### Act 1

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy come out to greet the audience and sing about how much they love toys.

The main story starts in Andy's bedroom as he finishes playing with Woody and gets ready for his birthday party. As he exits, the Woody doll that was played with eventually becomes life-sized. Woody then summons the toys to a staff meeting. Woody tries reassuring the toys that they will move in a week, everything will be all right and no one is getting replaced. Woody then sends Sarge to send an army of soldiers to spy on what presents Andy got on the intercom. He got a lunchbox, a bed sheet, and a board game called Battleship. Eventually, there is a surprise present which Andy runs upstairs and puts in Woody's place.

Woody tries to get the toys to give a nice big Andy's Room welcome to the new toy, which turns out to be Buzz Lightyear, who believes himself to be a real space ranger, he soon grows jealous as all the toys start to like him more. Woody feels rejected by lamenting that strange things are happening in Andy's room and worries that he will be replaced. They hear shouts from the outside, so from the window, they see Sid, Andy’s cruel neighbor, who blows Combat Carl up, Andy's toys told Buzz, they had seen Sid blowing up other toys so many times, but Buzz wishes he could stop Sid from destroying Combat Carl. Later on, Woody then attempts to use R.C. to knock Buzz into a small opening, but he accidentally knocks him out of the window. All the toys don't believe him about it being an accident and turn their backs on Woody, except for Bo Peep, who sympathizes with Woody. Andy wants to take Buzz to Pizza Planet but he was gone, so he takes Woody instead.

Mickey comes back to explain to the audience the consequences of Woody's audience, along with the toys that don’t believe him accidentally knocking Buzz out the window. Mickey explains in the next scene Andy is going to Pizza Planet for dinner with his mom.

On the road, while Andy and his mom get some gas, Buzz shows his face, as Woody is glad that he is okay. But Buzz, who also believes that Woody tried to kill him, wrestles him until Andy leaves and does not realize they were gone. While Buzz and Woody argue about who was to blame for Andy being gone, Woody is mad at him for his antics that he wants him to learn that he's a toy and there's no such thing as Star Command. They find a Pizza Planet delivery truck that takes them there. As Woody & Buzz entered Pizza Planet, Woody sees Andy, but Buzz ran into a rocket machine, and Woody goes after him, they encounter a group of aliens that worship their leader: The Claw. Sid, (portrayed as a cardboard cutout head) heads to the machine, controls the crane, grabs Buzz & Woody as double prizes, and then gets ready to go back home, so he kidnaps them.

### Act 2

At the top of the second act, Mickey and Minnie look back at the crane game at Pizza Planet, and how it ended up for our heroes as they both fear the things Sid possibly plans to do to them.

Woody and Buzz now in Sid's room, try to escape from his Cyborg dolls and Mutant toys. They manage to escape the next morning, but can't find the door. Buzz hears a call from Star Command which turns out to be a Buzz Lightyear commercial. He then laments his newfound discovery that he's not a space ranger, as he dreams of being able to fly. Desperate to prove that he's a real space ranger, he tries to fly but when his dream fades away, he falls and realizes with sadness that he is a toy.

Several headless dolls, bring Buzz to a tea party to take away his woes. Woody finds Buzz having a tea party and when Buzz admits that he couldn't fly out of the window, that gives Woody an idea. They would have to escape from Sid to Andy's window, so Woody tries to get Buzz to persuade the other toys that he is with him. Woody uses Buzz's arm to visually show the toys that Buzz is with him, which Buzz pulls off for Woody in a sarcastic way. When Woody accidentally shows Buzz's arm, the angry Mr Potato Head is convinced that Woody had murdered Buzz, as he and some of the toys decide to turn their back on Woody, so Bo misses Woody and wishes he was with Andy by now.

The Mutants reattach Buzz's arm, but he is still depressed but understood that Woody was right at all long and that he's just a toy, as Woody convinces him that being a toy is about making a kid happy. When Buzz realizes that he does belong to Andy, he and Woody become friends. But their fun doesn't last because Sid grabs Buzz and plans to launch him into orbit, while Woody then asks for the help of the mutant toys, so they agree to help him save Buzz, as he decides that to save Buzz, they would have to break a few rules. Sid tries to launch Buzz but is interrupted by Woody, who has managed to get out of Sid's room. Sid wonders how Woody got there and decides to cook him out later. He tries to launch Buzz again but gets terrified hearing his name when Woody reveals that he's talking to him as the Mutants Toys attack the coward, Sid, while Woody threatens him that they will find out if he doesn't take good care of his toys. When Woody warns Sid to play nice, Sid screams in fear and runs away. As Buzz and Woody leave, they notice Andy accidentally left R.C. in the yard, and decide to drive to the moving van on him so they catch the truck in no time. When the other toys see Woody and Buzz riding R.C., Bo reveals that Woody was telling the truth the whole time, so they feel ashamed and terrible for not trusting Woody and try to get the two of them onto the van but R.C.'s batteries run out. When Buzz realizes that he still has the rocket on his back, he and Woody decide to use it to launch into the sky to get to the truck, while R.C. is thrown into the truck, but they end up in Andy's car safely where Andy is happy to see his favorite toys again.

Back in Andy's new room, the toys anxiously wonder what Andy will get for Christmas as Woody and Bo Peep reunite, and Mr. Potato Head and Rex meet the women of their dreams. They celebrate that the toys are back in town. Andy comes back to sing one final verse of "You've Got A Friend In Me", as the entire cast leaves while Mickey and Minnie return to signify the end of the show and bring the cast back out for one last verse of "I Love Toys"
