ANAHEIM — One of the most anticipated times of the year has returned to Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney District in the 2024 Pixar Fest now open from April 26 through August 4, 2024.
Fans can experience the magic of the Pixar Animation Studios through the Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! Parade located inside Disney California Adventure Park. The parade is a amazing display of colorful floats representing dozens of character from Pixar animation that include, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Turning Red, UP, Luca, and the grand finale features Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and Frozone (The Incredibles), and more.
“We want the feelings and the emotions that you’ve connected with these characters from the films to be carried forward in the parks in many different ways,” said Tasha Sounart, creative director at Pixar Animation Studios. “We thought this was a really great time to bring back Pixar Fest because it’s been a while and we’ve come out with a lot of films since then. Luca, Turning Red, Soul, and others have a lot of fun stuff in them that hasn’t really been seen in the parks before, so this is an opportunity to celebrate some of those new films.”
If you are a casual or die hard Pixar Animation Studios fan, these are the moments for any guest especially when it to the limited-time themed food and drinks that you can’t enjoy anywhere else. Delicious items from the Nemo and Baby Dory cake pops to the cupcake, which is a multi colored dessert with cinnamon mousse, cream cheese frosting, and a chocolate bridge with orange chocolate shavings, looks just like the bridge from Coco that your tastebuds will thank you for later.
Don’t pass up the signature Ratatouille Pizzetta and Gusteau Macaron from Gusteau’s To-Go at Disney California Adventure Park’s Pixar Fest Marketplace that will be open from May 10 – August 4.
With each of the marketplaces themed to Luca, Ratatouille, Turning Red, Elemental and Inside Out, guests will be able to dig into plenty of delicious Pixar-themed menu items that feature great food and drinks during Pixar Fest.
The Hollywood Backlot at Disney California Adventure Park will turn into Club Pixar.
Every evening during 2024 Pixar Fest, Club Pixar comes alive with an spirited DJ-led experience with live performances, exciting games, photo opportunities, special themed food and drinks to ensure guests can party to infinity and beyond in true Pixar style.
Night time activities occupy Disneyland Park as the “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime
Spectacular” that features a amazing fireworks show with colorful projections, music from some of your favorite Pixar films and pyrotechnics on most nights to celebrate the theme of friendship.
Let’s not forget about the exclusive merchandise that guests can purchase during Pixar Fest in both parks.
“There is a versatility of having items that are gender inclusive, so it’s not a male or female thing,” said Carlos Martinez of Disney. “There’s sizing for young and old, big and small, and it’s a just great opportunity to be able to just showcase your love for Pixar no matter who you are.”
Guests can purchase many items including a reversible bucket hat, along with water bottles, bags, mugs, sweatshirts, zip-up hoodies, and more supporting your favorite Pixar Animation moments.
For guests who want to explore another area celebrating Pixar Animation Studios, stop by Pixar Pals Playtime Party just before you head to Mickey’s Toontown. They are located at the Fantasyland Theatre, transformed into a daytime fun zone for everyone in attendance. Guests can learn incredible dance moves alongside their favorite Pixar Animation pals in a high-energy show while participating in Pixar-themed activities.
