In honor of Toy Story 5, Disney shared tips and tricks for scoring on Toy Story Mania / Toy Story Midway Mania at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney California Adventure, and Tokyo DisneySea.

Toy Story Mania Tips

The first big tip is that Rex gives hints during each game so make sure to listen for his voice.

At the Hamm & Eggs “booth” hosted by Hamm and Buttercup, listen for Buttercup’s cue to aim for the fox in the henhouse door. Hitting this target triggers a rush of high-value chickens to spill out from the henhouse, giving you a prime opportunity to rack up points. Keep returning to this target whenever possible to maximize your score.

The second game is Rex & Trixie’s Dino Darts, where darts sometimes bounce off balloons and create chain reactions. Stay focused on clustered targets to take advantage of the ricochet opportunities.

As the game counts down to extinction, a sequence begins at the base of the volcano. Aim to pop all three vertical balloons positioned along the front each time they appear to trigger an eruption that sends a flurry of 500-point balloons into the air.

After the eruption, look to the skies where two meteors will soar into sight on both corners of the screen. Relying on collaborative timing and coordination, work with your ride partner to hit these targets repeatedly, which can set off a full-blown meteor shower filled with bonus balloons and lead to one of the highest scoring boosts in the game.

Moving on to Green Army Men Shoot Camp, look for the gold 1,000-point plates near each side of the booth. Hitting these adds to your score and triggers a toy cannon animation.

Try to coordinate with your partner to hit the two 2,000-point plates thrown into the air on both sides of the mountain. If you both break each dish on the same toss, a tank may also appear, yielding high-scoring plates.

At Buzz Lightyear’s Flying Tossers, keep an eye just beyond the rocket ship in the center, and you’ll spot Aliens on flying saucers worth 5,000 points each.

At the start of the round, work together with your ride partner to quickly land rings on all the Aliens positioned on the rocket ship in the center of the screen. If successful, you’ll unlock a secret “level” where a giant robot suddenly appears on the screen. Aim for the robot’s mouth to score big and don’t give up – the point level keeps increasing each time this robot opens their mouth.

At the Woody’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Shootin’ Gallery, if you and your partner work together to hit all the targets in the gallery (plus ones that are eventually revealed) at least one time before the vehicle starts to move, all targets will pop open at once.

As the Bonus Round begins, keep an eye out for bats along the top of the screen as a way to boost your score.
