That’s not all, though. The fun will leave the parks and join the fun over in the Downtown Disney District. 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.” Yep! So, be on the lookout for even more menu items coming to Downtown Disney.

Entertainment
One of the biggest draws will be the brand-new “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” parade in Disney California Adventure. This parade will feature “high-energy dancing and appearances by more than two dozen Pixar characters,” including Red Panda Mei, Joe Gardner, Luca, the Incredibles, Toy Story characters, and more.
At night, you can watch the returning fireworks show, “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular.” However, it’s returning with some added scenes!
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.”
Everything Pixar Fest Has to Offer!
Pixar Characters
Our favorite Pixar Pals are here for the party, there’s a reading and coloring area, Pixar shorts are playing on the big screen, and there are photo backdrops from Onward, Up, A Bug’s Life, Cars, and Monsters, Inc. Let’s go!
First off, there’s a full-on dance party featuring Pixar characters including Woody, Jessie, Bo, The Incredibles and Frozone, and Joy and Sadness from Inside Out.
The area also features meet & greet opportunities with several Pixar characters, including some that aren’t seen all that often. These include Ian and Barley from Onward…
…who are posed in front of a HIGHLY detailed, full-scale replica of their van from the film.
Russel and Dug from UP also appear, in front of a gigantic replica of Ellie’s scrapbook from the film.
Finally, there’s Luca and Alberto from Luca, complete with their own custom backdrop as well.
