One of our favorite things about Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting the chance to learn about the magic behind the movies at attractions such as Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show and the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular!

Join Your Toy Story Friends on a 3D Adventure on Toy Story Midway Mania at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

You know the routine. Arrive at Disney's Hollywood Studios for rope drop, and once you're through the gates it's time for the Toy Story Sprint as you run (or walk really fast) to Pixar Place, home of Toy Story Midway Mania.

Once you reach your destination, if the queue isn't too long you'll hop in line for the first ride of the day after obtaining FastPasses for a ride later in day. We've all done the Toy Story Sprint at one time or another during our Walt Disney World vacation, and it's so worth it.
