TOY STORY MANIA OPENING JUNE 17, 2008

PASSHOLDER PREVIEW JUNE 9-12

(ONLINE SIGN-UPS THROUGH MAY 28)

"Toy Story Mania" is the newest attraction coming to both Disney World and Disneyland.

Based on Pixar's Toy Story movies, this high tech ride will put guests in the midst of a classic midway game. After putting on your 3-D glasses, you'll "shrink" to toy size and careen your way through the midway.

Armed with your own toy cannon, you'll take aim at the targets at the game booths you encounter along the way. Cheering you on will be Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Hamm and the Green Army Men. Find a hidden target and you'll rack up even more points as you compete for the highest score.

What's a midway without a barker, and who better to play the part than Mr. Potato Head? In what's being billed as the next generation of audio animatronic's and "living character" program, Mr. Potato Head will be able to talk to you as you wait in line.

"Toy Story Mania" promises to be a different experience each time you climb aboard and set out on its unpredictable course and is designed to appeal to all ages.
