“Hurry, hurry! Woody, Buzz, and all their pals have set up the Midway Mania play center just for you! It’s a ride that’s a game; it’s a game that’s a ride. Step right up and see what’s inside!” – Mr. Potato Head

Toy Story Mania is a fun-filled, carnival style attraction reminiscent of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in the Magic Kingdom. Like its Tomorrowland counterpart, your mission is to fire at a wide variety of targets and collect as many points as you can. But be prepared! The action here is a lot more frenzied, and you’ll also thrill at the added element of 3D action.

The fun begins as you enter the queue…you’ll find yourself shrunk to the size of a toy. The queue area itself is filled with all sorts of oversized retro toys and board games, including Tinkertoys, Scrabble, and a Barrel of Monkeys. Soon you’ll grab a pair of 3D glasses and board your ride vehicle, and that’s when the real action begins!

You’ll encounter a series of carnival games, each one designed to put your shooting skills to the test. Fire away at as many targets as you can find, and be sure to keep an eye out for the elusive ones, they’re usually worth big points. Also, each game is filled with hidden targets that are revealed when other targets are hit, that’s where you can really rack up a big score.

Each game lasts only about a minute, so you have to work quickly. It helps if you work with the person next to you to reveal hidden targets. Don’t worry if this is your first time, you’ll get a chance to practice as Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and Rex hold targets for you to shoot pies at. There’s no scoring here, but it will give you the chance to become familiar with the spring-action shooter.

After you’ve completed all the games, it’s time to find out your score and see what virtual prize you’ve won. You’ll also get the chance to compare your total with the top three scores of the day, as well as the top score for the month. No matter what your score, one thing’s for certain. This is the wildest, whackiest carnival midway you’ll ever see, and you’ll definitely want to come back for more!

Magical Moments

As you wind your way through the queue, you’ll hear a familiar voice calling all Guests to come and play. Located toward the end of the standby queue is one of the most advanced Audio-Animatronics at Walt Disney World: Mr. Potato Head. The famous toy spud from all three Toy Story movies is dressed in his best barker outfit, complete with a straw hat. What makes Mr. Potato Head so advanced is his fluid motion and unique interactive ability. Voiced by legendary actor Don Rickles (who also voiced the character for all three Toy Story films), Mr. Potato Head interacts with individual Guests.
During his routine, Mr. Potato Head can pull his ear out and put it back…that’s pretty cool!
Be sure to look all around the queue area at all of the larger than life toys. In particular, keep an eye out for the giant View-Master discs. Neat! But where is the View-Master? Why, over at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin of course!

Hidden Mickeys & Other Secrets

Near the end of the standby line, there’s a Hidden Mickey in the spattered paint near the floor.
You can also find a Hidden Mickey in the clouds near a drawing of Woody.
Look for the Hidden Nemo made out of cut paper on the wall in the queue area.
At the end of the ride, look for a giant storybook. You’ll find an illustration of Tinny from the early Pixar short, Tin Toy.
Near the end of the ride, there’s a banner that reads “Circus Fun!” Look for a Hidden Mickey in the exclamation point.
During the final prize scene, Hamm is carrying $6 in change when his cork pops.

Did You Know...?

Each ride vehicle weighs as much as 8,580 Woody dolls and can hold up to four Guests.
It would take 5,026 toy soldiers lined up end-to-end to make up the total track length.
More than 150 computers communicate over multiple networks throughout the attraction.
Disney estimates that Guests break as many as one million virtual plates daily.
The View-Master cards in the queue line are four feet wide.

Touring Tips

Toy Story Mania is very popular; it’s not uncommon to see wait times of 120 minutes or more. The reason Toy Story Mania is so popular is its high re-ridability factor. Guests keep coming back to try to top their personal high scores.
FastPass+ is highly recommended for this popular attraction. If you don’t have one, your best bet is to try and get there as soon as you enter the park.
Here are some game tips:The first game is “Hamm and Eggs,” which is a game where you shoot eggs at different farm-related targets, such as pigs, hens, ducks, and barns.
Game Tip: Shoot the fox that is on top of the hen house and then shoot the chickens that come out of the house very quickly to score lots of points. Also, try to shoot two pigs on the fence. A cat will come out close to the barn. Keep shooting the cat every time he pops up for more points.
Next up is “Rex and Trixie’s Dino Darts,” which invites Guests to shoot darts at balloon targets in a primeval world filled with volcanoes and lava balloons. This replaced “Bo-Peep’s Baaa-Loon Pop,” which was a similar dart-based game.
The third game is the “Green Army Men Shoot Camp.” In this game, you shoot virtual baseballs at plates located all through the game screen.
Game Tip: Try to hit the plates that are thrown into the air at different times during the game. They are often worth a lot of points. Also, keep an eye out for helicopters carrying high point–value plates.
The fourth game is “Buzz Lightyear’s Flying Tossers.” This is an especially challenging game where you shoot rings onto different Little Green Men (LGM).
Game Tip: Try to quickly ring all the LGMs in the ship in the center of the screen. If all can be ringed before they regenerate, a new target will appear, and you can quickly shoot rings into its mouth for increasing point values. This is best accomplished by working with a partner.
The final set of games is “Woody’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ Gallery.” In the first part, you shoot suction-cup darts at Western-themed targets. The object of this game is pretty simple: Shoot as many targets as possible and then shoot the new hidden targets that are triggered. This game starts as a static shooting gallery, but it changes as you slowly move to a new set of screens for the final roundup. In the final roundup, there’s a set of four mine tunnels. The object of this game is equally clear: Shoot as many mine cars as possible.
Game Tip: Shoot the first three mine cars that come out and then shoot the two bats in the corner. Shoot another round of three cars and then shoot the bats again. All of the mine cars will have high point values from here on.
