluctuate significantly during peak congestion, sometimes doubling depending on traffic.

Epic Universe Helps Universal Theme Park Revenue Jump 22% in 2025

While this vote allows negotiations to begin, construction is not imminent. The board must still determine project scope and cost before anything moves forward. A representative tied to the Sunshine Corridor proposal confirmed the primary goal is to ease traffic and improve connectivity across the expanding resort footprint.

For Universal, this could be a major infrastructure play as Epic Universe ramps up operations and draws even larger crowds. Whether that future involves underground tunnels, autonomous vehicles, or another innovative solution remains to be seen. But one thing is clear. Universal is thinking beyond buses as it charts the next chapter of resort growth.

Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition Makes Its World Premiere at The Franklin Institute

Universal fans, pack your bags for Philadelphia because the parks are heading north for a limited time. Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition officially makes its world premiere on February 14, 2026 at The Franklin Institute, and this one is not your typical museum stroll. It is a full behind-the-scenes dive into how Universal turns big ideas into blockbuster attractions.

Universal Theme Parks The Exhibition Coming To The Franklin Institute

Created in partnership with Universal Destinations & Experiences, the exhibit invites guests to step inside the creative engine behind some of the most iconic lands and rides. From the legendary Jaws and The World Famous Studio Tour to Illumination’s Minions, Jurassic World, Universal Monsters, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, and the game-changing SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, the experience explores storytelling, ride technology, and immersive world building in one massive showcase. Even the all new Universal Epic Universe gets its moment in the spotlight, offering a look at how Universal’s newest theme park came to life.

The exhibition promises concept art, design insights, creative development stories, and interactive elements that let guests tap into their own inner Imagineer. Well, Universal style Imagineer. Think creative sketches, ride system explanations, and renderings that pull back the curtain on how attractions evolve from pitch meetings to full scale experiences.

Tickets are already on sale, and there are a few options depending on when you visit. Daytime admission from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm includes general museum access and ranges from $41 to $47 for non-members. Evening hours, offered Thursday through Saturday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, are $25 but do not include museum admission. There is also a Flex Time ticket for $65 that allows entry at any time during your selected date. Members receive discounted pricing, and group rates are available for parties of 15 or more.

For theme park fans who love diving into concept art, ride systems, and the evolution of immersive lands, this exhibit feels like stepping into the creative workshop itself. It is not just a celebration of attractions. It is a tribute to the artistry, engineering, and storytelling that power them

Imagineers Share Behind-the-Scenes Look at Frozen Ever After’s Stunning Upgrade at EPCOT

Just one day after Frozen Ever After softly reopened at EPCOT, Walt Disney Imagineering pulled back the curtain on the team that helped bring Arendelle’s royal glow up to life. And let’s just say, this was no small flurry of pixie dust.

Meet the Disney Project Team for Frozen Ever After Update

The headline update for the beloved Norway Pavilion attraction was the replacement of the screen-based faces with fully articulated Audio Animatronic heads. Anna and Elsa now feature expressive, dimensional faces that move in sync with their performances, creating a far more lifelike presence during the ride’s musical moments. It is the kind of upgrade that instantly elevates the storytelling and brings the characters closer to their animated counterparts.

Among the Imagineers highlighted was Wyatt Winter, a producer on the original version of Frozen Ever After when it debuted nearly ten years ago. Returning to help guide this refresh adds a full circle moment to the project. Show Angela and John handled lighting enhancements, while Chris, Sean, and Brittney led figure finishing. Ryan coordinated the project’s work with outside partners, ensuring everything came together seamlessly.

One especially notable contributor was Whitney, who previously helped engineer the articulated heads for Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey at Tokyo DisneySea inside Fantasy Springs. That attraction, which opened in June 2024, introduced the advanced face technology that has now made its way stateside to EPCOT.

The updated figures bring more nuanced expressions, smoother movement, and a stronger emotional connection to key scenes throughout the ride. For longtime fans who remember the original projection faces, the difference is immediate and impressive.

As Frozen Ever After welcomes guests back aboard their boats through Arendelle, it is clear that this refurbishment was more than a quick fix. It was a thoughtful evolution powered by a team of Imagineers dedicated to pushing character realism forward.

Disney Imagineering Unveils a Breakthrough Articulating Arm Ride System

Disney Imagineering Unveils a Breakthrough Articulating Arm Ride System

Disney Patents Wild New “Boom Arm” Ride System That Could Let Attractions Jump, Dodge, and Fly

If you love geeking out over what Walt Disney Imagineering is cooking up behind the blueprints, this one is a big deal. Disney has filed a new patent for an articulating “boom arm” ride system that could seriously shake up how future attractions move, feel, and surprise us.

The patent, officially published as US 2026/0027482 A1 and filed on behalf of Disney Enterprises, Inc., outlines a ride vehicle attached to a movable arm that runs along a track. But here is the twist. Instead of being locked rigidly to that track, the vehicle can be lifted, shifted side to side, or raised completely away from the ride surface while still traveling forward. Think of it as a ride car that refuses to stay in its lane.

At the heart of the system is a chassis that runs along a traditional track. Connected to that chassis is the boom arm, which can extend, pivot, and articulate in real time. As the vehicle moves through the attraction, the arm adjusts its position vertically and laterally, allowing for dynamic motion without switching tracks. A counterweight or spring system helps balance the load, reducing the power needed to move the arm and vehicle.

The patent outlines several possible applications that could dramatically change the feel of a ride. Vehicles could be lifted to simulate jumps or short bursts of flight. They could shift left or right to dodge obstacles or hit targets. The arm could raise and lower the vehicle to mimic bumps, ramps, moguls, or terrain changes.

It could even span gaps in a show floor or create sudden airtime-style moments by quickly altering elevation. The concept drawings show everything from boat-style vehicles in water channels to wheeled land vehicles, suggesting the system is meant to be flexible across multiple attraction types.

One especially intriguing detail is guest control. The patent describes a steering interface such as a wheel, joystick, or lever that would allow riders to control their vehicle’s position during the experience. Imagine steering up, down, left, or right to avoid hazards or trigger interactive elements. That opens the door to attractions that feel more like participatory adventures than passive rides.

The system also supports multiple ride paths. The boom arm could pivot the vehicle from one side of the track to another, effectively switching between different routes mid-ride. The patent even describes up to four potential paths, which could allow for varied experiences, branching storylines, or repeat ride value without separate track systems.

Of course, it is important to remember that this is a patent application, not a confirmed attraction. Disney files patents regularly, and not all of them make it into a finished ride. Still, the level of detail here suggests this is more than a blue sky concept. It tackles a real limitation of traditional track-based rides by freeing the vehicle from being locked into a single plane of motion.

Whether this ends up in a high-speed Cars-style attraction, a water-based adventure, or something entirely new, one thing is clear. Disney is still swinging for the fences when it comes to ride innovation.

Rumors Swirl of New “The Muppet Show” Episodes in Development

Building on the momentum of the recent Muppet Show revival special featuring Sabrina Carpenter, the creative team is reportedly back in the workshop developing additional episodes. While the “sensational and inspirational” return has sparked significant buzz, Disney has yet to officially greenlight a full season or confirm a series of follow-up specials.

According to insiders, the Muppets are already busy “assembling” their next act. On the latest episode of the Fine Tooning podcast (Episode 345), noted journalist Drew Taylor revealed to co-host Jim Hill that writers are currently penning scripts for future installments. Taylor expressed high hopes for the project, stating, “They’re working on writing episodes right now for future installments, Jim, so I just hope that it happens.”

The momentum for a full revival is undeniable following the massive success of the recent special starring Sabrina Carpenter. The production debuted with a rare 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and has maintained a stellar 98% audience rating. Critics have hailed the comeback as a “spirited return to roots,” calling it “clever, earnest, and exactly right.”

Directed by Tony winner Alex Timbers, the standalone special brought together an incredible lineup of legendary Muppet performers, including Bill Barretta, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, Peter Linz, David Rudman, and Matt Vogel. While Sabrina Carpenter headlined as the special guest, the show also featured hilarious cameos from Maya Rudolph and executive producer Seth Rogen.

The production was a massive collaborative effort, with Carpenter, Timbers, Vogel, and Jacobson also serving as executive producers. The leadership team was rounded out by David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter, Michael Steinbach, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Alex McAtee, and Albertina Rizzo, ensuring the Muppets’ return to the screen was a top-tier creative event.
