Walt Disney Imagineering Releases Behind‑the‑Scenes Video on Toy Story Land Design

It offers a designer-led tour that highlights how graphics, props and hidden infrastructure build the land’s toy-sized story.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering published a WED Walks episode that walks viewers through the visual and set design of Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • The episode is hosted by Principal Production Designer Jillian Rothman and Creative Director Alexis Cummins, who narrate design choices and share hands-on stories from the build process.
  • The video focuses on craft and storytelling rather than announcing new rides or operational changes, explaining techniques such as oversized props, scanned crayon art and Tinkertoy-style poles that hide speakers and wiring.
  • Coverage framed the release as timely promotion linked to renewed public interest in the Toy Story franchise following the latest film’s strong box-office performance.
  • Reports published alongside the video note small park updates at Walt Disney World, including a new floral bed at EPCOT’s entrance, an upgraded Shanghai Disney Resort exhibit in EPCOT’s China Pavilion, and an added visible animal on Animal Kingdom’s Kilimanjaro Safari.
