The Green Army Men have a new mission at Disney California Adventure—recruiting new toys to join their ranks. Operation Playtime brings high-energy entertainment to Pixar Pier, where the Green Army Patrol puts recruits through training with a lively, interactive drum show.

A High-Energy Toy Story Experience
Marching through Paradise Gardens and Pixar Pier, the Green Army Men arrive in their signature military-style truck. They call upon the crowd to show their enthusiasm as they enter and become honorary recruits. With their synchronized drumming, sharp movements, and playful Toy Story humor, they bring laughter and energy to every performance.

A Show That Keeps Guests Engaged
The Green Army Men don’t just perform—they interact with guests, making each show unique. They test recruits’ ability to follow commands, march in time, and, most importantly, have fun. Their goal is simple: ensure that every new recruit is ready for action. Whether you’re clapping along, marching in place, or simply enjoying the spectacle, this show delivers non-stop entertainment.
The Spirit of Play Comes to Life
As part of Pixar Pier’s immersive atmosphere, Operation Playtime reminds guests of Toy Story’s core message—a toy’s purpose is to be played with. By joining in on the fun, guests become part of the story, making this show a must-see for Toy Story fans of all ages.
