Like all of Toy Story Land, Roundup Rodeo brings to life the stories, characters and heart from the award- winning Disney Pixar “Toy Story” films. It is a place where guests shrink to the size of toys and feel like they have stepped into a clever, whimsical world filled with beloved toys.

Welcome to the Rodeo!
Andy has created a new rodeo arena for all of his favorite toys, featuring game pieces and iconic “Toy Story” characters, stickers and more. Imagineers worked closely with Disney Pixar Animation Studios to bring the space to life, developing unique designs and artwork that can only be found in the restaurant. “We are thrilled to work with our partners at Disney Pixar Animation Studios to create this unforgettable dining experience that blends great food, storytelling and whimsy,” said Ben van Beusekom, senior artisan specialist, Walt Disney Imagineering. “A visit to this special place is a must for Toy Story fans who have come to love Andy and his toys as much as we do.”
