On March 23, Roundup Rodeo BBQ finally opened in Toy Story Land!
Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a new Toy Story themed restaurant. The coolest part is that at one point the Army men will tell you that there was an Andy sighting and everyone in the restaurant has to freeze until Andy passes by.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is also backyard barbecue themed and the story is that Andy has cut and taped cardboard boxes together to make a rodeo arena.
