It'll be great. It is on the back side of the property, but there is a monorail stop you can use for those hotels. They were actually just starting on this project when I was there a few years ago as it was a thrid-party hotel that they bought and were changing.

How far away is it from WDW? We would have to Uber I guess.

Definitely need a car or Uber. It's SE of WDW near Kissimmee, south of 192. Google says about 25 minutes from Disney Springs.

If memory serves, the Toy Story Hotel should be right across the street from that monorail stop. I can't wait for this hotel to open and to get back to TDR. There's something especially magical about that resort.

Yes, it should be. I was at the Hilton Tokyo Bay which is on the corner. The monorail station is walkable from all of the hotels back there (it is the pink area toward the top). I believe the unlabeled area next to the Hilton is the Toy Story Hotel. The Monorail will head East from here, stopping at Tokyo DisneySea first, then the Resort Gateway (welcome center, Ikspiari (shopping mall), Ambassador Hotel), then Disneyland. Also, the Monorail there does require tickets, but they are relatively inexpensive and you can pay per ride or buy multi-day passes - just something to be aware of as it operates more like an actual subway/mass transit system.

This was an informative blog post, rather than an announcement.

Does anyone know how long the deluxe extra magic hours are supposed to continue for?

Indefinitely, as far as I am aware.

 

[BrianL]

Indefinitely, as far as I am aware.

Yes, it is as "permanent" as anything else at WDW. It may change, but it is not a limited-time offering or anything. It's the new status-quo for now.

Does anyone know what you can do if your dining reservation overlaps with your virtual queue return time? Thanks!
