Disney Upends Toy Story Land with Character from Future Movie
Disney has confirmed that Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios will be getting an update. Starting September 25, Lilypad from Toy Story 5 (2026) will take over Alien Swirling Saucers as its new DJ, bringing a new soundtrack and updated theming to the attraction.
The change breaks Disney's own rule that guests have shrunk to the size of toys in Andy's backyard. This was established when the land first opened on June 30, 2018, and has been a key part of its design ever since.
Adding Lilypad creates an immediate problem with the original storyline. The character comes from Toy Story 5 (2026), while Toy Story Land exists within a version of Andy's childhood that predates the character by decades.
