I haven't been to DHS since Toy Story Mania opened but I have to think it's just as popular. Any thoughts?

I also wouldn't discount the fact of the intent of the ride vs the characters. Would it be just as successful had it been with Mickey n Friends or other non-pixar characters? My thoughts would be pretty much yes as I personally like the concept and don't really care what characters are involved...

We were able to get a FP when we arrived to use later, and got in a 10 minute line to ride right away , twice. I think we got three or four rides in, one late morning/afternoon visit. Late January is a great time to visit! Only Soarin had long lines but we worked the FPes for this one. I really did like Toy Story Mania, the Pixar Plaza, Que and ride. Can't wait for Toy Story 3!

I think part of that has to do with its location because they midway back there is really tight and is heavily trafficked anyway. We got there at 11:30pm or so and the Fastpass return time was 7 hours later. That said, it was a pretty good ride. So much so that we bought the Wii game of the same name.
