but in Toy Story Midway Mania! your vehicle passes through a totally virtual mid-
way, with booths offering such games as ring toss and ball throw. The pull-string can-
non on your ride vehicle takes advantage of computer-graphic image technology to
toss rings, shoot balls, and even throw eggs and pies. Each game booth is manned by
a
Toy Story
character who is right beside you in 3-D glory cheering you on. In addi-
tion to 3-D imagery, you experience vehicle motion, wind, and water spray. The ride
begins with a training round to familiarize you with the nature of the games and then
continues through a number of games in which you compete against your riding mate
for a higher score. The technology has the ability to self-adjust the level of difficulty,
and there are plenty of easy targets for small children to reach.
Tip:
Let the pull-string
retract all the way back into the cannon before pulling it again.

resort to getting some of the last FastPass+ reservations, and it extended our
day to wait until our return time came up. But oh my gosh, it was worth the
wait!
A woman from Aberdeen, Washington, was mostly frustrated:
We decided to risk the 70-minute wait for Toy Story Midway Mania! because
my family loves Pixar. The line is a nightmare—it took 2 hours to complete,
