Pixar Fest returns April 26 through August 4, 2024 at the Disneyland Resort and today we're excited to share everything you need to know about ‘Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!’ Parade.

We are so excited that our team will be at the Disneyland Resort for the kick-off of Pixar Fest this spring—including checking out this limited time, all new Pixar Parade!

We know this parade is going to be a huge hit! It’s been years since we’ve seen a full scale Pixar parade at Disneyland Resort and fans are ready.

Here are a few of the most important details on where to watch and when the parade runs.

/
• Find current Pixar Pals Celebration Parade time on the Disneyland app under the entertainment section.
• Parade runs twice daily so you’ll be sure to catch it once or even twice!
• Pixar Pals parade runs along the expansive parade route in California Adventure. We like finding spots near Guardians of the Galaxy and in Paradise Gardens Park.

Who will you see during this celebration parade? In addition to dynamic and colorful floats, you’ll experience views of high-energy dancers and appearances by more than two dozen Pixar characters!

Disney has already shared a sneak peek of who you’ll see:

• Red Panda Mei and her friends from “Turning Red”
• Pixar’s favorite boy band, 4*Town from “Turning Red”
• Joe Gardner and 22 from “Soul”
• Luca, Alberto and Giulia from “Luca”
• Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl from “The Incredibles”
• Miguel from “Coco”
• Mike and Sulley from “Monsters, Inc.,” and Woody, Jessie
• Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story”

More characters are expected to make appearances not only during the parade but also at meet and greets throughout the festival.

Looking for a comfy seat with a view? Treat yourself to Pixar-inspired food and treats at Sonoma Terrace. Then, enjoy prime viewing of the parade.

For $69 per person, you’ll get:

• A delicious selection of Pixar-inspired foods, desserts and cheeses
• Unlimited soft drinks and bottled water—plus coffee and a specialty mocktail
• Reserved seating for parade viewing at Sonoma Terrace

Dining begins about 45 minutes prior to the parade time so you’ll have lots of time to enjoy your desserts and watch the show.

If you think you’ve seen a Pixar parade before at Disneyland Resort, you’re right!

Pixar Play Parade was a fan favorite that debuted in Disney California Adventure Park and later moved to Disneyland Park.

This parade was led by the Pixar Lamp and Pixar Ball and included characters such as Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong from Inside Out. We also loved seeing Carl, Doug, Russell and Kevin from UP.

We can’t wait to see if other favorites from the Pixar Play return like sequences from "a bug's life" and Finding Nemo.
