It’s finally time for Pixar Fest in Disneyland!
We LOVE a good festival, and this one is especially exciting because it’s brand new! We’re taking you with us to enjoy all the new entertainment, character meet and greets, merch, and so much more! Let’s gooooooo!
Pixar Fest runs April 26 through August 4th in Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. The good news is if you’re not there today, you have plenty of time to plan your trip!
Pixar Fest Merchandise
It wouldn’t be a special event in Disneyland without a collection of limited-edition souvenirs! We’re taking you shopping to check out the special collection of Pixar Fest T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, and more!
We spotted the super popular Lug bag — Pixar-themed — at the Emporium for $65!

The festival food booths won’t open until May 10th (and you’d better believe we’ll be back to try it all and bring you reviews), but right now, there’s still lots of special food and drinks available around the resort, like this Pineapple Coconut Float inspired by the shortLava.
