Pixar Fest Explodes Back into Disneyland Resort for a Limited Time!

Pixar Fest is back at Disneyland Resort from April 26th to August 4th, 2024, bringing a celebration of friendship and beloved Pixar stories in a whole new way! This limited-time festival features exciting new offerings across the resort, inviting guests of all ages to experience unforgettable moments with their favorite characters. From classic films like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. to recent hits like Coco and Turning Red, Pixar Fest lets you celebrate the magic of Pixar animation.

Pixar Fest explodes with color throughout the Disneyland Resort! From Main Street, U.S.A. and Buena Vista Street to the Downtown Disney District, the resort will be transformed with dazzling Pixar décor. Even the Esplanade gets a playful touch with a giant, 25-foot Pixar Ball sculpture, welcoming guests to the heart of the celebration.

“Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” will make its debut at Disney California Adventure Park. Filled with dynamic and colorful floats and over two dozen characters from Pixar Animation Studios films, this parade will be themed to heartwarming and iconic Pixar films such as “Toy Story” and “Monsters, Inc.” alongside newer favorites like “Turning Red,” “Soul,” “Luca” and more. The parade’s grand finale features Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and Frozone from “The Incredibles,” Miguel from “Coco,” Mike and Sulley from “Monsters, Inc.,” and Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story.”

As a returning favorite refreshed with new elements, “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” will light up parts of Disneyland Park with colorful projections, memorable music and dazzling pyrotechnics on most nights to celebrate the theme of friendship. Featuring memorable characters from Pixar classics, as well as new favorites from “Turning Red,” “Luca,” and the upcoming film “Inside Out 2,” the emotional show will captivate with some all-new scenes. Guests will also be able to experience returning elements from the show, such as the 10-foot-tall “Coco” characters from the Land of the Dead, Carl and Ellie’s house from “Up” and a special flyover from Buzz Lightyear.

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.
