June 17, 2024

Toy Story Mania was an instant hit when it opened its Midway doors at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts in 2008. The attraction immediately soared in popularity and has been a favorite for Disney theme park goers ever since – and it will likely remain a top experience for years to come!

Toy Story Mania features many of the beloved characters from its namesake movie, and is a wonderful ride for every age. After boarding a carnival car, you’ll jump right into action and test your sharpshooting skills as you compete in five unique and exciting midway-style games in 4D. There is never a dull moment as you move quickly from one game to the next!

Speaking of the friendly competition that awaits you on Toy Story Mania, how about impressing your fellow riders on your next visit? Get ready to pull strings and “reach for the stars” with these pro tips to help you achieve your best score – and bragging rights too!

GAME 1 (Hamm and Eggs): Look for a fox at the bottom of your screen, and try to hit him. If you’re successful, high-value chickens will run out. Be sure to also keep your eyes out for a mouse sitting on top of the barn. If you hit him, the barn will flip over and release additional high-value mice. Take aim at those high-value mice for more points.

GAME 2 (Dino Darts): Aim for the lava balloons near the top of the volcano in this game. If you can hit them, you’ll trigger an eruption and the volcano will release tons of high-value balloons. If you see meteors appear, shoot those for a meteor shower of additional balloons and another chance to add to your score.

GAME 3 (Shoot Camp): Focus on the top left- and right-hand corners of your screen for two 2000-point dinner plates. If you can get both, this will unlock a tank in the middle of the screen that will release 5000-point plates.

GAME 4 (Flying Tossers): Work together with the person you’re riding with to ring all the aliens as quickly as possible to reveal a giant robot. Toss rings into the robot’s mouth for more points. If the robot closes his mouth, you can reactivate him by tossing rings over the rockets on each side of the screen.

GAME 5 (Shootin’ Gallery): Hit the bullseyes as fast as you can so they can clear out and release new higher-value bullseyes. Also aim for the targets under the tree with the vulture, under the snakes, and under the gophers for the highest point values in this game.

Whether your goal is to improve upon your previous score, come out on top against the friends or family you’re visiting with, or simply to soak in the joyful nature of the attraction, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time on every Toy Story Mania ride!
