Fortnite just launched one of its most creative crossover events in a while. But this one hits differently for anyone who grew up watching Toy Story. Disney and Pixar brought the whole gang into the game Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest - and the way they did it is a lot more nostalgic than your typical licensed event. Here's everything you need to know before you start rescuing toys in the Fortnite Toy Story 5 event.

What Is the Toy Story 5 Event in Fortnite?

Toy Story 5: The Great Toy Rescue is a limited-time Fortnite event that started on September 22nd, 2026. It runs through October 5th, 2026, timed right a few days after the Disney+ release of Toy Story 5 on September 23rd.

This is the first time Disney and Pixar have connected a branded adventure across multiple creator-made islands within Fortnite at the same time. So it's a full, multi-island experience with a storyline, unlockable abilities, and collectibles.

You can jump straight in with the island code: 6059-3243-8283.

What Happened to the Toys in the Event?

The event starts on a brand new island based on Bonnie's Room from Toy Story 5. A Fortnite rift suddenly opens and scatters six of the most beloved toys across the Fortnite ecosystem, sending each one into a different creator-made island. Your job is to track them all down and bring them back home.

The Bonnie's Room hub itself has hidden imaginary spaces tucked within the room: a castle, an ancient temple, and a spaceship. Each of these is unlocked as you complete missions and gain new abilities.

How to Rescue All 6 Toys in Fortnite Toy Story 5 Event

Each missing toy is on a different creator-made island, and each mission is built around that character's personality. Here's the full breakdown:

ToyMission
ForkyTrack down a stash of paperclips
HammCollect coins around the island
WoodyGather crayons in a two-person squad competition
RexFind and repair a broken necklace
JessieCollect Bullseye's horseshoes
Buzz LightyearClimb obstacles, outmaneuver rivals, and secure batteries

Once you complete a mission and return a toy to Bonnie's Room, you enter a code that unlocks a new traversal ability. Over the course of all six rescues, you'll collect:

  • A jet pack
  • An Imagination transport ability
  • A Flint Knock
  • Additional traversal tools
Jetpack Fortnite

You actually need these items to reach new parts of Bonnie's Room and find all the collectibles hidden across the island. The more toys you rescue, the more the hub opens up to you.

Collectibles Inside Bonnie's Room

Beyond the rescue missions, there's a lot to hunt for inside the hub itself. The full list of collectibles across Bonnie's Room includes:

CollectibleTotal Count
Targets50
Hi-Tech Buzz Figures30
Memories10

You won't be able to access all of these without the abilities from the missions, so you have to complete the rescues so that you can explore the hub more. There's also a Photobooth Mode, where you can take pictures alongside the Toy Story characters inside the island. It's a fun extra feature, especially if you're playing with younger players.

This collaboration actually feels like a test case for how Disney might approach gaming tie-ins going forward. With Toy Story 5 already crossing $1 billion at the box office during its theatrical run, and the Disney+ release drawing a huge audience, the Fortnite event is a smart way to keep the momentum going. If this works well, I'd expect Disney to push even further into multi-island experiences for future releases, just like the previous one with Mandalorian and Forsworn Trooper.

If you're jumping in, start with the Woody and Forky missions, then work up to Buzz once you have a few abilities unlocked. Good luck with the rescues!

Yes, Fortnite is free-to-play on all major platforms, so you can jump into The Great Toy Rescue without spending anything. Just enter the island code 6059-3243-8283 to get started.

Do you need to play the missions in order?

You don't have to follow a strict order, but rescuing toys first unlocks the traversal abilities you need to reach certain parts of Bonnie's Room, so doing missions and exploring the hub together makes the experience a lot smoother.
