Toy Story Midway Mania!

Super fun ride. Although the theme of this ride is Toy Story and simple Midway games, this ride is amazingly sophisticated. The games are fun, and it is exciting to compete with other people in your group. My wife and I really enjoy this ride.

What’s not to like about reliving your childhood? Or, if you had a crappy childhood, about creating some new childhood-​type memories.
This is an unexpectedly fun ride. If you like the games play at your local summer fair, you’ll enjoy this ride. 3D glasses provided add a nice touch to the experience and both my girlfriend and I got carried away trying to get a high score. By the time you’re done with the ride, your hands might be tired.
It’s a fairly tame motion ride, there are some twists and turns but I don’t think the average carnival rider will be bothered at all. As you ride the track from station to station, you are turned 180 degrees and then jostled around a bit as you aim your blaster towards the targets. Pull on the knob-​on-​a-​string to fire and you are magically breaking plates, knocking down targets and ducking to avoid make believe target being tosses at your head. Quite fun and worth your time, with or without a child.
Don’t go to California Adventure without giving it a try. Have fun and see if you can score over 150,000! Enjoy!

Do it, just do it. Our new favorite ride. So much fun. When I finally compile my list of «Top Ten Reasons California Adventure Is Better Than Disneyland,» this ride will definitely make the list. Along with beer. Cold Mexican beer.

This is one of the coolest rides in California adventure, usually is like a 45 minute wait but the wait is worth it.

Can’t believe I never heard of this ride before. Well in all fairness, I hadn’t even gone to California Adventure until this year. My friend and I decided to hit this joint up on our second Disney trip (low key I’m trying review everything at Disney so bare with me). After I demolished her at Astro Blasters, she wanted revenge. Well like I said before, can’t beat a cheater muahahaha.
So anyways the line is not bad actually. Its another interactive ride very similar to Astro Blasters (which I barely tried for the first time that day). You sit in the ride and just shoot lasers at the target and at the end they tally up your points and see who wins between you and the person next to you on the ride. Its a super fun ride and I’m really getting into these interactive rides.
Overall, I’m starting to really enjoy California Adventure a lot more than the first time especially now that I’ve found this ride as well as the ice cream shop too. Its a solid ride thats fun for all ages. Ok now I’m starting to sound like a commercial.

This is a great ride! It’s a sort of video game where you shoot at targets for points. Compete with others in your cart to try to win! I wish this ride had Fastpass because the wait can get pretty long, upwards of 40 minutes. It is fun though…

A staple! Absolutely love this ride! You get to have some good fun. This is one of the few rides that I can honestly say has got it. You hop aboard your vehicle and it’s just pure fun as you try to get points by aiming at targets and pulling the cord of your shooter. The 3D glasses makes this extra fun!
One of the things I love most is that even if your ride gets stopped you still get to have fun and practice shooting the targets (they just don’t give points for it).
This ride is pretty safe overall, but for expectant mothers I’d say don’t let the safety bar get too close to you because some of the movements of the vehicle are pretty swift so hold on to your belly during those turns and have fun shooting at the targets :-D

This is my favorite ride at CA Adventure! We literally power walk/​practically run as soon as CA Adventure opens up for the day to do this ride repeatedly until the line starts building up. If you get there right at the start, you can ride 3 – 4 times with a 5 – 10 minute wait. Otherwise, there is always a wait of at least 30 minutes!
You get your 3-​Glasses and launch cannons at the target. It is super fun! I would say this is a must do while at CA Adventure, but at the same time I would not wait 1 hour for this ride. (No fast pass)

Definitely my favorite ride at DCA.
It is strange to me that they don’t have a fast pass option here. It was one of the longest lines (at 40 minutes) and at Disney World it is the most popular ride by far at Hollywood Studios. There is usually a line of 120 minutes at Disney World and it is the exact same ride! I had to ride it twice when I encountered a line of a mere 40 minutes.
I love this ride, because it is a competition between you and your seatmate. My husband and I can get really competitive. I’ve yet to beat him, but I will. Even though it is a 3D game, it seems pretty real. Like I seriously feel like I’m shooting rings (or darts/​plates/​etc) at toy story aliens (or plates… etc.). However, since it is made for kids, it is relatively easy to actually score points. That makes me feel good!
Worth the wait! Definitely ride this at least once.

My second favorite ride in the park after Tower of Terror. I just think this is the coolest ride/​game. The games are simple enough everyone can play, but challenging enough that I still haven’t got best score of the day. Ring the little green men is my favorite. Aim for the higher value green men in the corner.

The wait is long but the ride is worth it! After popping on your 3D glasses you are thrown into what looks like Andy’s toy box, but in this game YOU are the player. As your cart swivels around from screen to screen you use your air «gun» to shoot the moving targets. A fun and interactive game to bring the kid back out of you

The second best ride at Disney California Adventure, with also one of the great wait times. I mean a really long wait! Almost everyone loves this ride and the amount of time you’re waiting probably is a testament to that.
You sit down, put on your 3-​D glasses and start shooting things while you compete with your partner. This thing will hurt your hands and I’ve lost every single time I’ve played, but that only makes me want to come again.
It’s hard to explain this ride until you try it for yourself, but I will say it’s truly an amazing experience.

My group and I have never been on this ride before, so for the 1 hour wait during the crowded holiday season, this was a great ride! Though if I were to go on this ride again, I’d go during a slower day/​season, when I’m sure the wait isn’t so long.
While in line, Mr Potato Head makes a lot of hilarious comments and cracks jokes. In one instance, he says, «Since I’m a potato that’s commenting, wouldn’t that make me a comment-​tater???» Oh, silly Mr Potato Head. There are also cute posters that you and your friends and family may want to pose by when you’re in line.
The Toy Story aesthetic and décor throughout the entire ride is spot-​on! It’s quite like Astro Blaster at Disneyland in the Tomorrowland section, and you have to wear 3D glasses (supplied to you in line) and rack up points by shooting targets at the different stations throughout the ride, all of which vary by difficulty and values, For instance, a closer targer may be 100 points, and something that’s farther away in the back and moving around might go up to 5000 points.
This was so much fun, and I got 90s nostalgia, reminding me of the days when I played Toy Story CD-​ROM games.

Hands down this has to be one of my favorite rides in not only Disney California Adventure, but in all of both parks!
Toy Story Midway Manis pits yourself and your partner against each other by hitting many targets with the gun that’s attached to the car, all while wearing 3D glasses! Yes, this competitive ride will leave your arm sore afterwards but it is so much fun that you won’t care! There is always a long wait. It is much more fun with somebody next to you competing. It’s more boring if you ride it alone.
The best time to get on this ride without the long wait times is to go right after the World of Color showing! That is usually the time I take advantage and get on!
Competition overall is what makes this ride one of the best in the park.

Save up your energy and prepare for a sore arm!
It’s been awhile since I’ve been back to DCA, but the last time I was here; Midway Mania had JUST opened up but the wait times were ridiculous so I didn’t go. However, I’m glad I went twice this time because it’s sooo fun. My boyfriend liked it so much he wanted to go again. I think Midway Mania is well done, and much better than its Disneyland counterpart Astro Blasters. The games are easy enough and there are special ways and bonuses for you rack up your score. (If the wait time is longer than 20 minutes and you’re with a partner– I highly recommend you google them for special Easter eggs and bonus rounds!)
Because you can shoot as much as you want, I will warn you that by the end, your arm WILL get sore and it WILL get harder to shoot (the «shooting» device is a cannon that you pull to shoot with a string, so it’s not as simple as pressing a button like in Astro Blasters!) I’d save up my strength and fight like mad during that last game– you may find yourself in a good situation if you do!

Prepare for a sore arm. Toy Story Midway Mania is one of my favorite rides in Cali Adventure. Other than the line being one of the longest ones in the park, it’s worth it. The cool 3D interaction on multiple stages/​games are always fun and great for the whole family.
No fast pass or single riders unfortunately. Just grab a churro or other snack to munch on during the line and you’re golden.

It’s a traditional midway game/​ride in one. It’s super fun to team up with friends/​family and be competitive with the scores.
My hubby and I had a great time here and hubby got the best score of the day; no prize though ;(

Every time I go to Disneyland and California Adventure I am even more blown away and impressed than the time before!
This ride is no exception!
I am going to let you know now when you get to California Adventure first thing in the morning you need to head straight over to this ride. Why you may ask? Because its one of the few rides without a fast pass option and it is by far one of the most popular rides in California Adventure right now!
At all times of the day the wait time for this ride never really drops below 90 minutes!
Do yourself a favor and get there first thing so you can experience this great ride! They really went above and beyond for this ride!
Must must must see while your here!

Of all the times I have been to Disney California Adventure, I have never been on this nor entertained the idea to take this for a spin! I had no idea what it was about! Thank goodness I came with a friend who knew what fun this ride was and recommended we go!
TIP: Don’t look for a FASTPASS! Everyone must endure the wait!
Bring your patience as you will more than likely wait for quite a while to enjoy this attraction! It is a 3D ride. You will need to pick up your glasses as you get near the entrance point to the ride. This ride is suitable for just about everyone!
This is such a cute Toy Story Shooting Arcade Game style of ride. I love the cannon and shooting the targets! You get to practice before things get serious! No, I’m joking about the serious part. It’s all fun!
In your car, there is a split screen so you can compare scores with your partner. Be sure to check out the high score as you are whisked out of the game area. I am amazed! I have gotten quite pathetic scores, but I sure have a lot of fun!
If you are a kid or a kid at heart, you will love this shoot ‘em up ride!

This ride is a fan favorite and you just have to experience it to understand why! Is it a game? Is it a ride? Why yes! It is both!
I know the long lines tend to turn people away, but don’t let it deter you from experiencing this attraction. But make sure you warmed up before you got in there. The fast acting game action could easily aggravate your tennis elbow!
