Toy Story Funhouse was an attraction located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park, themed around the 1995 Disney•Pixar film Toy Story. It opened on January 27, 1996.
The attraction permanently closed in May 1996[1] to make way for Redd Rockett's Pizza Port, later Alien Pizza Planet.
Prior to its run at Disneyland, Toy Story Funhouse was part of the “Totally Toy Story” event at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, the first of a long lineage of companion exhibits based on currently playing films. From November 22, 1995 through January 1, 1996, moviegoers could enjoy a first-run showing of Toy Story in the the theater, followed by a visit to Toy Story Funhouse in the next door Hollywood Colonnade. The price was $20 for adults, $15 for children 11 and under, $15 for seniors over 60, and $30 for VIP seats. It was then moved to Disneyland Park after the end of its run.[1]
