Toy Story Land is open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! From its opening day, the new land has been a hub of fun and excitement. As with all new things at Disney World, Toy Story Land has no shortage of fun, new merchandise. What should you buy? Where should you buy it? These great tips make Toy Story Land merchandise in Disney World easy to find.

Where to Buy Souvenirs in Toy Story Land
First, let’s talk about the fact that in Toy Story Land, there is no “exit through the gift shop” experience. In every theme park all over the country, most rides have a gift shop at their exit. If not to purchase souvenirs, they want you to buy a snack or drink or those awful ride pictures. Not so in Toy Story Land! A gift shop doesn’t fit the theme of being in Andy’s backyard.
Toy Story Land Merchandise Carts
Beverly Sunset
In addition to the two campers, check out the newly opened Beverly Sunset on Sunset Boulevard. Their shopping selection is somewhat different from the carts, but not much. Here, you’ll find pins, t-shirts, cups, slinky dog “ears,” glow necklaces, hats, and more! Additionally, check out Mickey’s of Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard and In Character in the Animation Courtyard for a smaller offering of souvenirs.
What Souvenirs to Buy in Toy Story Land
Now it’s time to talk about the good stuff! What can you buy in Toy Story Land? Hilariously enough, after our recent visit to Disneyland in July, I saw many of the same merchandise in Pixar Pier and Toy Story Land. Disney Parks and their merchandising team have gotten smart and decided to use the same merchandise across both coasts, making it “unique” by changing the name from Toy Story Land to Pixar Pier.
Plush Toys
A variety of plush toys are available, including the Little Green Men (aka “Aliens”), Buzz, Woody, Lotso, and Bullseye. If you can’t find these items specifically in Toy Story Land, they’re definitely available in other places in Hollywood Studios (and also in larger stores like Connections in Epcot or World of Disney in Disney Springs).
Pins
Light Up Toys
Necklaces, headbands, cups, and more offer guests the chance to light up their nighttime fun in Toy Story Land. My personal favorite light-up souvenir has been the Little Green Men light-up cup. The cup comes with a drink of your choice and a built-in straw. It is easy to remove for cleaning, and we have used it at home since our trip.
Wearables
The shirts offered are new designs, but the phrasing says “Opening Summer 2018.” Guests looking for any opening date merchandise will be out of luck. However, the baseball-style hats and child-sized backpacks are adorable and absolutely make up for the lack of “special” items normally offered during a grand opening. The newest “ears” being offered are the Slinky Dog style and light-up Little Green Men.

Save Money on Souvenirs
Lastly, there are a few ways to save on these Toy Story Land merchandise purchases. Annual Passholders can always receive up to 20% off select merchandising. Disney Visa Cardholders can save up to 10% on their purchases of $50 or more, but you must ask for that discount.
Additionally, if you’re not dying to have something in particular, you could always wait and see if it ends up at a Disney Store Outlet or the Character Warehouse in the Orlando Outlet Malls.
