The seating area at Woody’s Lunch Box within Disney’s Hollywood Studios has recently undergone a significant transformation. Once a bustling spot for diners, it was unexpectedly demolished in September, leaving guests with a sense of anticipation for the upcoming changes. Throughout this construction period, the walk-up counter-service restaurant remains operational, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy their meals.

Unannounced Refurbishment and Project Details

The refurbishment of Woody’s Lunch Box seating area came as a surprise, and as of now, details about the final project have not been shared with the public. Since the last construction update, there has not been much visible movement. However, a portion of the seating area did reopen, providing some relief to those seeking a place to sit and relax. Planters continue to act as a barrier, separating the work area from guests and creating a temporary blockade when necessary at Walt Disney World.

Construction Area Barricades and Equipment

Other parts of the construction area are barricaded by posts with scrim wrapped around them, adding to the sense of activity and progress. A grid has been set up, ready for more pavement to be poured, indicating the ongoing efforts to enhance the space. Additionally, construction equipment can be seen throughout the site, working diligently to bring the new and improved Woody’s Lunch Box to life.

Inside the Construction Site

Taking a look inside the construction site reveals interesting details. Pieces of lumber and a metal box lie around, giving a glimpse into the materials being used in the renovation. In the background, the shade structure that was erected in January 2022 stands out. It is almost three years since this project began, and the wait for its completion continues. One of the main concerns about Toy Story Land has been the lack of shade and seating, especially in the area of Woody’s Lunch Box. Until Roundup Rodeo BBQ opened in 2023, Woody’s Lunch Box was the only dining venue in the land without covered seating, and this situation still persists.For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
