With the fantastic success of global franchises such as Pirates of the Caribbean and High School Musical, the park experiences they inspired are great examples of how Disney is extending the Company's creative products and offering theme park Guests unique experiences that can only be enjoyed at Disney destinations.
Toy Story Mania! – a ride-through, interactive adventure – is another uniquely Disney experience that will open this summer at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts. Guests will ride into a high-energy 4-D carnival midway as Toy Story characters Woody, Jessie, Buzz, Hamm and the gang come to life in amazing ways, enveloping Guests in the rich stories of the Disney•Pixar films.
At Disneyland Resort, Toy Story Mania! is part of a significant multi-year expansion plan that continues the Resort's growth as a world-class tourist destination. It will bring new entertainment and major familyoriented attractions to Disney's California Adventure, including an entirely new Cars Land inspired by the hit Disney•Pixar animated film Cars. The expansive program reaches throughout the Park with an amazing attraction inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid, a signature nighttime spectacular and the addition of the 12-acre Cars Land featuring the world of Radiator Springs and three new attractions.
Disney Imagineers will bring more of Walt Disney's spirit into Disney's California Adventure, by recreating the Park's Entry Plaza to reflect the 1920s Hollywood that Walt experienced when he arrived on a train from Kansas City with no more than a suitcase and unbounded imagination.
Guests entering the new Plaza will be transported to this world that inspired Walt during his early days as an animation pioneer. A new, interactive Walt Disney Story attraction, extensive landscaping and new retail and dining facilities will create an even richer environment throughout the Park in ways that reinforce Guests' connections with Walt.
Top: Toy Story Mania! will take the interactive ride-game experience to new heights, matching the films' characters with games that suit their animated personalities.
Bottom: A multi-year expansion at the Disneyland Resort will culminate with a new, 12-acre Cars Land, immersing Guests in a world inspired by the hit Disney•Pixar movie Cars.
