Experience All the Pixar-Inspired Entertainment

After a day of adventuring, panelist Alejandra H. says to head to the Hollywood Backlot to experience Club Pixar. “This is a space for the entire family to enjoy! There is live entertainment, backyard games, photo opportunities and Pixar-themed food and drinks.”

Over at Disneyland park, Amanda D. recommends dancing and playing the Pixar way at the Pixar Pals Playtime Party during the day! “The Fantasyland Theatre is full of photo ops, crafts, games and Pixar friends like Edna Mode dancing to the beat. It’s fabulous, darling!”

End your evening with “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” featuring all-new scenes from the latest Pixar films, plus fireworks on most nights.

Be on the Lookout for Pixar Character Encounters

Be on the lookout for many of your favorite Pixar characters celebrating friendship across Disneyland Resort. You might even see some new faces making their Disneyland Resort debut in celebration of Pixar Fest, like Ember and Wade from “Elemental” and Luca and Alberto from “Luca.”

Courtney B. says, “Don’t forget that unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the day are included with your Disney Genie+ purchase, so be sure to strike a pose with your favorite Pixar pals!”

Six limited-time marketplaces are now open at Disney California Adventure park, and Michelle R. says these are not to be missed!

Each marketplace serves whimsical food and beverage offerings themed to a unique Pixar film, like French fare inspired by “Ratatouille” at Gusteau’s To-Go and a whirlwind of flavors (and emotions) at Hanger Management inspired by “Inside Out.”
