LOS ANGELES, Calif. (May 14, 2018) – Today BoxLunch announced the launch of a nationwide mall tour and exclusive merchandise in celebration of the opening of Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios® at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida. Slated to open on June 30, Toy Story Land is an immersive eleven-acre experience, recreating Andy’s toy-filled backyard from the Disney•Pixar Toy Story films featuring Woody, Buzz, Jessie and all of their playtime pals. The Toy Story Land Mall Tour powered by BoxLunch brings a preview of Andy’s backyard to your backyard with several surprises along the way.
The Toy Story Land Mall Tour powered by BoxLunch begins on May 19 in Southern California and ends on June 24 in Florida, just in time for the Toy Story Land grand opening. The tour will feature interactive photo booths, sneak peeks at the Toy Story Land concept art and giveaways. At select events, special guests will stop by the tour including a fan-created, life-size Pizza Planet Truck replica. The Toy Story Land Mall Tour powered by BoxLunch dates include:
· 5/19 & 5/20 Southern California/Brea Mall (Brea, CA)

As an added treat for Toy Story enthusiasts, BoxLunch is also giving fans a chance to win a 4-night/5-day Walt Disney World® Resort vacation to “Play Big” at the brand-new Toy Story Land! Enter the “Play Big” Sweepstakes at Boxlunch.com/playbigsweeps.
The reimagining of Disney’s Hollywood Studios will take guests to infinity and beyond, allowing them to step into the worlds of their favorite films, starting with Toy Story Land. This new 11-acre land will transport guests into the adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard. Guests will think they’ve been shrunk to the size of Woody and Buzz as they are surrounded by oversized toys that Andy has assembled using his vivid imagination. Using toys like building blocks, plastic buckets and shovels, and game board pieces, Andy has designed the perfect setting for this land, which will include two new attractions for any Disney park and one expanded favorite.
