Soak Up the Ambiance While we’re talking about all the fun things there’ll be to do in Toy Story Land, let’s not forget to mention that by entering this fun-filled area, you will “shrink down” to become an honorary member of Andy’s toybox.

4. Buy New Merchandise No land in Walt Disney World, regardless of which park we’re talking about, would be the same without some level of themed merchandising.
