Disney and Pixar have launched a new limited-time Fortnite experience for Toy Story 5. Toy Story 5: The Great Toy Rescue went live on September 22, 2026 and is scheduled to remain available until October 5 at 11:59 PM PT, giving players roughly two weeks to explore a connected adventure spread across multiple creator-made Fortnite islands.
The event arrives alongside the Toy Story 5 Disney+ premiere on September 23. Rather than being a normal Item Shop skin drop, The Great Toy Rescue is a playable Fortnite experience built around Bonnie’s room and a hunt for six missing toys.
Fortnite x Toy Story 5 event dates
Disney’s official D23 announcement confirms that The Great Toy Rescue runs from September 22 through October 5, 2026, ending at 11:59 PM PT on October 5. That makes this a genuinely limited-time collaboration rather than a permanent Fortnite mode.
The timing is deliberate: the event launched one day before Toy Story 5 arrived on Disney+ on September 23. Disney describes it as the first time Disney and Pixar have connected a Disney-branded adventure across multiple participating creator-made islands in Fortnite.
What is The Great Toy Rescue?
The adventure begins in an island inspired by Bonnie’s room. A Fortnite rift has scattered toys across the wider Fortnite creator ecosystem, and players are tasked with finding them and returning them home.
Six familiar Toy Story characters are part of the rescue objective: Jessie, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex, Hamm and Forky. Bonnie’s room acts as a persistent home base shown from toy height, turning furniture, shelves and drawers into oversized terrain. Hidden imaginary areas expand the setting further with fantasy environments including a castle, an ancient temple and a spaceship.
The unusual part is that the event is not confined to one island. Each missing toy is tied to a different creator-made experience, giving players a reason to move between participating maps rather than complete everything in a single UEFN island.
What activities are included?
Disney has outlined several different objectives. Players can search for paperclips while rescuing Forky, collect coins to help locate Hamm, compete in two-person squads while gathering crayons to return to Woody, repair a necklace to bring Rex back, collect Bullseye’s horseshoes to return Jessie, and tackle a movement challenge involving batteries to send Buzz Lightyear back to Bonnie’s room.
Disney also says players can unlock new abilities or equipment that open additional ways to explore Bonnie’s imagination. The emphasis is therefore on the playable crossover itself rather than a simple branded backdrop.
Are there Fortnite Toy Story 5 skins or a promo code?
Confirmed
The Great Toy Rescue is a limited-time Fortnite experience running across creator-made islands. Disney has confirmed its dates, the six-toy rescue objective and Toy Story-themed gameplay rewards inside the experience.
Not confirmed
We have not found an official announcement for a new redeemable Toy Story 5 cosmetic code tied to this event. The verified Disney announcement also does not present The Great Toy Rescue as a new Item Shop skin wave. Separate reporting from Beebom likewise describes this collaboration as a UEFN experience rather than a new skin or cosmetic release.
That distinction is useful for players searching for a “Toy Story 5 Fortnite code.” At the moment, there is no verified new promotional cosmetic redemption code from this activation that we can recommend buying or redeeming. If Epic or Disney announces one later, that would be a separate development.
How this fits with Fortnite’s other September events
Fortnite has been unusually busy this month. The Toy Story 5 activation overlaps with Fortnite’s ninth birthday celebrations, which also launched with free quest rewards and a separate reported 9YEARS code. If you are looking for those rewards rather than the Toy Story event, see our Fortnite 9th Birthday rewards and 9YEARS guide.
For other digital Fortnite content currently available through CODSKINS, browse our Fortnite codes and rewards collection. The Great Toy Rescue itself is a Fortnite experience and does not require a CODSKINS product to play.
When does the Toy Story 5 Fortnite event end?
The official end point is October 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT. Players interested in completing the connected rescue adventure should therefore avoid leaving it until after that date. Because the event spans multiple creator-made islands, it is also worth allowing enough time to work through the different objectives rather than expecting one short match to cover everything.
At the time of writing, the strongest verified information comes directly from Disney’s D23 announcement. We will keep watching Epic, Disney and Fortnite channels for any additional cosmetics, codes or reward details before the event ends.
