If you are heading to Toy Story Land for the first time, I encourage you to check out my round-up of tips from bloggers, vloggers, and Moms.
Who can I Meet in Toy Story Land
Inside Toy Story Land you can meet:
- Buzz Lightyear
- Woody
- Jessie
- Green Army Men
We traveled to Toy Story Land in August of 2018, and here is where we found each of the characters.
Character: Buzz Lightyear
As you enter Toy Story Land you will be greeted by Woody with a large “Toy Story Land” sign. Directly after the welcome sign, the line forms to meet Buzz Lightyear. If you are coming to the land in the evening, he is in the same area just a little more into the land as there is better lighting for photos.
Our favorite Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear is available for photos from park open to park close (weather permitting). We found that the best time to meet Buzz was right at the park opened. Many people rush to the rides and miss the opportunity for character interaction.
Characters: Woody and Jessie
Woody and Jessie can be found just a few steps beyond the new entrance to Midway Mania. The absolute best time to meet them is right as you enter into Toy Story Land. During the morning Extra Magic Hour, the line for Woody and Jessie was only about 15-20 minutes.

Characters: Green Army Men (Green Army Brigade)
Walking around throughout Toy Story Land and interacting with guests you will find the Green Army Men. With the opening of Toy Story Land, they changed the name to Green Army Brigade in order to include women. There are also opportunities for toys (guests) young and old to play games with them. As long as the Army Men aren’t participating in an activity, you can approach them for a photo and autograph. The Army Men were one of the most fun parts of the atmosphere of Toy Story Land, simply because it’s not a common occurrence for characters to walk around freely among the toys (guests). I loved it!
Best Autograph Books and Alternatives
For our visit to Toy Story Land, we opted to use a Canvas panel to collect signatures. This was so that we would be able to use the signatures as artwork in our children room. My blogger pal Keri, as a whole post of ideas on autograph books, if you are looking for more creative approaches to gathering signatures.

Gosh this would be a dream! Thanks for the read.
Visiting Toy Story Land is amazing, so much fun for friends of all ages!
9 more days until my visit! I can’t wait!!
Lovely! My favorite is the drum line of the green army brigade! The imagineers wanted to be sure there was women included in the army so they no longer all them green army men, they call them the green army brigade because they added female soldiers! How neat and up to date!
Yes, I couldn’t remember the new name for them – so I stuck with the original for the post. <3 There were so many things I loved about TSL.
This looks so fun!!! I love Buzz Lightyear!
Buzz is a really fun meet and greet.
Great ideas to save parents time and long lines (which means whiney kids!). Thanks for the tips!
Such great tips for seeing characters in Toy Story Land. I hope to put these into use someday and visit myself.
