As with ADRs, Walt Disney World has not but launched pricing for Toy Story Roundup Rodeo BBQ.
If we needed to guess primarily based on pricing at Space 220 and Be Our Guest Restaurant, we’d count on grownup pricing to be $55 and youngsters pricing to be $29. It may very well be as excessive as $39 for teenagers and $59 for adults. Anything greater than that may shock us. Although it’s “only” BBQ (versus these extra bold prix fixe menus), Toy Story Roundup Rodeo BBQ is all-you-can-eat delicacies, served family-style–so there shall be premium pricing for that.
In phrases of extra background (that you just in all probability already know when you’ve been following the extended building of this Toy Story Land addition), Roundup Rodeo BBQ Restaurant is positioned to the suitable of what’s presently the doorway of Toy Story Land, behind the enormous Woody determine and land’s marquee (you possibly can see building partitions within the picture beneath).
In our most up-to-date building replace, we famous that building staff have been placing the ending touches on the outside facade of the restaurant. We’re beginning to see seen indicators of this, because the restaurant marquee and different particulars have been put in of the outside of the constructing, which is now behind building scrims. It’s progressed considerably since we shared that–the facade is now coming alive and beginning to resemble the idea artwork on the prime of the publish.
This new desk service restaurant ought to assist handle lots of the points we’ve had with Toy Story Land. It’s presently fairly depressing in the course of the summer season warmth or day by day rain showers because of the lack of shade or shelter. Giving company even a brief reprieve from the solar or storms in a spot that isn’t the restrooms could be good. So from a purely useful or role-filling perspective, Toy Story Roundup BBQ Restaurant is an effective addition.
The menu at Toy Story Roundup BBQ Restaurant really seems higher than I used to be anticipating, though I’ve to confess that my expectations have been fairly low. I figured this is able to principally be a desk service model of Regal Eagle’s Distinctly Patriotic Smokehouse: A Salute to All Foods, But Mostly Barbecued Meats. It seems like a step up from that. (Granted, these are inventory images and what’s really served may look significantly completely different.)
Design and ambition-wise, Roundup Rodeo BBQ Restaurant does completely nothing for me. It seems largely phoned in, however truthfully, I really feel that manner about a lot of the varied Toy Story Lands. Obviously, I’m within the minority on this–I get that. I simply suppose that Toy Story is thematic low-hanging fruit, and may very well be so significantly better than what Imagineering has delivered so far.
This seems like extra of the identical on that entrance. Not that I wish to see yet one more Toy Story Land pop up someplace, however I actually want Imagineering got the price range to do one in every of these lands correct justice so followers see simply how significantly better this idea may really be if its full artistic potential have been reached.
Otherwise, about my solely considered Toy Story Roundup BBQ Restaurant is, “why not have an elaborately themed Pizza Planet instead?!” I’m guessing the reply to that’s storytelling consistency. My retort to that response could be: “who cares.” Seriously, it’s not like Toy Story Land at DHS is the top of themed design.
This will not be Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge…break the foundations! It could be fairly straightforward to concoct a storytelling contrivance to elucidate away the presence of Pizza Planet in “Andy’s Backyard,” if Imagineering really wished to construct the higher restaurant. But that ship has sailed, so no must proceed fixating on it.
In any case, we’re simply glad that Toy Story Roundup Rodeo BBQ will lastly open on March 23, 2023. So lengthy as we’re capable of safe one, we’ll be reserving an Advance Dining Reservation for opening evening–or shortly thereafter–so keep tuned for a full restaurant evaluation coming quickly.
But don’t need on one earlier than reserving your personal ADRs–as famous above, this restaurant will guide up 60+ days forward of time! Both of us shall be monitoring ADR information like hawks within the coming weeks and offers you a heads up ASAP if/when availability stay.
