Woody’s Lunch Box Seating Area Construction Update from Hollywood Studios

The popular Woody’s Lunch Box seating area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been demolished to make way for a new and improved space. Construction is currently underway, and we have an update.

The beloved Woody’s Lunch Box seating area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was unexpectedly demolished last month. However, the walk-up counter-service restaurant remains open for business while construction takes place.

Although no official details about the refurbishment have been released, recent photos show fresh pavement in some areas, hinting at the potential changes to come.

Construction crews are hard at work on the new Woody’s Lunch Box seating area. Recent photos reveal that repaving has begun in sections of the area, with a grid setup in place for further paving work.

The construction site also features staged equipment and newly dug square holes fortified with lumber. While the purpose of these holes remains unclear, they could indicate plans for a new structure in the area.

One of the main criticisms of Toy Story Land has been the lack of shade and seating, particularly near Woody’s Lunch Box. Before the opening of Roundup Rodeo BBQ in 2023, Woody’s Lunch Box was the only dining option in the land and had no covered seating.

Although the seating area is currently closed due to construction, temporary tables have been set up near the entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to accommodate guests.

We can’t wait to see the finished seating area.

Guests can expect to pay more for meals at popular character dining locations like Chef Mickey’s and ‘Ohana, as well as buffets such as Boma and Biergarten. You can read more about that here.

While these continued price increases across various aspects of the Disney World experience are undoubtedly frustrating for guests, they unfortunately reflect the current economic climate. Rising operational costs, inflation, and supply chain challenges are impacting businesses across all sectors, and Disney is no exception. It’s crucial for guests to be aware of these evolving costs and plan their Disney vacations accordingly to avoid any unwelcome surprises. Despite the financial adjustments, the magic of Disney remains a powerful draw for many, and careful budgeting can help ensure a fulfilling and memorable experience for all.
