Pixar fans can expect a big summer at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. Characters from Pixar’s many blockbusters have taken over Disneyland and Disney California Adventure this spring, with a full slate of new activities starting up at both parks last week. It’s called Pixar Fest, and it runs through the summer, wrapping up on September 3.
Pixar’s had a presence at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for years, but Pixar Fest is, as Disney proudly touts, “the biggest Pixar celebration ever to come to Disney Park.” The centerpiece is a new nighttime fireworks show at Disneyland. Together Forever—A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular uses projections, fireworks and music to bring some of the most beloved moments from every Pixar movie to life throughout the park. That photo of Miguel from Coco playing guitar on Sleeping Beauty Castle should give you an idea of what to expect from Together Forever.
Two older parades are returning, with new appearances from Pixar favorites. The Pixar Play Parade, which ran for years at California Adventure, has crossed the esplanade and set up shop at Disneyland for the first time. Characters from Up and Inside Out have joined the parade for the first time. Paint the Night, the hugely popular Disneyland parade that features over a million vibrant lights on a variety of high-tech floats, is now at California Adventure, with a focus on Pixar movies. A new Incredibles float will be joining Paint the Night in June, when Incredibles 2 comes to theaters.
