Disney•Pixar Toy Story Land

Step into Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land at Shanghai Disneyland and feel as though you have been shrunk down to the size of a brand-new toy in Andy's backyard. Giant building blocks, board games, toy packaging and character figures line the pathways, while Rex, Woody, Jessie and Slinky Dog become part of the experience. With both family-friendly spinning rides and the much more thrilling Rex's Racer, the land is worth treating as a complete stop in your park itinerary.

About Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land is set in Andy's backyard. As guests enter the land, they appear to shrink to the size of a toy, surrounded by oversized building blocks, game boards, packaging boxes, toy parts and everyday objects that create a colorful and playful environment.

The land has three main attractions. Rex's Racer is designed for guests who enjoy high-speed climbs, drops and strong moments of weightlessness. Woody's Roundup offers a spinning ride with noticeable side-to-side swinging, while Slinky Dog Spin has a gentler pace that works well for younger children and families. Their different height requirements and thrill levels make the land suitable for a wide range of ages and ride preferences.

Beyond the attractions, the land also includes Meet Your Favorite Toys at The Meeting Post, Toy Soldiers Bucket O' Fun, Lotso Lunch Box, Toy Box Café and Al's Toy Barn. Guests can combine rides, character encounters, interactive entertainment, dining, shopping and photos in a single visit. Character appearances, entertainment schedules and operating hours may vary by day.

Things to Do in Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

Attractions
Rex’s Racer at Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land in Shanghai Disneyland

Rex's Racer

Board a remote-controlled race car that speeds forward and backward along a giant U-shaped track, climbing higher with each pass. This is the most intense attraction in the land and should be a priority for first-time visitors who enjoy weightlessness.

Attractions

Woody's Roundup

Climb aboard one of the ponies at Woody's ranch and spin and swing to the music. The attraction has a minimum height requirement of 81 cm. It is less intense than Rex's Racer, although the side-to-side movement may feel stronger than it appears from outside.

Entertainment

Toy Soldiers Bucket O' Fun

The Green Army Men present an outdoor entertainment experience featuring music and audience interaction. It generally does not require the same kind of long wait as an attraction and can be enjoyed while passing through the area, although it is still worth checking the day's performance times.

Dining
Toy Story themed food and drinks at Shanghai Disneyland

Try Toy Story-Themed Food

Photo Spots

Take Photos in the Toy-Sized World

The large Woody and Jessie figures, the U-shaped track of Rex's Racer, giant building blocks, game boards and toy packaging all make recognizable photo backgrounds. Daytime is best for capturing the land's bright colors, while the illuminated Rex's Racer and surrounding atmosphere look especially good in the evening.

Is Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land Suitable for Children?

Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land is well suited to families, although the three attractions have very different height requirements and thrill levels.

Slinky Dog Spin has no minimum height requirement and is suitable for younger children. Woody's Roundup requires guests to be at least 81 cm tall and includes spinning and side-to-side swinging. Rex's Racer requires guests to be at least 120 cm tall and features fast forward and backward movement, steep climbs and drops, and strong moments of weightlessness.

For younger children or those who do not enjoy thrill rides, prioritize Slinky Dog Spin, character encounters, themed food and photos. Children who meet the 120 cm height requirement but are uncomfortable with heights, fast backward movement or weightlessness may still find Rex's Racer too intense.

All three attractions are outdoors. During hot weather, rain or unstable conditions, adjust your order based on current operating status. Families traveling with children who cannot ride can also ask Cast Members about Rider Switch.

A Good Strategy for First-Time Visitors

Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land works best when its major experiences are completed during one visit. It is not ideal to ride Rex's Racer and immediately leave without exploring the rest of the land.

Using an Early Park Entry Pass

If Rex's Racer is one of your priorities, use the Early Park Entry period to reach Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land as early as possible and ride it first.

Afterward, continue with Woody's Roundup and Slinky Dog Spin, then schedule a character encounter based on the operating hours at The Meeting Post. This is generally more efficient than returning to the land later in the afternoon.

Without an Early Park Entry Pass

Without Early Entry, use the current wait for Rex's Racer to decide your order:

  • If the wait is manageable, ride Rex's Racer first.
  • If the line is too long, start with Woody's Roundup and Slinky Dog Spin.
  • If meeting Toy Story characters is important, confirm the operating hours of The Meeting Post first.
  • Consider Disney Premier Access when your time is limited or the Rex's Racer wait remains long.
  • Check the wait again in the evening, but do not leave the attraction until too close to park closing.

How Much Time Should You Allow?

  • Rex's Racer only: Allow for the actual wait, plus approximately 15–25 minutes for walking, storing personal items and experiencing the attraction.
  • All three attractions: Allow approximately 1.5–2 hours, with additional time needed on busy dates.
  • Attractions, character encounters, dining, shopping and photos: Allow approximately 2–3 hours.
