Pixar Fest will give guests the chance to experience many new entertainment offerings and returning favorites throughout the limited time festival. Colorful décor will be showcased across the Disneyland Resort, such as Main Street, U.S.A., Buena Vista Street, and throughout the
Downtown Disney District. In the Esplanade, guests will be greeted by a large 25-foot sculpture featuring the iconic Pixar Ball.
The heartwarming show “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” returns to Disneyland Park for a limited time as part of Pixar Fest at the Disneyland Resort, April 26-Aug. 4, 2024. Buzz Lightyear, 10-foot-tall “Coco” characters and many other new and returning Pixar favorites star in this stunning nighttime entertainment offering. After originally debuting in 2018, “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” has been enhanced with new scenes and characters in 2024, from films such as “Onward,” “Soul,” “Luca,” “Turning Red” and “Elemental.”
Sleeping Beauty Castle, the water screens of the Rivers of America, the façade of “it’s a small world” and the buildings of Main Street, U.S.A., come to life with special effects, a musical score and projections at various park locations. Iconic moments from the original production return with Buzz Lightyear soaring through the air and Carl and Ellie’s house from “Up” floating above Sleeping Beauty Castle. On most nights, sparkling fireworks add to the excitement.
“Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” features animated appearances by 17 new Pixar pals, including new emotions from the upcoming film “Inside Out 2,” in addition to many returning favorites.
Pulsing with colorful, dancing lights and vibrations, MagicBand+ will also be in sync with special moments throughout each performance of “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular.”
The new daytime parade, “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” is making its debut at Disney California Adventure Park for Pixar Fest. Twice a day, from April 26 – Aug. 4, 2024, dynamic and colorful floats and high-energy dancing take to the streets, featuring more than two dozen favorite characters from 10 Pixar Animation Studios films to celebrate friendship and beyond.
Pixar’s stories center around beloved characters who support and uplift each other through all of life’s challenges to be better together. In this parade, eight floats will dazzle and delight to showcase Pixar characters and their heartwarming stories from classic Pixar films to new
favorites—with many characters from “Turning Red” and “Luca” making their first appearance ever in a Disney Park. In addition to the eye-catching floats, the parade will come to life with exuberant performers donning colorful costumes, dancing along to an all-new upbeat musical score featuring tunes from “Turning Red,” “Soul,” and more.
The new Club Pixar takes over the Hollywood Backlot at Disney California Adventure Park. Each evening during Pixar Fest, Club Pixar comes alive with an energetic DJ-led experience. Live performances, exciting games, photo opportunities, themed food, specially crafted beverages, and more take the celebration to infinity and beyond. During the day at the Hollywood Backlot, guests can pose for photos and maybe even spot Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Incredible (appearing in their original super suits for the first time).
At Disneyland Park, the fun is just beginning at the new Pixar Pals Playtime Party where guests of all ages can join in on the Pixar Fest celebration, as Fantasyland Theatre is transformed into a daytime fun zone for the entire family. Guests will have a chance to learn some incredible dance moves, groove alongside their favorite Pixar pals in a high-energy show and join in on some Pixar-themed activities, or they may simply sit back and enjoy Pixar-award winning shorts on a big screen.
In addition to many beloved pals from Pixar stories including “Inside Out” and “Onward,” guests may also encounter new characters throughout both theme parks such as Ember and Wade from “Elemental,” Luca and Alberto from “Luca” and more.
At the start of the festival, Paradise Garden Grill and Troubadour Tavern will transform their menus to offer Pixar-themed eats beginning April 26. Starting May 10, guests will be able to experience six Pixar-themed food and beverage marketplaces throughout Disney California
Adventure Park. With each of the marketplaces themed to “Luca,” “Ratatouille,” “Turning Red,” “Soul,” “Elemental” and “Inside Out,” guests will be able to dig into plenty of delicious Pixarthemed menu items during Pixar Fest.
For those who wish to get more into character for Pixar Fest, the festival will also feature plenty of limited-time food and beverage novelty items. While supplies last at select food and beverage locations, a Coco guitar bucket, an Alien Pizza Planet truck bucket and a Slinky Dog sipper highlight some of the top options that guests can take home to celebrate their Pixar Fest experience.
Guests will also find a new limited-time line of Pixar Fest merchandise with designs featuring many Pixar pals from films such as “Monsters, Inc.,” “Finding Nemo” and “Up” for the 2024 festival. Other Pixar-themed merchandise includes a Pizza Planet collection that pays homage
to the beloved restaurant from the “Toy Story” films and a colorful line featuring favorite characters portrayed with vibrant splashes and bursts of colors. Pixar Fest will also introduce new limited-time medallions with designs for every Pixar feature film.
