Disney just dropped a ton of announcements about what’s happening in 2025 at Disneyland.

We got dates for some fun After Hours events. We got more details about Disneyland’s huge 70th Anniversary Celebration. We learned when Halloween Time and the holiday season begins. We learned when the Red Car Trolley would close to make way for an Avengers Campus expansion. We also learned when we’d get to see the first EVER Walt Disney animatronic. SO much. BUT...there was something missing from those announcements: details about Pixar Fest!

Pixar Fest debuted last year in Disneyland as a huge months-long festival to celebrate all things Pixar. The festival ran from April 26th through August 24th and brought special character appearances, loads of Pixar-themed snacks, a brand-new parade, photo ops, a special fireworks show,  Pixar-themed food booths inspired by different Pixar movies, and SO much more!

We assumed this would be an annual tradition, but when Disney released its dates for everything it had planned in Disneyland for 2025, Pixar Fest was notably absent. So what gives? Did Pixar Fest get scrapped already?

Well, considering it’s NOT on the schedule, it does seem like Pixar Fest might not be a thing next year, maybe to make way for the 70th Anniversary Celebration. The 70th Anniversary Celebration is expected to last through summer 2026, so that could mean we won’t see Pixar Fest again, at least until 2027, IF it comes back.

However, the new parade introduced during Pixar Fest, Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! Parade, IS returning in California Adventure. This is a daytime parade that includes nearly 30 Pixar characters from some of the most popular Pixar movies.

But as far as the whole Pixar Fest thing goes? It looks like it might not be happening next year. Disney has neither confirmed nor denied this, so we’re just speculating, but considering it’s not on the schedule, it’s likely it’s not happening.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.
