UPDATE On Disney World's NEW Toy Story Restaurant - Roundup Rodeo BBQ

If you thought you’d seen all 2022 has to offer in Disney World, you’d be mistaken!

There are still some character meet-and-greet and dining locations set to return this year. We also can’t forget about the mysterious Fantasmic! return, which we know will happen sometime in 2022. But that’s not all — there’s also an entirely new restaurant that will open this year in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Let’s take a look at Roundup Rodeo BBQ, coming soon to Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios:

Roundup Rodeo BBQ

This table service restaurant will be a sit-down barbeque joint. With the use of larger-than-life toys, guests will shrink down to toy size as they enter this dining location (like many other parts of the land).

Guests will dine among “play sets” of a western town and train station. There will also be a ton of Pixar character representation sprinkled throughout the restaurant.

Opening Timeline

Disney shared that the restaurant will open in 2022. However, a specific date hasn’t been shared by Disney quite yet.

With that being said, we spotted a permit online that points to progress at the upcoming restaurant. On August 3rd, a permit was filed requesting permission for “Fabrication & Installation of Set Pieces.” Perhaps this could be referring to the detailed décor this location promises to have!

Another permit was filed on the same day, for the same address, requesting permission for “Project T – Themed Facades.” Again, this could be referring to the displays needed to bring the restaurant to life.

Also, thanks to @bioreconstruct on Twitter, we can see the progress for the restaurant’s entrance. It’s coming along!
