Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will notice something different the next time they stop by Toy Story Land. Following the theatrical release of Toy Story 5 (2026), Disney has officially updated some of the land’s most popular character meet-and-greets, giving Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie brand-new looks inspired by the latest film.Credit: PixarThe changes aren’t a complete redesign, but longtime Pixar fans will immediately recognize the new accessories. It’s another way Disney is connecting its parks to the newest chapter in the beloved franchise while giving returning visitors something fresh to experience.Disney Brings Toy Story 5 to the ParksDisney announced earlier this year that updated character costumes were on the way, and the changes have finally arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guests can now meet Woody, Buzz, and Jessie wearing accessories that reflect where their stories continue in Toy Story 5 (2026).The updates are subtle, but each one carries meaning for fans who have followed the characters through every movie.Credit: DisneyWoody now sports a poncho made from what appears to be a human bandanna. The added piece gives the longtime sheriff a slightly different appearance while still keeping the classic outfit guests have known for decades.Jessie has also received a meaningful addition. She now wears the sheriff badge that Woody handed to her at the end of Toy Story 4 (2019), a moment that symbolized her taking on a larger leadership role among the toys. Woody and Jessie continue greeting guests together outside Toy Story Mania, making it easy for visitors to see both updated costumes during the same stop.Buzz Lightyear’s change is perhaps the simplest, but it still ties directly into the newest film. The Space Ranger now wears a shiny star sticker on his chest, giving his familiar space suit a small but noticeable refresh. Guests can find Buzz meeting near the entrance to Toy Story Land.Fans Have Been Waiting for These UpdatesWhile the costumes are new to Walt Disney World, they aren’t making their Disney Parks debut.Woody, Buzz, and Jessie first began appearing in these updated outfits at Disney California Adventure in early June. After Toy Story 5 (2026) reached theaters on June 19, many Walt Disney World fans wondered how long it would take before Florida received the same treatment. Disney has now answered that question by bringing the refreshed costumes to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well.Credit: PixarFor guests who enjoy meeting Disney characters, even relatively small costume updates provide another reason to stop by. Many visitors make annual or even monthly trips to Walt Disney World, and changes like these help keep familiar experiences feeling current.A Land Frozen in Time Meets a Story That Kept MovingOne interesting aspect of the update is how it fits within Toy Story Land itself.The land has always been designed to place guests inside Andy’s backyard, shrinking everyone down to toy size. Giant building blocks, oversized footprints, and colorful playsets reinforce the idea that visitors have become toys themselves.Credit: DisneyThe newest movie, however, continues the story well beyond Andy’s childhood.By the events of Toy Story 5 (2026), the toys have long since left Andy behind and now belong to Bonnie, the young girl introduced at the end of Toy Story 3 (2010). Despite Toy Story Land remaining themed around Andy’s backyard, Disney has chosen to let the characters evolve alongside the films rather than permanently freezing them in one point of the timeline.It’s a small storytelling compromise that many guests probably won’t think twice about, but it also shows Disney’s willingness to keep its character experiences aligned with the latest Pixar releases.Character Meet-and-Greets Continue to EvolveDisney has increasingly used character costumes to reflect current films, anniversaries, and seasonal celebrations.Rather than replacing beloved characters with entirely new experiences, the company often introduces refreshed outfits that encourage repeat visits without changing the overall meet-and-greet locations guests already know.For Pixar fans, these latest additions accomplish exactly that.Credit: DisneyChildren meeting Woody for the first time may simply see their favorite cowboy. Meanwhile, longtime fans who have watched every installment immediately notice the new poncho. Jessie wearing Woody’s sheriff badge serves as another subtle callback that rewards guests familiar with the series, while Buzz’s updated star sticker continues that same approach.These details may not fundamentally change the interaction, but they strengthen the connection between Disney’s parks and its newest theatrical releases.Another Reason to Visit Toy Story LandToy Story Land remains one of the busiest areas inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios thanks to attractions like Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Toy Story Mania. Character meet-and-greets have also become an important part of the land, especially for families with younger children.The updated costumes add another reason to stop and meet the trio.Unlike temporary promotional displays or limited-time entertainment offerings, refreshed character costumes allow Disney to celebrate a new movie while keeping familiar experiences intact. Guests still receive the same hugs, photos, and interactions, but with costumes that acknowledge the latest chapter in the franchise.Disney often looks for ways to connect its parks with current films, and updating character appearances is one of the easiest ways to accomplish that goal. Instead of redesigning an entire attraction or introducing a new show, a costume refresh immediately signals that the story has continued.A Small Change That Fans Will AppreciateNot every Disney Parks update has to involve a new attraction or major expansion. Sometimes, it’s the smaller touches that longtime fans notice first.Woody’s new poncho, Jessie’s sheriff badge, and Buzz’s shiny star sticker may seem like minor additions on their own, but together they represent Disney’s effort to keep one of Pixar’s biggest franchises feeling current inside the parks.Credit: Martin Lewison, FlickrFor guests heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios after seeing Toy Story 5 (2026), the refreshed meet-and-greets offer one more way to continue the adventure beyond the movie theater. The toys may have moved on from Andy years ago, but they continue creating new memories with Disney guests every day.The post Disney World Gives Woody, Buzz, and Jessie Their First Toy Story Makeover appeared first on Inside the Magic.
