Wait, This Sounds Like Disney Created A New FESTIVAL!

We love Disneyland, we love festivals, and we love celebrations. That’s why we’re SO excited right now!

Earlier this year, we learned that Disneyland would be revamping Pixar Fest. From April through August, you can hang out with your favorite Pixar characters in this returning fest. There will be a brand new parade and returning fireworks show that you’ll be able to enjoy, plus some BOOTHS! Disney just gave us some news regarding all that will be available to enjoy throughout the festival, and we just had to share the news with you all.

It seems that Disneyland is taking the Pixar Fest to the next level and making it a whole FESTIVAL with all the offerings that will be available.

First up, you’ll be able to catch the new “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” parade. Disney said, “You’ll spot Red Panda Mei and her friends rocking out to their favorite boy band, 4*Town; Joe Gardner and 22 from Soul celebrating the sweeter things in life; Luca, Alberto, and Giulia from Luca enjoying their time together on the water’s edge in Portorosso; and more. The grand finale will feature Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl from The Incredibles, Miguel from Coco, Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc., and Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.”

Next, you can catch the returning fireworks show: “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular.”  Disney said we can expect to see some all-new scenes from the creative teams at Disney Live Entertainment and Pixar. Plus, the show will feature projections, lasers, and music that can be witnessed from several places in the parks.

After dark, you’ll be able to check out Club Pixar! According to Disney, “Club Pixar will take over the area for a nighttime party, inspired by the amazing stories from Pixar Animation Studios. Your whole group can enjoy an interactive DJ dance party, live performances, exciting games, photo opportunities, themed food, specially crafted beverages and more.”

You can dance, play games, and take photos at the Pixar Pals Playtime Party at Fantasyland Theatre in Disneyland park.

Now, let’s talk about those FOOD BOOTHS! You can grab some grub from the following starting May 10th:

• Summertime dishes inspired by the Italian coast at Portorosso Pasta from Luca
• Reimagined classics at Gusteau’s To-Go, themed to Ratatouille
• A playful mélange of elements at The Elemental Table, inspired by Elemental
• Fun foods perfect for a tween, boy band (or anyone, really!) at 4*Town Fav*4*ites from Turning Red
• Feel-good foods that feed your soul at The Spark, inspired by Soul 
• Flavors to appeal to all of your emotions at Hanger Management from Inside Out.

You’ll be able to meet all sorts of your favorite Pixar characters, grab themed popcorn buckets and other merch, and MORE.

Plus, decor will adorn the parks and the Downtown Disney District. Oh yes. The fun doesn’t stop in the parks! Disney said, “You can shop favorite merchandise collections, strike a pose in front of photo opportunities celebrating Pixar stories and when hunger strikes, enjoy Pixar-inspired menu items at select dining locations.”

So… all of this goes to show that Disney seems to be taking a small fest and turning it into a huge, full-blown FESTIVAL! We totally aren’t complaining though. We’re always down to celebrate alongside our favorite Pixar characters!

Disney told us that we can expect a foodie guide SOON, so we’ll be sure to keep an eye out for that and update you here once it’s released. Make sure to follow along so that you’re always in the loop!
