Toy Story Mania

We met Uncle Bart at Disneyland late this afternoon. And the first thing we wanted to tackle was the new Toy Story Mania ride in California Adventure. It opened up last month, but due to long lines, we've not attempted it the last couple of trips. We got in line and it was posted a 60 minute wait, but I don't think it was that long. This Mr. Potato Head is something you encounter while in line. He's animatronic and talks and sings, and even pulls his own ear out!! It was pretty cool to see him in person.The ride vehicles sit four people, two back to back, and the car moves and spins. Steven and Hannah sat together, I sat alone, and then in the seats behind me, was Uncle Bart and Rachel. Inside the ride were a series of typical midway games you would find at a carnival. In addition to the coolness of the games, the decor and detail were amazing. It's too bad the ride vehicles move so quickly from one game to the the next. After dinner, and a few more things inside California Adventure, we headed across the way to Disneyland, in hopes of getting on the Finding Nemo submarines. Uncle Bart still hasn't been on that ride yet, but the line was too long so we skipped it. Maybe next time. We did a few more things and then ended our evening with ice cream sundaes!
