…the day Toy Story Playland officially opens! Posters advertising the grand opening have been popping up all over Paris and the surrounding area since last week, in particular at the bus stops. Interestingly the marketing department of the resort decided to show the Sleeping Beauty Castle as prominent feature in the backdrop behind the new rides of the Toy Story Playland. It needs to be awaited whether this was a clever move or not – afterall a potential guests might get the wrong impression, that Toy Story Playland is part of the Disneyland Parc and not of the Walt Disney Studios.

But back to the opening. Today the blue construction fence closing off the new area will have disappeared and with it the posters telling guests that only inveted guests can visit Toy Story Playland. As of today every guests in the Walt Disney Studios will get shrunken to the size of Andy’s toys – if he wants. But what to do if you can’t be at the Walt Disney Studios for the opening today and can’t wait to get shrunk?

Well, if you got about one hour to spare later today at 12:30 pm (local time at the resort) head over to the official Facebook page of Disneyland Paris where an exclusive video stream running one full hour will be broadcasted to celebrate the official opening of Toy Story Playland.

In the meantime to keep you entertained a bit more while waiting for the stream to start you might want to head over to the YouTube channel of FilipV, webmaster of dlrpfans.be. He has prepared three HD videos of Toy Story Playland filmed during the recent previews.

P.S.: if you are on-site let us know what you think about Toy Story Playland!
