Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

A Wild and Wacky Classic! Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a true gem and a must-do for anyone visiting Disneyland! My family and I had an absolute blast on this zany journey. It's a classic for a reason—the ride's quirky story, fast-paced twists and turns, and fun, vintage charm are just unbeatable. From getting into a car with Mr. Toad to his wild escapades, we were laughing and having the best time. The ride takes you on a surprising adventure that's so unique and memorable. It's a short but sweet thrill that leaves you smiling and ready to ride it again. A solid 5 stars—this ride is a total hoot and a highlight of our trip!

This is one of my favorite rides in fantasyland! We always go during Star Wars Nite so we never get a line to ride the ride. The whole ride from beginning to end is so amazing! I just love the nostalgia feel to it! My kids love this ride as well!

The Baseline: For a theme park attraction, a quality experiences must be provided, the attraction must be fun and engaging, an immersive environment must be established, the queue line must be themed, and safety must be a top priority. Attraction: Disneyland is the only place you can ride this ride. It is an original 1955 opening ride and is a dark ride experience through the Wind and the Willows. Nostalgia alone gets the 5 star rating but it is a genuine fun Fantasyland dark ride that takes you through London without having the long wait for Peter Pan. Queue: Relatively fast queue and wait time that is well decorated rendition of Toad Hall. There are some nice photo opportunities but this is a queue that is worth it if you see a 20 minute or less wait time for it.

Another fantasy land classic. A simple ride that I used to go on growing up, this ride is one of the older ones that’s nice to just sit and enjoy. It does have a weird message of going to hell but that’s what makes it unique too!

I like the ride but it could use some refurbishment, I would recommend watching “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad” or else the story of the ride will make no sense. Overall it is a good ride I would ride it if it is under 25 minute wait. Not a must ride, but if you have some time me to kill it would be worth a 25 minute wait.

really liked this ride. thought i wouldnt enjoy it. has an interesting story behind this ride i really liked the crazy facial expressions and the wheel in the car

My wife and I had a great time going on this ride. Our first attempt didn't go so well because right when we were about to get on the ride, it broke down due to low power so we left to go on other rides. After finishing the other rides in the castle, I saw that Mr. Toad was open again and we went back but this time the wait was around 15 minutes. The ride itself is around like 3 minutes and it goes by fast once you're in the ride. The movement is not that fast so it's fine for kids to ride in and it's also not scary.

One of the rides at Fantasyland, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride follows the sequence of the movie as you take a car through the zany adventures of the mad toad. If you don't know the story, it doesn't matter. The visuals and rapid twists and turns are fun. The ride is short; perhaps about 2-3 minutes but it's worth a typical 30 minutes or less line. Fun for all ages.

A must ride when other attractions are super backed up. The perfect filler ride when all the kids have gone back to their hotels for a nap. My son enjoyed the feeling of driving and taking the steering wheel. Lots to see in less than two minutes. I wouldn't consider it wild.

Go later in the day when the little ones have turned in. It's a blast of a short ride from the og days of the park. Highly recommend using a mind altering enhancement of your choosing for maximum enjoyment.

Located in Fantasyland. It's a fun ride to go on when all the other rides have long wait times. Wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes for it though. Lots of sharp turns. The story is a little dark so I'd be mindful bringing very small children.

This is said to be one of the scariest attractions in Fantasyland. It certainly was exciting and the sauna of hell at the end was relaxing in cool weather. Line moves quickly, much faster than ppl In the line. Highly recommend, especially when the line is not winding back and forth.

So fun! Makes you feel like you are kid again. Lots of sharp turns keep you guessing! If you go to Disneyland, this is a must ride ride!

I love the movie already (it's a double feature with Sleepy Hollow) and this ride is just such a fun, fast, and wacky time. Not really much to say that hasn't been said. This ride is a classic Disney ride and I hope it never goes away

Ho. ho! Sit still. and you shall know what driving really is. for you are in the bands of the famous. the skillful. the entirely fearless Mr. Toad! I don't even know what Disney movie this ride is from lol But I wanted to go on the ride regardless. The ride is... not so wild. You basically sit and get whisked away to a big house. You go through a library and run into different animals and characters. The animations are like cardboard cutouts? lol This ride really needs to be updated... I got off this ride thinking "oh okay. There was that."

This ride is a classic in Fantasy Land, and holds a lot of nostalgia since I rode it many times as a kiddo. I would definitely be mindful of really small children riding as eludes to hell, which made me scared as a little little. Definitely fun to ride if under a 25 minute wait, but I wouldn't wait 30+ minutes.

Customer service is the best I've seen from any business. It was sweetheart's night tonight and my new phone accidentally fell out of my pocket while on the ride today. I was super upset and mad at myself. I spoke with the ride staff, who let the lead and their manager know the situation. Whoever was the manager is a saint for going out of their way to get my phone. I was still able to do the photo oops and use my Disneyland app. The alternative was picking up my phone at 1am when the park closed but the manager on duty was so understanding. I'll forever be grateful to their kindness.

Even as an adult this is still a fun ride. The wait was 25 min according to the song, but it went faster.

It wasn't that great maybe fun for the younger kids. you go through different rooms and it looks like you're going to crash into a wall, but the wall opens up and then you go into the next room. Some rooms were really hot and heated to give you the feeling like your in hell... not on the top of the list of rides but if you have time while in the area with DAS or Lightening lane why not jump Into the car for a wild ride with Mr. Toad.

Definitely a wild ride. The story is a bit confusing. You ride around pretty crazy, go through dynamite, go to court, I guess die in the process, and then go to hell. It's a weird ride and a bit dark. The hell part gets warm and humid, not my favorite. Overall a pretty weird and funmy ride, but again the story is all over the place.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a ride within Fantasyland at Disneyland. This is a original ride at Disneyland and there is not a similar one at Disney World. Located next to Dumbo and Peter Pan, this ride is a dark ride that brings you through the Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.Toad. The ride is loud and there are a lot of bright lights through the dark ride. It is relatively slow, but does have some quick turns. When we had went during the second week of September, there was no wait time and we were able to ride it instantly. The ride seats up to 3 people in a inside, air conditioned building.

A Disneyland classic, one of the first rides. It was the "scary" kid ride for me when I was little and now it is just fun nostalgia! I had to Google to find out who Mr. Toad even is/was... never knew. I've heard of the Wind in the Willows, but it's definitely not as popular as this ride! Two people climb inside a cool old car and off you go to avoid things tumbling onto you, policemen trying to stop you, crash through walls and windows, and avoid explosions. It's just good fun! You'll find Mr. Toad's in with the other highly popular rides such as Peter Pan, Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio, next to the carousel... most of these rides have quite long lines, but they are so classically Disneyland that they are a must at least once in your lifetime. I've had the pleasure of experiencing Mr. Toad's several times and it never disappoints. Could be because it reminds me of my childhood or just because it is pure simple "dangerous" fun! Enjoy!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

My wife and I had a great time going on this ride. Our first attempt didn't go so well because right when we were about to get on the ride, it broke down due to low power so we left to go on other rides. After finishing the other rides in the castle, I saw that Mr. Toad was open again and we went back but this time the wait was around 15 minutes. The ride itself is around like 3 minutes and it goes by fast once you're in the ride. The movement is not that fast so it's fine for kids to ride in and it's also not scary.

Such a fun, classic ride that brings the movie to life. This ride usually has a wait since you can't use Genie+, but the line moves fast! Perfect for your little ones because you can let them be the "driver" and pretend they're driving like Mr. Toad!

I know this ride is "classic" but it sure is scary to me as far as vibes go! Especially for kids!! Keep in mind when taking younger children on this. Otherwise it usually has a short line and it's part of the Fantasyland area to get the whole experience.

Nope, I've never seen Wind in the Willows or The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the dark and quick ride. Located in Fantasyland right next to Peter Pan's Flight. The ride takes you through the motions of what it is like driving through the eyes of Mr. Toad and his "Motor Mania," tendencies. You'll go through various twist and turns and almost crash into certain places and people, lol! Lastly, Mr. Toad ends up in "Hell." The ride was rather odd, but fun to at least try out. I also enjoyed the nicely air conditioned space. This ride might scary some kiddies, but as an adult, you'll find it amusing. Just slightly bummed that I couldn't take good pictures and/or videos, but I did enjoy my nails lighting up under the black lights, lol!

The ride that ends in Hell. No joke. It's a vehicle ride and a bit scary for the kids. I have warned you. Still I loved it overall.

I'm conflicted about this ride. In part because the landscape of the ride is so beautiful. The building was truly designed for the ride, and is one of the original rides at Disneyland. That being said, it needs a revamp. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a similar ride, but less jerky - in that you ride through the general plot of the film with wooden characters and crash doors. However most have never read Wind in the Willows (it's beautiful, you should) and never seen The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (also quite good, although it deserved a full length film) so the ride isn't as popular as Pooh. Were it not in Fantasyland I think it would be even less popular than it is now because it's so easy to ride tea cups or Snow White and say, "why not?" In the future I'm hoping the ride gets a makeover and is less a mishmash of random awkward scenes or that it and Peter Pan's Flight are replaced by something Frozen themed, because sadly, the space could be much better utilized than it currently is right now.

OMG! I love this ride! This is my husband's favorite character attraction and he always insists on riding this attraction when we visit Disneyland. Sadly in Disney World's Magic Kingdom, this ride was removed (in which the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh replaced it) but, I'm glad they still feature it in the Disneyland park. If anyone watched the animated feature The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad (based on the book the Wind in the Willows), this ride takes you on Toads journey when he is on a quest to retrieve a motor car while falling into a wrong crowd of friends such as Mole, Rat and Badger that try to save him from himself. Through Toad's journey, he is sentenced in court and found guilty and you ride through Toad's Hall, Toad's wild ride through the town and even in Hell in which the attraction feels a little heated in that room which offers a special effect with a touch of Disney magic. The graphics, the props, the animation and animatronic characters are a must see which makes this one of the best character rides in the park.

This ride holds a special place in my heart. It has been one of my favs as a kid, teenager, and now an adult. Funny thing is, I have never seen Wind and the Willows. But still, this ride is so freaking cool, and thankfully usually has a quick wait time. So let's hop in the buggy and talk about this wild ride. You start your journey as you twist your way through Mr. Toad's study and make the exit out of the fireplace. You find yourself running from the police twisting and turning your way through swamps and the city docks. You end up back at the bar, which might be the only ride to feature beer which is awesome. Then land yourself in jail for joyriding and a DUI. You bounce out of the courtroom and your ride is about to end, which I won't spoil if you have never been on this.....but it gets a little warm. Seriously for me, this attraction is the stand-out of Fantasyland. I love Peter Pan but Mr. Toad takes the crown. For you newcomers check out this ride. Last time I was in line I was discussing with some friends that they should do a Sleepy Hollow ride, being that Mr. Toad and Legend of Sleepy Hollow were aired together. How cool would that be? CHEERS!!!

I don't think I've ever actually even watched the movie for this ride, but regardless, I think it was fun. You can "drive" the cart as you go through the story of Mr. Toad's wild ride. It jerks you back and forth, you "crash" through scenes, and you see his descent into hell! I think the ride ends a bit abruptly because he ends up there and seemingly does not come back out...We waited less than 15 minutes for this ride and when you're done, you can take the photo opportunity outside in one of the ride carts.

A really wild ride in terms of the storytelling. I was told by a seasoned Disneyland veteran to look out for the important moral of the ride. What I got from it was that drunk driving will land you in jail and if you do it again, you'll go to hell. Yeah, kind of intense for a kid but they will probably just see it as fun cartoon high jinks so you're probably good. The ride is all hands off so you can sit back and enjoy. You move around in two person cars. The car takes you through different very air conditioned scenes. Near the end (the hell part) it is notably warmer but that portion isn't too long.

The last time we were here, we took our boy on it. This is a must-ride when we are at Fantasy Land. This classic ride seems to be really popular with other visitors as well. The line is usually pretty long. If it's hot outside, then, the wait might seem pretty long. (Funny story: when our son was very young, he would cry at the end of each ride, because it was over.) There is a scared-straight lesson for kids and kids at heart. Kudos to Jason E. for his summary of the ride and the lesson. Adults and children are fans of this ride. If you are lucky, you can visit this ride more than once.

I love that they let you DRIVE THIS RIDE-- sorry to my car but I drove and we ended up in hell. Not the ride's fault so I am still leaving 5 starts because it is so Choose Your Own Adventure

Most folk only know this ride from seeing a movie. For me, being British, the book, Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame has fond memories for me. I spent days lost in the world of these small animals. I loved this book as a child so I have the same soft spot for the ride. We happen to be walking by one evening and it was not busy. No wait. So, of course, I am going to go on this ride. I believe this ride has been around as long as the Disneyland Park has been open. It's a bit hidden in the park, way at the back by Peter Pan. The ride itself is supposed to emulate Mr toad's car with all the tight turns and twisty fun in a way that you might imagine him to be driving. It's just a classic and fun for all ages.

If you enjoy the classic attractions of Disneyland that do not go too fast or scare you, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is one you should try. This ride is one that any age can try, as long as there is someone older to watch over them. You sit in a buggy, and Mr. Toad takes you on his life journey. There are areas where this ride may seem a little dark, but overall it's a pretty smooth adventure.

What is this ride? No idea what this ride was about. Who was Mr. Toad? This story was probably pretty old, so I had no idea what it was talking about because I never read this. The ride was really short, like 3 minutes long. My friend and I decided to go on this because it was only a 30 minute wait on a Saturday, so pretty good! So you first hop into a "car" and it takes you on a journey to I don't know where. Well lots of random stuff was in the ride, so it was complicated. Half of the time I had no idea what was going on. But one thing I did like was that you got to "drive" the car. It wasn't like the other rides. I kind of got scared in the middle of the ride, is it just me or do you guys also feel like all of a sudden the cardboard figures might reach out and touch you? It's probably just me. Well, from my experiences, this ride was just not for me, but maybe I'll try again... maybe.

Awesome adventure with toad. Line move well with this ride. It is a bit cramped when you get in the building but the rides is just perfect with the length of time of the ride and all the fun mischief you get into on the ride. They turned off the heater at the end when you enter hell which is nice.

This was my first time going on this ride in years and it's better than I remember it to be. The props used are pretty outdated, but there's a lot of action going on. Many noises and bright lights everywhere. Overall, pretty good ride and if the wait is 20 minutes or under, I'd definitely recommend it. If you have a large party, you can't go all at once because the cars are very small and fit two adults at most. Definitely a must go, along with Peter Pan, Snow White, and Pinocchio rides. Brings back memories from the past. Enjoy!

Wild ride of memories and nostalgia. I remember when I was very little, this was one of my favorite rides ever! I grew up going to Disney World and had to ride this several times pretending like we were on the adventure with Mr. Toad. Then it was replaced at Magic Kingdom. I believe it was replaced by the Poo Bear ride, which also created fond memories with my own children. But, my daughter is a huge fan of nostalgia, Disney lore, and reliving some of my own memories. We own a DVD of Wind in the Willows which she watched when she was very young so it was on her ride bucket list to come here to Disneyland and experience it for herself. The ride is silly fun, a bit dated looking, and oh so retro, a throwback to childhood. She was very excited and wanted to know if it was what I remembered. Yes, many scenes in the ride brings back fond memories of driving a car crazy with the automobile obsessed Mr. Toad. It was a fun wild ride back to my past and reliving it with my family.

One of the original rides at Disneyland, not my favorite ride but one that everyone should enjoy. It's what I call a kiddie ride but what's funny is that my parents really wanted to ride it again. Again this is one of the original rides that was here on opening day.

Absolutes my 2nd favorite ride at Disneyland. I don't think they have changed it since I was 10 years old. And that was 61 years ago. It was my favorite back then too. And still is, next to Haunted Mansion. Spinning around in a little car. Twisting and turning every second. Whistles blowing in my face. Frogs everywhere. Lts of colors and sounds. Such a fun ride.

Classic ride from my childhood. I never realized how loud this ride actually is until I became a parent. I had to cover my 8-month old's ears on this ride while she was sleeping to keep her from waking up. It's fun, but definitely suited more for older kids and adults who are big kids at heart.

SPOILER ALERT :) One of the many classic Fantasyland rides available there. Never watched the movie that was in correlation to this ride, but I have received multiple confirmation that it does depict the story well. A good number of the rides in Fantasyland have a few "scary" moments and this is definitely no exception. You hop onto a car and basically go through this quick pace adventure that Mr. Toad took as a reckless driver. My friend and I had definitely a hard time finding any sort of hidden Mickeys since this ride goes pretty fast. I think the unsettling scene that gets me every time is after when you die and end up in hell. Years ago when you got to this scene the room would be warmer than all the previous scenes you went through. So I wished they had kept that affect though cause it lends to the creepy/scary factor of the ride. Then you are abruptly at the end of the ride. I guess this would be a good lesson on reckless driving for the kiddos lolz

This is an interesting ride! Depending on the age & maturity of the child or children, this may or may not be for them! We were standing in line and this mother was trying to assure her child that this is a kiddie ride and it would be ok. My husband was telling her that "it wasn't scary". Funny thing is, while we were riding it, he said "maybe it could be scary for her". We saw the girl after the ride, and she was ok, but I don't think she really liked it. I love the decorative toads everywhere, even on the posts at the top in the area just before the ride begins. There are toads everywhere. Mr. Toad must be British since your ride takes you for a joyride at night through the streets of London. It sure is a wild ride!! It begins innocently enough through a library and before you know it, things are heating up and you find yourself in a place you hope to never be! The ride was too jerky, quick, and I couldn't take any decent pictures while on the ride. You can see other people's pictures, they were able to take a couple of decent ones of the cut-outs and characters. This is a short ride! It seems to take forever to get on the ride and it is over in like 2 minutes. As with most of the rides in Disneyland, there will be a long line to wait in! Bring your patience and wait.

Walk down memory lane with one of the less remembered Disney animated films, the ride is fun yet simple and dated. Very casual ride. It's in a realm of "why not" bc it's next to Snow White and Peter Pan. The only ride in the park that ends with going to Heck. So that's neat. Lol!

This was my first ride when I first came here. I remembered it clearly. The ride itself was so wonderful and lovely to ride on. The rides was majestic and awesome! 10/10 would love to come here again.

Eh. Although I'll admit I know nothing of Mr Toad or any stories associated with the character, I didn't feel I needed to to attempt to enjoy the ride. After the ride, if my life depended on explaining the "story" for this ride, I'd be dead. The animatronics and art were good of course, but the "story" made no sense for someone unfamiliar with the character. As far as an actual ride, again, the design/art/animatronics were good as most things in Disneyland - but compared to a large portion of rides, this seemed very dated. Thankfully the line for this wasted time was short - BUT I had someone directly behind me that smelled so bad it was like his body didn't touch water in over a decade. Once inside the confining line space, it got worse. Though I saved my nose and tried breathing through my mouth, it wasn't much change. I was only grateful once I was in the ride to get away from this smelly park goer. On a hot day, some of the ac inside the ride felt good - until you get to the "hell" portion, which is hot air. Understandable for the story and the effect, but that sucked on the way out. If there is an avoidable ride in Disneyland, this is certainly in the top 5.

The wildest ride in Fantasyland! Sure it may be a bit old, it may be filled with plywood cut outs, the wheels may be a bit squeaky, and you may take a quick trip through the depths of hell, but that's why it's awesome! Bit of trivia knowledge for you, this is one of the very few rides remaining that were in the park on opening day in 1955! A lot of people think this ride is outdated, or maybe they've just never seen Wind in the Willows or the Adventures of Incabod and Mr. Toad, but I think Disneyland needs to prefer these golden age rides. There's not that many of them left and it's a piece of Disneyland history. I love the nostalgia of this ride, how it hasn't been updated with projections or 3D, how the cars are the same as when I was a kid. The run time isn't the longest, but neither is the line wait. The wait is never usually longer that 10 minutes. Even if it's a super busy day at the park you can count on the wait to be super short. So strap in, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

It's a one of a kind ride. You'll only be able to ride this ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, so that makes this a must ride. It's located just off to the right as you come through Sleeping Beauty's castle. It's designed for kids, so don't expect too much for the bigger kids as they might get bored. You're just there for the ride as you ride through the different scenes. Although it's a pretty short ride, I think it's a tad darker and perhaps scarier than the Haunted Mansion ride.

Broke down as we waited in line. Unable to provide adequate review. I have been on it years earlier. I believe it was enjoyable if my memory recalls correctly.

Another classic dark and loud ride located in Disneyland. It's located next door to Peter pans flight. Very dark and almost somewhat scary. Also pretty short ride as well. Meh...not my favorite...but enjoy...just go!!! Give it a whirl!!!

I loved this ride as a kid and I love it now as an adult. I still go bananas if I get to drive Mr. Toad's car (it's random but you may be one of the lucky ones). Since this ride has been removed at Walt Disney World in Orlando, I have an even greater fondness for the one here at Disneyland. When I'm at the park for the "rope drop," I always make a beeline for Mr. Toad. No, seriously. The attraction area is wonderfully themed. You enter through the front of Toad Hall where you'll find J. Thaddeus Toad himself in statuette. Mr. Toad has long been one of my favorite Disney movie characters. If you are a fan of the Wind and the Willows books, the Mr. Toad Disney movie, weasels and / or motorcars, this ride is for you! There's even a stationary motorcar out front for photo ops. The 'wild ride' isn't very wild, even the elderly and small children can ride it with no problem. The cars run along an erratic track; you don't actually steer or drive them, but it's fun to play along. The final scene of the ride puts you in Hell with the devil and you can feel the heat (perfect way to warm up, if only briefly, on a cold day)! The ride is simple and cheesy but if you feel like taking a drive to nowhere in particular, hop on board!

You know, all these years... and I have NEVER seen or read "The Wind in the Willows." Fortunately, from what I've heard, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride doesn't really hew to either the book or the movie. I've always looked at it as a crazy ride through London where you get into a nasty accident with a train and end up in Hell (where the ride gets really warm). Sure, the interior of this dark ride could really use a facelift, but the exterior resembling Toad Hall just has a bit of charm to it. One can't help getting a picture of Mr. Toad's statue inside, as well as the photo op of one of the cars. If the line's not too long, this isn't too bad.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is a Disneyland original. This ride has literally been around since the opening in 1955, when Walt Disney himself was walking the grounds of the park and based off of a film from freaking 1908. That is just amazing to me. What is even more amazing is that when Disney World got rid of this ride, angry Disnerds protested in the park. As I've mentioned in previous reviews, a lot of rides in Fantasyland are incredibly similar. With this one, you hop in a little tin lizzy and go through a serious of events. I've never seen Wind in the Willows or Ichabod and Mr. Toad, so I wasn't familiar with the storyline. I found it interesting and a little funny where you literally die and drive through hell. Thankfully this is another ride that doesn't take too long to get onto. It is beloved by many, and don't see this ride going anywhere for a long time.

A classic ride that has only been improved since the original build. Since the ride is short, the lines are usually never long. Younger generations may not know who Mr. Toad or any of his friends are, so the story may come off as confusing. Otherwise, it's a fun ride when other Fantasyland attractions are busy.

What was Mr. Toad? A book, a movie? A friend of Ichabod Crane? I guess I'll never know. Perks of this ride, the line goes fast and you'll get to see a real piece of Disney history. I mean way before the days of intergrating video equipment into attractions. It's all painted wooden characters, loud prerecorded voice tracks all while trying to survive the twist and turns of dear old Mr. Toad's crazy driving skills. Definitely recommend this ride if you need a break from long lines and a reason to visit Fantasy Land.
