Toy Story Mania!

When to ride

Average wait by hour, from 5,354 of our own observations of this ride while it was open, over 17 days.

Rope drop or late. It holds a long wait through the middle of the day and the queue is largely indoors, which makes it more bearable than Slinky Dog's.

How the queue has changed

Its average posted wait was 53 minutes in 2017 and 29 in 2025–26 — down 45%. That is the 7th-longest average queue of the 12 attractions Queue-Times tracks at Hollywood Studios.

Open for 96% of park operating hours over Queue-Times' whole record, against a median of 90% for rides at Hollywood Studios; refurbishment closures count as closed. From Queue-Times’ published statistics, read 12 September 2026.

Is it accessible?

• You can stay in a wheelchair, which boards through a wheelchair access vehicle. An ECV user transfers to a wheelchair first.

What boarding is like

A wheelchair-accessible vehicle is available, so a wheelchair user boards without transferring; an ECV user transfers to a wheelchair first. Either way the cannon needs a pulling motion some guests find difficult, and alternative controls can be requested.

Our own record of this ride disagrees with Disney’s label above, and we have not yet resolved which is current. Treat Disney’s label as the rule and ask at the attraction before you queue.

What it’s actually like

Slow throughout, with the vehicle rotating between screens. No drops, nothing dark, nothing frightening. The only physical demand is repeatedly pulling a cord, which tires small arms over six minutes.

Common questions

Is there a height requirement for Toy Story Mania?

No. It is one of the few Hollywood Studios attractions the whole family can ride together, which is a large part of why the queue holds up all day.

Can you stay in a wheelchair on Toy Story Mania?

Yes, and it is the only ride at Hollywood Studios where that is true. Disney lists it as a Wheelchair Access Vehicle, which means a wheelchair user stays seated but an ECV user transfers to a wheelchair first. One caution either way: the cannon needs a pulling motion that some guests find difficult.

Is Toy Story Mania tiring for small children?

Mildly, and it is the only physical demand on the ride. You play by repeatedly pulling a cord, which tires small arms over six minutes. There is nothing frightening, no drops and nothing dark.

What is the best time to ride Toy Story Mania?

Rope drop or late. It holds a long wait through the middle of the day, and the queue is largely indoors — which makes it a better midday choice than the posted wait alone suggests if the alternative is standing in the sun.
