Pixar Fest is a full-on celebration of friendship represented through the stories and characters of Disney Pixar movies. And IT. IS. ON! all over Disneyland Resort starting today through September 3, 2018!
The fun spans both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure with a celebration that includes a new nighttime spectacular, two returning parades, Pixar characters, themed food and drinks, and more.
Heather Sievers (@diningindisney) has been on the scene, making her way around both parks to take in the sights and bites at Pixar Fest. And we will be sharing reviews of LOTS of the Pixar Fest food soon!
See the full list of food — and everything else you need to know — about Pixar Fest here!
But in the meantime, let’s take a peek at all the fun that officially kicks off TODAY! From Fried Bologna Sandwiches at Carnation Cafe inspired by the Pixar film, Up…
… to Jessie’s Berry Jubilee Funnel Cake (topped with blueberries, strawberries, chocolate cookie crumbles, crème anglaise, white chocolate, and gold-dusted whipped cream) at Stage Door Cafe in honor of Toy Story, there are so many ways to celebrate your favorite Pixar flicks with something that just might become your new favorite food!
We’ll be bringing you reviews of these and more items at the Fest! Take, for instance, the already-famous Carrot Cake Churro found at the Churro Cart in New Orleans Square.
And the Cocoa Churro (inspired by Coco) in Frontierland!
Find out about ALL of the Pixar Fest Churros here!
In fact, entire restaurants are getting in on the themed fun…
Alien Pizza Planet
The Little Green Aliens from Toy Story have taken over Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port and turned it into Alien Pizza Planet for the duration of Pixar Fest! See our full review here!
Those little green men are serving up pizza by the slice — including Cheeseburger Pizza! — along with specialty pastas (like the Green Miso Pesto Pasta below) and themed desserts.
We have a full review of Alien Pizza Planet — “A Better Place” coming soon. In the meantime, check out the full menu for the Pixar-themed overlay here!
Super fun, right? And among all the bright, super-themed foods, you can find gorgeous specialty items for the Fest like this Potato-Leek Soup at Royal Street Veranda.

And there’s even more to take in where this came from…
Pixar Fest Entertainment
Disneyland Park is hosting the new nighttime spectacular, Together Forever, where pyrotechnics, music, and projections onto iconic locations around the park combine to celebrate the theme of friendship.
And the Pixar Play Parade has returned for the occasion, this time at Disneyland park.

Meanwhile, Disney California Adventure gets a returning parade, too, as the new home to the popular Paint the Night Parade.
Other entertainment at Disney California Adventure includes the Pixar Shorts Film Festival, music and character meets in Paradise Gardens, and the AP Corner for Disneyland Annual Passholders.
And the celebration will only get bigger once a whole new Land — Pixar Pier — opens on June 23, 2018!

As you can see, there are so many ways to celebrate fun and friendship through the characters, stories (and now FOOD!) of Pixar!
