Disney Removes ‘Toy Story’ Property From Public, Effective Immediately

It’s Monday, April 6, and one of the most popular Toy Story (1995) properties has been removed from the attraction line-up at Disney California Adventure Park. Here’s what Disneyland Resort guests need to know.

Toy Story Midway Mania! Closure

In February, Disneyland Resort announced that Toy Story Midway Mania! would close for refurbishment beginning April 6, 2026. The Southern California vacation destination didn’t share any details about the maintenance project or indicate when the Pixar Pier attraction would reopen.

The Disney California Adventure Park ride is now officially closed and listed as unavailable on the Disneyland Resort website and app. Disney encourages guests to “check back here for updates.”

Potential Reopening Timeline

Though Disneyland Resort hasn’t shared much about the Toy Story Midway Mania! refurbishment or indicated a construction timeline, several simultaneous happenings could impact the ride’s reopening.

Disney installed Disneyland70 anniversary graphics and digital Easter eggs on the interactive shooter ride last year. Disneyland Resort’s 70th anniversary celebration officially concludes on August 9, so if Toy Story Midway Mania! remains closed until then, it’s possible that Disney is using this time to revert the ride to its normal state.

Additionally, Toy Story 5 (2026) premieres on June 19, so Disney may be secretly adding references to the upcoming film to the Pixar Pier attraction. Interestingly, another Toy Story ride at Disneyland Park, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, is also closing for an indefinite refurbishment on April 13.

With two Toy Story attractions simultaneously closed for refurbishment, both may be getting some additions for the upcoming fifth installment of the Pixar franchise. Still, it’s also possible that Disneyland Resort expects additional traffic to the attractions when the film premieres, and is simply performing some invisible maintenance and cosmetic touch-ups in advance.
