Pixar Pier · Disney California Adventure
Toy Story Midway Mania!
About this ride
Vehicles seat two guests side-by-side, each with their own string-popper cannon. Five game sequences take guests through Hamm and Eggs, Bo Peep's Baaa-loon Pop, Green Army Men Shoot Camp, Woody's Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Gallery, and a bonus round. The 3D glasses, physical string-popper mechanic, and projected score displays create a genuinely fun, competitive two-player experience.
Best time to ride
Multi Pass or rope drop. Great as a midday option since the air-conditioned queue provides welcome relief from the heat.
Insider tips
- The trick shots earn massive bonus points — look for targets in unexpected places at the edges of each screen.
- In Hamm & Eggs, aim for the pigs with the highest point values, not the large stationary ones.
- In the final bonus round, fire as rapidly as possible — count of shots matters more than accuracy.
- Ride twice in a row to learn the high-value targets before going for your best score.
Good for
Mateo's Take
A great time for every member of the family simultaneously — which is rarer than it sounds. Multi Pass it, then ride a second time to apply what you learned about the bonus targets.
— Mateo, Lead Disney Parks Specialist
