Toy Story Midway Mania! Walt Disney World Gift Card Vacation (2010)

Toy Story Midway Mania! (also known as Toy Story Mania!) is an interactive 4-D theme park attraction located at three Disney theme parks: Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort, and Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort.

Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and inspired by Disney·Pixar’s Toy Story franchise, the attraction was first unveiled during a press conference at Walt Disney World in January 2007. The Florida version opened officially on May 31, 2008, on the same date that the Buzz Lightyear action figure launched onboard Space Shuttle flight STS-124 (whose objective was to deliver the largest module of the space station – Kibō, the Japanese Experiment Module pressurized section, developed by JAXA), while the California version officially opened on June 17, 2008. The Japan version of the attraction opened on July 9, 2012.

Park guests wear 3-D glasses (Carnival Games Goggles) aboard spinning vehicles that travel through virtual environments based on classic carnival midway games. Ride vehicles seat up to eight in four back-to-back pairs. Small children can also ride on an adult’s lap if facing forward with their legs securely underneath the safety bar.
