Magic Kingdom Reopens Diamond Horseshoe for Jessie’s Roundup

The short, interactive Toy Story show offers air‑conditioned family entertainment that ties into Walt Disney World’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER promotion.

Overview

  • The Diamond Horseshoe reopened with Jessie’s Roundup, which began late May as part of Walt Disney World’s Cool KIDS’ SUMMER program and is scheduled to run through September 8, 2026.
  • The production alternates between two roughly 15‑minute performances: a high‑energy Jessie‑and‑Woody dance number and a music‑forward segment featuring Bullseye and a live guitarist.
  • The venue adds hands‑on activities, games for children, roaming characters and deputy star stickers on entry to provide quick, photo‑friendly interactions instead of long character meet lines.
  • Design choices lean on nostalgia and park continuity, with Woody’s Roundup decor and woodland critter cutouts that echo the prize icons from the Toy Story Mania attraction.
  • Reusing the long‑dormant Diamond Horseshoe marks a deliberate, heritage‑driven offering for families and acts as a timed cross‑promotion ahead of Toy Story 5 while providing an air‑conditioned break that could smooth guest flow across the park.
