# What changed at Alien Swirling Saucers Disney's Hollywood Studios updated Alien Swirling Saucers in Toy Story Land by installing Lilypad, a character introduced in Toy Story 5, as the attraction's DJ. The physical figure sits in the flowerbed area outside the ride and plays a new soundtrack while displaying animated visuals on her screen.
# Music: remixes and originals The new soundtrack mixes remixed versions of familiar Toy Story songs with original tunes written specifically for the updated attraction. Each track triggers a custom spinning-record graphic on Lilypad's display so guests can see which song is playing as they pass. Notable entries on the set list include:
- Spanish-language version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" recorded as "Hay Un Amigo En Mi."
- A remixed "You've Got a Friend in Me" with a fresh, energetic beat.
- "Woody's Roundup Remix," combining country elements with a high-energy tempo.
- "Spin It Back, Lilypad," an original track that introduces the Lilypad character musically.
- "Pizza Planet Promo," an original jingle themed to Pizza Planet.
- A "Partysaurus Rex Anthem," a surprise addition inspired by the Partysaurus Rex short.
These selections aim to refresh the ride's audio identity while keeping recognizable franchise motifs.
# Visuals and interactivity Lilypad does more than play music. Her installation includes animated vinyl record effects on a screen and interactive mini-games that guests can engage with while walking through Toy Story Land or waiting near the ride. The elements are positioned to enliven the area around the attraction and create momentary stop-and-stay experiences for families and visitors.
# Where to find Lilypad and when she launched The Lilypad figure and the updated soundtrack are located in the flowerbed area immediately outside Alien Swirling Saucers within Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The new DJ overlay and music officially rolled out in late September 2026.
# Why this matters for visitors For guests who frequent Toy Story Land or plan to ride Alien Swirling Saucers, the overlay changes the attraction's atmosphere. The updated audio and visual components create a livelier queue and nearby environment, offering extra entertainment even for people who aren't riding. The addition of original songs means there are new moments unique to this overlay that won't be heard elsewhere.
# Practical tips for guests
- If you want to hear the full playlist and see the animated record graphics, pause near the flowerbed outside the attraction and listen to multiple rotations.
- Families with young children may find the mini-games useful for short wait times or as a diversion while others ride.
Lilypad's installation updates the overall vibe of Andy's backyard at Hollywood Studios, adding a contemporary soundtrack and interactive features to a long-standing Toy Story Land attraction.
