But all of the potential mobs of little kids...They'll still have the restrooms right at the entrance connected to the TSMM building.

From the concept art Al's toy barn is going to be entrance/exit for toy story midway mania. It will also serve as the exit shop for the ride. The original did not have a shop at the exitThey would be so smart to capitalize on the success of landmarks from the movies. Put in a full scale Pizza Planet as the restaurant. Put in Al's Toy Barn as the store and make it a main shop at DHS. Put in an interactive que like Dumbo that is designed to be Sunnyside Daycare where kids can play while they wait. There are so many icons they could use that we know they are going to pass up...
Seems unlikely they'll do a Pizza Planet since they already have Pizzerizzo nearby. It would have to be a restaurant offering stuff not found elsewhere inside the park.
It's pretty clear from the concept art the Pizza Planet is not happening.
If the theme of the "immersive" area is Andy's backyard, then Pizza Planet or Al's Toy Barn, etc. wouldn't fit. I think someone above noticed that the concept art looks like it looks like the restaurant is among some discarded (giant) food containers.
QS seems a perfect fit for an area geared towards kids as long as their ample seating. Which means it will probably be basic "kid friendly" QS food similar to what you'd expect to find at Cosmic Rays -- burgers, hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, fries, chips, etc.
Maybe Al's Toy Bran will just be the exit/shop for the rideAl's Toy Barn was removed in the most recent concept art.

The original concept art made it look like the entrance to the land (with Al's Toy Barn right there) to be where Launch Bay is. I originally thought they would tear down Launch Bay and just have the main entrance be through the old Animation Courtyard.But as I just said, there is no Al's Toy Barn in the new concept art, and what is being built, very closely matches the art.

Still curious how that entrance area will be (and what they will do with the old Pixar Place street.
I hope they try to incorporate some healthier options into the quick-service. I'm betting on a picnic theme with some salad/fruit options, elevated hot dogs, etc. Maybe "The Slinky Dog" becomes the next butter beer.
A surly mermaid indeed!Whether or not a Pizza Planet restaurant fits in with this land it is appalling that they have had since 1995 to do this restaurant right and they just never did.
