Woody and Jessie at their Toy Story Land meet-and-greet

Meet Woody and Jessie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Howdy, Sheriff! We’re off to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see if we can round up a couple of favorite Toy Story characters, namely Woody and Jessie. The pair meets together daily in Toy Story Land, and their good friend Buzz Lightyear meets nearby. Below, we’ll go over the specifics of meeting Woody and Jessie. Be prepared. This duo often has a long line, so you’ll want to get in line as early as possible to meet them.

Woody and Jesse meeting a large group of guests in front of Toy Story Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

This character meet-and-greet is entirely outside, with only a few spaced-out umbrellas in the queue. Since this location is outdoors, it will be canceled in the event of rain or other inclement weather. Unfortunately, there is not much shade or cover in the immediate area. So, make sure to have an idea of where to go in the event of a pop-up rain shower. If possible, I recommend joining the standby line for Toy Story Mania. If not, the nearest place to wait out the rain would be One Man’s Dream. However, it’s a relatively decent walk to get there.

I got in line to meet Woody and Jessie at 4:07 p.m. There were about 25 guests ahead of me. At 4:23 p.m., the cast member attending the meet announced they would leave for a few minutes to take a break. She asked that everyone please remain in the line and that they would be back momentarily. Both Woody and Jessie left at 4:25 p.m. and returned at 4:33 p.m.

Thankfully, I was near the front of the line when they returned and was able to meet them at 4:34 p.m. Overall, my wait time was 27 minutes, which did feel considerably long given the heat. Jessie and Woody both wanted to pose separately. So, I took a few photos of Jessie first.

Then, I attempted to take a few photos of Woody.

But Jessie kept photo-bombing Woody. Never in my life did I expect to write about how fictional characters were photo-bombing each other, but here we are. Everyone had a good laugh.

Jessie blocks Woody from the photo.

Jessie finally mended fences with Woody, and they obliged me with a few photos of them together.

Jessie and Woody agree to take photos together.

I thought they turned out well.
