New Entertainment & Ride Overlay at Disney World for Toy Story 5? * * * Disney’s summer film lineup is stacked with potential blockbusters, including Mandalorian & Grogu, Toy Story 5, Moana, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day (technically Sony, but still MCU). We already know how the Star Wars film is going to feature at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and the company has shared details for the Pixar tentpole, but we’re expecting more. Here’s the latest. Although some ways the company will synergize Toy Story 5’s release on June 18, 2026 are already known, we’re expecting more. This is in part because there are now Pixar or Toy Story Lands at virtually every Disney destination around the globe, Walt Disney World and Disneyland included. It’s also because the Walt Disney Company said so, highlighting Toy Story 5 as part of their most recent earnings call: “Additionally, we are continuously expanding storytelling in our parks, with new experiences featuring Bluey, **activations planned around the release of Toy Story 5** , and a new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu inside Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run coming soon.” (_Emphasis added._) If you’re unfamiliar with “activations” (_which, for the record, is a term that I hate_), you’re not alone. That does not mean Toy Story 5 is getting MagicBand in-park interactivity or one of those gigantic Disneyland 70th-style keys. Just think of “activations” as a synonym for “things.” Activations is basically a buzzword. It’s jargon that marketing professionals use because, I guess, it sounds better to them. This has been deemed superior to using informal, conversational language–like _things_. I would argue that it sounds robotic since it isn’t the way normal people talk. Kind of like referring to Mandalorian’s companion as Grogu instead of Baby Yoda. And also, that Walt loved things. _But I digress_. We already know that **Cool Kids’ Summer is returning to Walt Disney World in Summer 2026**. For the second consecutive year, the parks will celebrate Cool Kids’ Summer from May 26 to September 8, 2026. That seasonal event will bring attraction refreshes, new experiences, and limited-time offerings designed for the whole family. Walt Disney World will feature things for kids and kids-at-heart, including DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character appearances, hands-on activities, and nonstop summer vibes. Here’s the Toy Story 5 “activation” that’s been announced for Cool Kids’ Summer thus far: ### Toy Story Pals at Diamond Horseshoe Just for Cool Kids’ Summer 2026, pals from Toy Story are ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good time at the Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom. Join Jessie, Woody, and friends for some energetic fun at Jessie’s Roundup, where you’ll craft, dance, and yodel your hearts out in this western revue. We’ve seen some fans and other sites misconstrue this announcement as Diamond Horseshoe becoming a character dining experience. One event cited Cast Members in Frontierland as a source. That’s incorrect. There is no Toy Story 5 character meal coming. Not to Diamond Horseshoe and not to Roundup Rodeo BBQ. I don’t know why there isn’t a Toy Story character dining experience, as it strikes me as a very obvious offering, but for whatever reason, there isn’t. And that won’t change in Summer 2026. That’s all we know about Jessie’s Roundup at this point. Walt Disney World has now announced that Diamond Horseshoe will cease to be a table service restaurant ahead of Cool Kids’ Summer. Here’s the bulletin posted on the official website: > Beginning May 16, 2026, The Diamond Horseshoe will temporarily end table-service dining in preparation for Jessie’s Roundup during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER. Dining service is expected to resume fall 2026. The conversion from restaurant to dance party is pretty simple–just removing the tables–and could be accomplished in a few weeks, days, or hours. In other words, the end date for meal service at Diamond Horseshoe doesn’t really tell us anything about the ambition level of Jessie’s Roundup. It wouldn’t be surprising if leadership realized ADR demand will be low during the shoulder season, and opted to take the restaurant offline in mid-May, as opposed to waiting another week. As for Jessie’s Roundup, it’s a good addition. An indoor dance party in the summer makes a lot more sense than having this over in Tomorrowland at the sun-drenched Stitch stage. Not really much more is necessary in the way of commentary than that. We’ve seen Jessie’s/Woody’s Roundup in this space before; it’s a known quantity. Here’s hoping all of the Country Bears make appearances. ### More Toy Story Land Things? Thus far, the only official announcement about Toy Story 5 offerings at Walt Disney World is Jessie’s Roundup at Diamond Horseshoe. And I’m not even sure if that qualifies, since Disney hasn’t indicated it’ll feature anything that’s unique to Toy Story 5. Of course, there’s an entire Toy Story Land dedicated to the franchise over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so it would make sense to feature more integrations there. As for possibilities on that front, there are the following simpler, almost sure things: * **New Props** – Back when Toy Story 4 debuted in 2019, Disney added a few new props to Toy Story Land. Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you what (which should underscore the insignificance of the changes), but that’s mentioned in the DTB Archives. * **New Characters** – Forky made his Toy Story Land debut alongside the fourth film, but not as a standalone character–as a prop held by Woody. It’s probably safe to expect something similar with Lilypad, the new tablet that’s the film’s primary antagonist. It’ll be interesting to see whether there are any new marquee characters that could appear in the land and hold Lilypad. * **New Merchandise & Food** – This one is a given; probably no need for additional explanation. I’d also expect to see a souvenir sipper and popcorn bucket. It would be nice to see something more than that. Even if it’s not specific to Toy Story 5, just having more of the existing characters come out for appearances (e.g. Lotso, Partysaurus Rex, etc.) would be a nice enhancement. Especially with how busy Toy Story Land gets. One bigger wildcard is a new scene or at least enhancements to Toy Story Mania. The promise of the screen-based gameplay-driven attraction has long been that it could be refreshed and reimagined over time, with Disney originally teasing the possibility of new scenes and seasonal overlays. Thus far, that has only happened in a meaningful way at Walt Disney World once. Way back in 2010 with the release of Toy Story 3, one game was swapped out for a similar one, and new characters were added in a couple of scenes. Otherwise, the most consequential change is currently ongoing out at Disneyland, where there are 70th Anniversary targets in the attraction. This is actually a bigger change than I was expecting, with 70th ‘stickers’ being added to props throughout the queue and ride, but more importantly, the value of targets changing with the ’70’ sticker being added to the front, significantly increasing their worth. As a result, you will almost certainly set a new personal record on Toy Story Midway Mania. Not a huge substantive change, but a _fun_ one. It’s potentially noteworthy here that Toy Story Midway Mania is closing for a refurbishment in April 2026 at DCA. This is expected to involve replacing projectors, but we’re _hopeful_ it also involves swapping out some props inside the attraction and new gameplay for Toy Story 5. If that’s the plan, we’d expect similar changes at Walt Disney World. If a ride closure appears on the calendar for the Disney’s Hollywood Studios version of the attraction soon, we could have our answer. There’s already a lot happening with ‘attraction enhancements’ at DHS this summer, though, so we wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t play that card yet. Finally, it’s also worth noting that Tokyo Disneyland is seeming getting the biggest celebration of all, as that park will host the summer “Funtime with Toy Story 5” from July 2 to September 14, 2026. According to TDR, that’ll feature a stamp rally (it’s a Japan thing–like a scavenger hunt) to find the characters, merchandise, special menus, decorations, and so much more! They’ve already launched this website for the “Funtime with Toy Story 5” special event. Our hope is that Walt Disney World and Disneyland do something similar. Cool Kids’ Summer is already the seasonal special event in Florida, and there’s the ongoing 70th at Disneyland, but there’s no reason there can’t be special Toy Story 5 offerings within those. If Tokyo Disney Resort is getting the studio marketing budget for a fully-fledged summer event, it stands to reason that some of those same additions could come to the domestic parks. Selfishly, I hope that’s what happens. I wouldn’t normally care what Walt Disney World and Disneyland are doing to celebrate Toy Story, as there’s already more than enough of it on both coasts, if you ask me. However, we also have a Toy Story loving toddler whose favorite character is Woody…who now _always_ accompanies us to the Disney Parks (and grocery store). Honestly, that’s changed the game for us. I’m now fully on board with more Toy Story at Walt Disney World… _and beyond!_ Expand the land, make a character meal, build a Toy Story Hotel (which is actually shockingly good) behind Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Sign me up for all of it! Amazing how kids change perspectives, and the Toy Story films themselves are a great example of that. What an even greater gut punch those are when they go from being about seeing _yourself_ grow up to watching _your kids_ growing up. Oof.

Welcome to the World of WALT 2.0 TTS is excited to announce the launch of the second generation of WALT, the lead training agent for the hospit-AI-lity travel training platform. Still in the evaluation phase, WALT received an array of back-end and user facing improvements that has improved his speed and response effectiveness. As the technology moves towards scaling and eventual deployment, accuracy and efficiency can be tracked and managed with more detail while WALT’s overall performance improves with more detailed user facing responses. WALT 2.0 is available for evaluation and your feedback is greatly appreciated. Read on for details in the upgrades and scroll to the bottom for the news release to access WALT and take him for spin. ## Improved Data Management At the heart of WALT is a RAG pipeline that pulls resources from a static set of documents within a knowledge base. The components that make up the framework can each be optimized for better performance and accuracy. Beginning with the resources themselves, improved document structuring will ensure more efficient loading and processing. Chunking documents is a core RAG process and optimizing chunk size and overlap improves chunk structure and delivers more accuracy when vectorizing. Upgrading the embedding model vastly improves vectorization and response targeting with varying user language. These upgrades are the springboard for eventual scaling and field deployment as more adjustments and optimizations will further increase WALT’s response accuracy. > ### WALT: > > ### Worker > > ### Augmented > > ### Localized > > ### Trainer ## Automated and Visualized Evaluations Evaluations are a critical process in the development of RAG systems and WALT 2.0 sees across the board improvement and upgrades in the evaluation sphere. An automated Evaluation Console has been engineered to check and validate current setups and optimizations and provides scores and graphical representations of important metrics such as Mean Reciprocal Rank (MMR), Normalized DCG (nDCG) and Keyword Coverage. WALT’s question and response performance can be monitored and validated in real time and results actioned much more quickly during the evaluation phase. Evaluations after script changes and knowledge base updates can be performed more effectively and practically with the establishment of the evaluation console. Please reach out for WALT’s current MMR, nDCG and KC statistics. The user facing facet of WALT will now embed a ‘Document Source Window’ that displays which document WALT chose to answer the user’s inquiry. This will display in real time and as the inquiry is processed and displays RAG action in real time. This will provide valuable feedback as WALT’s knowledge base grows and becomes more detailed. ## Better User Experiences at the Evaluation WALT 2.0 will also get a new front end for a much better user and evaluation experience. The addition of the Document Source Window will keep users informed on the resources WALT picks to answer their inquiries. A large screen, scroll type chat layout will keep older responses on screen for user reference. Additional graphical and branding elements will keep the environment clean and easy to navigate when interacting with WALT. An updated Gradio U/I will ensure the evaluation will be available across any device or browser type. Users will have the option to have their conversation transcript with WALT emailed to them with just 2 clicks. Access to Walt and the hospit-AI-lity Evaluation Console are available upon request. ## hospit-AI-lity Chugs Towards Scale and Deployment Ongoing evaluation of Walt will increase his accuracy and will eventually segue into user facing questions being placed and ‘mini-tests’ given. Major checkpoints ahead include migrating to a local LLM model such as Ollama with continued evaluation and testing. WALT and hospit-AI-lity will be deployed in the field as a mobile device app, ideally on a tablet sized device, leading to the eventual minification of the platform and full functionality on handheld devices. A full basic guest services training map is currently under development and will be assigned as the primary resource set for WALT, tracking and managing performance with a larger volume of documents with much more detail and information. WALT 2.0 evaluation is live and feedback is requested. Access WALT here: https://traveltechnologysolutions.net/EvalPortal/#haiy
