UPDATE (4/4/19): When we originally reported on this festive event after discovering it on the Walt Disney World website, there were open times on all three available dates. Later that day, there was no availability whatsoever on any of those dates which lead us to believe that the event had sold out completely.
This event was announced officially on the Disney Parks Blog late this afternoon and can now be booked by calling (407) 939-6983 as online booking for this event is reportedly under maintenance. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your family’s spot before it’s too late!
Sheriff Woody and his Toy Story pals are heading to Disney’s Contemporary Resort to put on a shindig that will feature games, crafts, and barbeque goodness.
The holiday weekend celebration will be offered nightly July 4 through 6 from 6:15 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. and the scene will be set as a “larger-than-life recreation playset of Woody’s Roundup—a rustic, wild western town.”
Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, and Buzz Lightyear will be on-hand and guests can sing and dance as Mr. Microphone plays some of Woody’s favorite tunes. Sarge will be greeting guests as they arrive as well as making sure they’re in “tip top toy shape and ready for playtime.”
Playtime activities will include:
- Trick Roping Demonstration
- Camp-style Carnival Games
- Toy Story Craft Station
A balloon artist will be roaming around and creating favorite Toy Story toys.
Guests will experience the following fireworks shows from the Porte Cochére which provides a spectacular view. Each show begins at approximately 9:15 PM:
