Too much Toy Story?

Is it just me or is there too much Toy Story in the parks?

I mean out of all the films Pixar has done for Disney, There are no attractions for Cars or Incredibles. I know Ratatouille wasn't a big hit and Wall-E is brand new, but they could incorporate Cars in with Test Track, or LMX, and Incredibles into something.

Just seems like over kill with Toy Story and Nemo.

Toy Story was the first Pixar/Disney film, so it had a head-start on all the other ones.
Plus, there are so many characters that people can relate to, so it's easily adaptable to a theme park experience.

I agree. I think it would be a horrible idea to put Cars into test track. I love Disney, but when they "Disne-fi" things too much it really bothers me.

ToyStory Mania was one of our favorite rides! My younger ones are in love with cars so I would love to see more of that on our next trip also.

I don't think there's too much Toy Story at all - and obviously Disney have done their research and know that this many attractions incorporating the characters from the movie will appeal to their visitors. You could say that about Finding Nemo, as that's had quite a bit open recently as well. Disney tends to go with what they know will be popular with their guests and I can't wait to try out Toy Story Mania in October.

I love the Toy Story theme and since it has longevity and will be popular for a long time it fits well for Dieny to use it to the max. Now Cars would be in the Indy speedway area. When we were in Disneyland we loved AUtopia... it was fun even for an adult. Maybe its becasue I am not a racing fan , but I ignore ISW at DisneyWorls. maybe if they changes it up and put in the Cars theme there. now that would be something.

Too much Toy Story???? That's just crazy talk! There can never be too much Toy Story (IMO)--- I would even love a Toy Story meal!

As far as Disneyfying attractions (that already exist) I usually really do agree (although I like Nemo/Living Seas). I would not want Cars added to Test Track (love that just the way it is)--- but I do think "Cars" would be a great enhancement to IndySpeedway.

Toy story seems timeless to so many children. I know my older nephews loved it at the time and my son who is 5 just loves Buzz and Woody...in fact the highlight of his trip was the stamp from Buzz in his book. I would however, love to see more of the Cars characters. My son was so disappointed to go to DS to find he was at Luigi's for a tune up. I think they should have done a little more with that! I would love for my kid's sake to see a PIXAR parade at WDW. Well, we may have to go to Disneyland now....Oh, bother another trip to plan!

Exactly! We never get tired of watching it It's a movie children and adults can relate to and it will end up a classic in my opinion. We can't wait to see Toy Story Mania!!!

Never too much Toy Story. Not at all. I would love an Incredibles ride though. That's one of my favorite movies ever.

I don't think there's too much Toy Story or Nemo. My daughter loves both (I enjoy them too) so those are all attractions we'll be hitting numerous times. As for an Incredible attraction - that's one I would definitely avoid as I think that's the worst Pixar movie I've seen so far. I'm sure Ratatouille is just as bad since the movie plot doesn't even sound interesting to me. I don't like mice and rats so therefore I don't want to watch a movie about them. Cars was a good movie, but I'm not that into cars (didn't even care for Test Track) so there's nothing they could incorporate Cars into that would interest me.

It's the only movie my dd 5 and ds 3 actually quote! "Angry eyes is a big one at our house along with "WHo's gonna miss me?". Everyone can relate to a beloved toy and the fantasy of them actually being alive!
