"Hong Kong Disneyland features an almost identical land, named simply Toy Story Land (Traditional Chinese: 反斗奇兵大本營). This expansion area is exclusive within Asia to Hong Kong for five years from the date of its opening. The land is themed identically; using bamboo to act as giant blades of grass surrounding the area, the use of many themed props and characters from the Toy Story films such as a giant Woody, a giant Rex, an oversized paper plane and also a large ball from the first Pixar short, Luxo Jr. The land opened on November 18, 2011. The land is located on the west side of Hong Kong Disneyland, behind Fantasyland. It has been rumored that the widely popular Toy Story Midway Mania! attraction, found in Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort, and Tokyo DisneySea at the Tokyo Disney Resort may be built here in a few years time.

On February 6, 2013, a new shop named Andy's Toy Box has been opened, next to RC Racer.

Founded by Walt Disney to oversee the production of Disneyland, it was originally known as Walt Disney, Inc. then WED Enterprises, from the initials meaning "Walter Elias Disney", the company co-founder's full name.

Imagineering is responsible for designing and building Disney theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, and other entertainment venues at all levels of project development.
