Get ready for brand-new parades, shows, and character experiences, as Disneyland confirms an incredible lineup for Pixar Fest. The festival is back for an extended period, running from 26th April until 4th August, 2024.
Disney has described the festival as a “celebration of friendship and beyond,” slating that this year’s offering will be mostly new experiences. Though, like in previous years, guests will be able to celebrate with their favourite Pixar characters and enjoy a magical nighttime spectacular.
Here’s what’s on the lineup for 2024…
The 2024 Pixar Fest Lineup
Disneyland has teased an epic selection of Pixar Fest-exclusive merchandise – the most exciting of which is a Pizza Planet Truck popcorn bucket. As well as this, guests will be able to shop from a range of Pixar spirit jerseys, baseball shirts, bags, and plenty more.
Plus, Disneyland has shared some of the delicious food and beverage offerings that will be available throughout the festival. The iconic Pixar Fest cake will return to Plaza Inn, while the likes of Portorosso Pasta, Hanger Management, and Gusteau’s To-Go will be serving up reimagined takes on classic dishes.

A brand-new parade will also debut at Pixar Fest. Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! will take place throughout the day in Disney California Adventure park.
This high-energy parade will feature more than 24 Pixar characters, including new faces like Red Panda Mei from Turning Red, Joe Gardner and 22 from Soul, and Luca and Alberto from Luca. They will be joined by the likes of Mr. Incredible, Miguel from Coco, and Mike and Sulley for a grand Pixar finale – you do not want to miss it.
Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular
One of the most exciting parts of Pixar Fest is the Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular, which will return to Disneyland in 2024. This emotional show has been meticulously crafted by Walt Disney Imagineers to bring the most tender moments from Pixar movies to life.
This year, the spectacular will feature new scenes from Onward, Soul, Luca, Turning Red, and Elemental. Projections, lasers, and an iconic Disney soundtrack will captivate guests from multiple locations in Disneyland, including the Rivers of America, It’s a Small World facade, and Main Street, U.S.A.
Psst… Keep an eye on your MagicBand+ during the show as it will come to life with lights and vibrations synchronised to the music.
Club Pixar at Hollywood Backlot
During the evening, Hollywood Backlot will transform into Club Pixar. This is where guests will be able to party with their favourite Pixar characters. Expect dance parties, live performances, games, and an array of exclusive food and beverage options.
And that's not all – we're sure Disneyland will have plenty more surprises lined up when Pixar Fest returns to Disneyland this summer. All events are included in regular park entry.
