Disney is now forced to get rid of a fun experience thanks to Guest behavior

Well, we can't say we did not see that one coming.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a table-service restaurant located in Toy Story Land. This marks the first table-service restaurant and the second dining location in the land. Woody's LunchBox opened with the land in 2018.

As you may suspect by the name, this restaurant serves up hearty meats and several flavorful sides. While this is not a character meal, it is prix fixe. That means you pay one price and receive as many plates as you desire. Pricing is $45/adult ages 10 and up and $25/child ages 3-9.

See what Disney did right and what they did wrong with the restaurant in this review.

Fun Experiences

The restaurant is essentially like stepping into the queue of Toy Story Mania. They do a few short audio sequences, including an "Andy's coming!" which is really cute. 

Additionally, they have stick horses for kids to play with during the meal, coloring sheets and pencils, and a giant pen to use when it's time to sign the check! These are really fun elements that we feel entertains kids and adds some fun shenanigans to the experience.

Rest In Peace, Giant Pen

During a visit to the restaurant in late April, we did not receive one of the giant pens to sign checks with. We thought perhaps it was just a one-off thing at first.

Then, we dined there again this past weekend, and we were not given pen again. Cast Members share there are not enough pens to go around anymore because Guests have been stealing them from the restaurant.

You may remember Guests were stealing the sporks from Docking Bay 7 and selling them online for a huge markup. Disney then made sporks available to purchase at Docking Bay 7. We are hopeful Disney may do the same with the giant pens at Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

Be honest: did you take a giant pen? Let us know in the comments below! Also be sure to share this post with a friend who was hoping to use the giant pen during a future visit.

  1. Hey Robin,
    When the last president won the election, I assume you are referring to the blowhard Trump, where were these morals when the rioting, burning of cars, beating up people?
    The only political agenda for the next four years was a rallying cry to....
    "Get Trump Out!!"
    So stuff your opinion, your ilk only detracts from any forward movement for the people that comprise our tarnished nation.
    The hatred of one political group for another was not the building block that our forefathers wanted to happen....the Brits made life miserable and a revolution evolved occurred.
    Your party is dispicable, blaming everyone else, not taking responsibility or remembering the rioting, burning and beatings of citizens that did not conform to your idiocy.
    Religious cults are formed by hatred and threat of death if one does not conform.
    Shame on you and all of the others that comprise a political cult.

  2. I am sure that the Multi-Billion dollar company will go bankrupt over some over sized pens. Especially at the price they are charging for the food there. Why not just raise the price by $2 per person and let you keep the pens, as a take home Souvenir of your experience?

  3. Disney make over billions of dollars you mean to tell me they only had six pens left I don’t believe it they should have a warehouse full of pens that was the theme with the giant pen I think that was something to rear you in now they holding back a bunch of bull believe that if you wanna

  4. Stealing is a crime and since the last president made being a horrible person acceptable, morals and values have declined in this country. Make America Honorable Again.

  5. I am.part of the LGTBQ+ It has become ridiculous with shoving our beliefs on anyone. We all have different morals and ways of living. I tell my kids that just like Christianity no one wants their beliefs shoved on them right? My mother-in-law retired from Disney with the ring. She would be rolling over in her grave if she knew what has happened with Disney. Now Black people cannot go to Disney as suddenly Florida is a bunch of racist. I lived in Plant City for many years and never saw racismlike they are claiming.

  6. Nobody cares about a giant pen like anyone ever said if they don't have the giant pen that is actually a pencil with a pen inside you can see the bic pen glued into it the pen if half the size of the hole they stick it in and who is going to admit to stealing the most evil mouse in history LoL

  7. so if you don’t support trans culture for children your automatically a redneck now? y’all say all that “coke as you are” & want to be treated kindly yet seek to often br the bully’s and throw rocks and hide your hand. let kids be kids they can figure things out in their own without their rude parents and disney shoving it down their throat.

  8. I had such a great time when I went to Woody's Roundup! The food was fantastic! We loved the fun atmosphere and the added "freeze" moments when Andy was coming! I did not get a giant pencil to sign my check and wondered why! I was sad I didn't get that experience too, but it was okay! I had no idea that awful people were to blame!shame on them! I am sad and really disappointed at the dishonestly and lack of integrity people show in situations like this! They've ruined it for everyone! Such JERKS!!!

  9. The prices for food are expencive. There is always someone who has to ruin the fun for everyone. Wheither it getting all the figment popcorn buckets to sell online or stealing thing like the giany pens or other thing to keep or sell. I agree that you should get more for your money, but stealing just ruins things for everyone else.
    Why you would want one of those pens?
    As to how someone would get it out, the park is so crowed everywhere that the cast memebers cant keep an eye on everyone. So it would be pretty easy to take. Disney is supposed to be a fun place for everyone, people need to start being more considerart of others there and think about other people before that act.

  10. This restaurant is terrible. The meat is inedible. Completely overpriced. I would not recommend to my worst enemy

  11. Greedy or not people know the prices when they go there. That doesn’t justify stealing. It’s like staying in an expensive hotel and stealing items from the room.

  12. Once again we have entitled people who think they’re justified in taking something just because they paid for the experience. Sadly this trend will only get worse not better.

  13. I definitely agree that at that price, a free giant pen SHOULD be included! That being said, I DO wish that all the kids could just leave their unpleasant redneck parents at home. Don’t worry, folks. I assure you: We have no interest in grooming your kids. My wife and I just think that rainbows, diverse people, and knowledge of actual American history are part of a healthy society. We don’t need the culture wars and fear mongering. Also, aren’t you people supposed to be boycotting Disney in support of Herr Governor?

  14. Disney, woke, overpriced and not worth it. It's sad people steal, takes away from others as well as price increases.

  15. $45 for an adult and $25 for kids is too expensive. Disney has become greedy. They should give everyone a giant pen for those prices.

  16. We stole a spork from docking bay 7 on opening day. We didn’t sell it though, it’s part of our regular cutlery drawer now.
