This summer the pier along Paradise Bay in Disney California Adventure Park transformed into Pixar Pier. This new re-imagined  land brings Pixar characters to life through exciting themed attractions, entertainment and specialty food and merchandise. With four distinct areas, everything found in Pixar Pier celebrates our favorite and beloved Pixar characters and stories. Here is a look at Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure.

Enter Pixar Pier under a marquee framing a fabulously fun-filled land with four distinct neighborhoods:

  • Incredibles Park
  • Toy Story Boardwalk
  • Pixar Promenade
  • Inside Out Headquarters – coming soon.

Throughout each neighborhood you will be surrounded by the beloved characters from some of our favorite films. The details are all over the place!

Pixar Pier Character Photos Opportunities

What would a visit to a Disney Park be without Character Photos?  Pixar Pier offers some favorites too. While not guaranteed, here is an idea of who you could expect to see. Keep in mind characters are not always guaranteed and subject to change without notice. Have your camera ready!
