Break out your luxo balls and green army men, Toy Story Land now has an opening date thanks to a special announcement made on Good Morning America today. Playtime will commence on June 30th in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort. Stretching over 11 acres with three signature attractions, there’s bound to be something for every Toy Story fan.

“With set pieces, staging, attractions, and experiences, Toy Story Land represents the best of Walt Disney Imagineering’s collaboration with our storytelling partners at Pixar Animations Studios”, proudly stated by Parks and Resorts chairman Bob Chapek. “This new land will place guests inside the wondrous world of Woody, Buzz, and their pals…and invite everyone to experience the joy of being a toy.”

Disney Parks and Resorts released a full breakdown of what’s to come this summer. You can take a closer look below:

  • Slinky Dog Dash: Andy has assembled his roller coaster kit for maximum family fun. Tracks and supports in bright colors of red, orange, yellow and blue are put together according to Andy’s hand-drawn plans, with Rex and Jessie lending a hand. And to complete his creation, Andy picked up everyone’s favorite floppy-eared dachshund with a strrrrretch-ing slinky coil belly and dropped it on to the coaster track. Get ready to ride inside Slinky Dog’s coils! Slinky Dog Dash is inspired by the delightful pooch spinoff of Slinky, the 1950s American toy classic. Riders of all ages will delight as Slinky Dog bends and twists his coils around curves, hills, bridges and drops in the Slinky-est coaster ever. Riders will zip around and above Toy Story Land, serving up panoramic views of all that the new land has to offer. Andy’s colorful creation will stretch Slinky Dog and his coils to the max – from his head to his upturned tail – and be fun for the entire family.

  • Alien Swirling Saucers: Brace yourself for out-of-this-world thrills because the aliens have powered up their flying saucers!

Recently updated with a third track, the popular attraction will put even more guests in the carnival play-set action taking aim at 3D objects – using everything from baseballs to cream pies – in a variety of whimsical, fast-paced games.
