Woody has his scarf back, and up close, the giant ornaments under the Toy Story Land sign show Buzz in space and a Woody's Roundup scene with Jessie and Bullseye.
Toy Story Land is officially in holiday mode at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
WDWNT posted photos Monday morning, Nov. 9, of the Christmas decorations in Toy Story Land and Pixar Place. The big one is at the entrance. The giant Woody statue is wearing his red and white striped scarf again, and the Toy Story Land sign is wrapped in green garland with oversized ornaments.
Those ornaments are the detail to zoom in on. There are three, and only two of them got the Toy Story treatment:
The blue one has a green top and base and shows Buzz Lightyear flying through the galaxy.
The teal one has a cowboy scene straight out of Woody's Roundup, with Woody, Jessie and Bullseye.
The purple one has gold details and no Toy Story art at all. Every family photo needs one plain cousin.
WDWNT also spotted oversized retro "Merry Lights" tucked into the shrubs along the entrance wall. They glow red, green, yellow and blue, like a string of old-school bulbs that wandered out of Andy's attic.
What Christmas decorations are in Pixar Place?
Pixar Place, the area right next door, got a lighter touch. The building facades and lampposts are decorated, and each lamppost has a gold tinsel star at the top. Some are also wrapped in green tinsel garland, WDWNT reported.
Nearby, above the entrance to the character meet spots, a long red garland runs across the awning. It's packed with multicolored ornaments, paper chains and toys like trucks and planes, like a toy box that got into the holiday spirit.
Is this the same Toy Story Land decor as last year?
Mostly, yes. WDWNT's Nov. 5, 2025 coverage also showed Woody in a red and white scarf and large ornaments hanging from garland under the sign. Pixar Place had green tinsel lampposts and golden tinsel stars last year, too.
WDWNT didn't say whether this year's ornament designs are new. Last year's report described them only as large ornaments, so the Buzz and Woody's Roundup art is the first detailed look we've seen.
Other returning touches from last year included:
Rex in homemade reindeer antlers
A Hamm sugar cookie propped up by a Green Army Man
Popcorn garland on Woody's Lunch Box
Green baubles with Little Green Men faces near Alien Swirling Saucers
We spotted Rex's antlers and the Hamm cookie in our Nov. 6 Hollywood Studios decor roundup, so the land has been decking itself out in stages.
What else is festive in Toy Story Land this year?
The music. Alien Swirling Saucers switched to its holiday playlist on Nov. 4. DJ Lilypad, the frog-shaped tablet from Toy Story 5, spins four songs through Jan. 6: "Deck the Halls," "Toyland," "Swirling, Swirling, Saucers" and "Joy to the Swirl," Disney Parks Blog announced in October.
Over on Hollywood Boulevard and Echo Lake, the big Christmas tree and Santa Gertie are back. And Jollywood Nights, the separately ticketed holiday party, runs on select nights from Nov. 7 through Jan. 5, 2027, the first time it has stretched into January.
Do you need a special ticket to see the Toy Story Land decorations?
No. The decorations are up during regular park hours, so any Hollywood Studios ticket gets you in. You don't need a Jollywood Nights ticket to see Woody's scarf.
A few tips if you're planning photos:
Go early. Toy Story Land fills up fast once Slinky Dog Dash gets rolling.
Shoot the ornaments up close. The Woody's Roundup details are easy to miss from the walkway.
Come back at dusk if you can. The Merry Lights in the shrubs make more sense once the sun goes down.
When did Toy Story Land first get Christmas decorations?
Toy Story Land opened on June 30, 2018, and it got its first holiday overlay that fall. WDWNT ran a first look at the decor in October 2018. By 2022, Woody's winter scarf and the giant ornaments on the sign were already holiday regulars, and Woody's Lunch Box had its popcorn and cranberry-style garland.
That's a lot of Decembers for one scarf. Somebody at Disney deserves a laundry budget.
