Happy Anniversary Toy Story Midway Mania!
Posted by Ladyvader on May 27th, 2009 filed in Tales from Andy's Toy BoxMay 31st we will be celebrating a year in Andy’s Room. Just a few short months after opening we had our millionth guest. I really can’t imagine how many have been on it since.
I have been fortunate to go to the rope drop ceremony the last couple mornings. Facing down a few thousand people as they prepare to come into the park for the day. And my favorite thing to do is shout out , “How many are going to Toy Story Midway Mania first thing?” and just about everyone raises their hands. And I always laugh and joke with them about the fact so many toys are coming to visit!
The ride is still as popular if not more so then it was when we first opened. We still have kids crying when they have to leave the vehicle, and we still have guest lined up for hours. But even better we still have guests getting off of the vehicle and they still have smiles on their faces!
Of course there are those guests that are so frustrated with the wait in the long line, or the fact they missed out on fastpasses. But they are outnumbered by the guests that are having a great time.
I am not sure how long I will stay there. But until I can make a decision I will remain forever a toy in Andy’s room.

Can’t believe it’s been so long. I remember the Press opening last year and trying to sneak a ride. I think it’s one of the best rides Disney has ever had. Aubrey wore his Toy Story Mania shirt today. He loves that shirt (it was also the only shirt we could find with Buzz and Woody).
