I finally had a chance to see Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The one word to describe it is immersive. Every aspect of TSL is themed to perfection.

It’s called Parkeology, and it has interesting articles. Its big claim to fame, however, is that it hosts the WDW47 Challenge. The challenge? Ride all 47 […]
