Alien Swirling Saucers is themed around Toy Story’s vending-machine aliens and their obsession with The Claw. About a dozen ride cars move, whiplike, in a figure-eight around two circular tracks embedded in the ground. The ride experience is actually much milder than the Magic Kingdom's Mad Tea Party.
Touring Tips

X markers mean Lightning Lane was gone more than 50% of the time for that selection time and crowd level.
