Pixar Place at disney world

Toy Story Midway Mania is closing for renovations just two days after I arrive in August. I better get to Pixar Place quickly!

I would like to see some sort of Cars ride also. There is a lot of potential there! I guess Disney Parks already knows that though considering Cars World.

Come out to Cali in 2012. Carsland as 3 Cars rides
*Radiator Springs Racer
*Luigi’s Roamin’ Tires
*Tow Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree

I know that Raditor Springs Racers is the most expensive attraction to be built in Disneyland Resort

Do you know how long it will be closed for renovations? Because my family goes for our yearly trip in September, and I wanted to see the new mini-game they added, plus this will be my nephew’s first trip to Disney World and he is obsessed with Toy Story. So if it’s closed when we go, I’ll be mad. :imp:

have you been?
Yes! In 2008
do you like pixar place?
TOTALLY! Could use more rides but it has fantastic potential
do you like the name?
Yes. I think it fits
what other ride than toy story mania do you want at pixar place?
I’d totally love to see something Wall-E or Incredibles related. A Cars ride would be cool too
what stuff do you want them to have at the pixar shop at pixar place?
I dunno… uh… more Jessie stuff? :blush: XD

I’ll bring back a report after vacation in 1 week.

Have fun!

I went there for my Orlando vacation in 2009, and I thought it was alright, but it could be vastly improved on. It was raining hard and I wasn’t able to take in every aspect of the scenery (besides at this point I wasn’t as big as a Pixar fan as I was today), but I got a pretty good impression of the area. It looked visually stunning, the only problem I have is that it felt much more like “Toy Story Land” then “Pixar Land”. I swear that the only thing there that was not Toy Story related was the Luxo lamp in the window (but I never even got to see it because it was temporarily closed :frowning: ). If they make some new rides, it would eliminate this problem. i’ve heard about the Monsters, Inc. door roller coaster, and I’ve been waiting for a roller coaster from that scene since 2003! However, I think they should add something from a Pixar film that hasn’t been done yet. Like The Incredibles, Up, or Wall-E (my brain would explode). Seriously, whenever a Disney park announces a new Pixar ride, it’s always either Finding Nemo or Monsters, Inc. (with Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, and Cars being exceptions). Even if you don’t make a full fledged ride, you could at least have a small area or character statue dedicated to the unmentioned movies. At Epcot they redesinged the French restaurant by including an animatronic Remy as your waiter. It’s little details like that that leave an impression, not the 51st Finding Nemo undersea voyage ride created at a Disney park. It may sound like I’m nit-picking, but I loved the Pixar section at Hollywood Studios, and I can’t wait to return now that I’m a dedicated fan so that I can situate myself there the entire day. But please Disney, if you aren’t going to include Pixar characters in your other parks (Up characters in Adventureland, Wall-E characters in Tomorrowland, etc.) at least include them in Pixar Place. Thank you! :wink:

I wish I could go on vacation soooooo bad!!! :imp:

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I totally want to see a Pixar Place character restaurant. It would be a good way to get in all the other characters they haven’t found room for yet. Like at the moment, the only characters I saw there were Woody and Buzz in one little Toy Story themed room. With the restaurant, you could have all the other Pixar characters that walk around the parks.

I like that idea Dragonrider1227! I’d so eat at that resteraunt. Great idea. I love anything food involved!

Heyo! I have some photos to share with y’all.

Pixar Sightings at Walt Dinsey World.
Click the link for more photos (I will only post a few)! They aren’t all from the Pixar Studios section, but I think they are all from Hollywood Studios.

That album made me super happy. Thanks for sharing!! :slight_smile:

I could post some photos if you guys want! I have a Disney World Annual Pass! :smiley:

Yes, please do! :smiley:

Wow, those pics are insanely cool, love70ways! Thanks for posting them!

You are all very welcome!

It looks like Rayhawk is trying to show me up :wink:

I Love PIXAR Place! I’ve never actually been there but I’ve done a virtual tour of it before (ie watching hours of youtube videos of the place) and I’ve also gotten to talk to a few of the Imagineers who got to design Toy Story Mania when I was at the Bay Area Maker Faire 2010.

For me, working at PIXAR is not my dream job. Designing conceptual models and rides for PIXAR Planet is.
