Disney California Adventure‘s Blue Sky Cellar has long served as a preview center for Disneyland Resort‘s in-development and/or under-construction projects, with previous exhibits focused on Cars Land, Fantasy Faire, and World of Color.

The highly-anticipated Pixar Pier retheming of Paradise Pier coming to DCA this summer is no exception, with a thorough new display having opened this past weekend in conjunction with the resort’s summer-long Pixar Fest celebration. The exhibition includes a large model of the entire area, a working demonstration of how cast members operate rides like the Incredicoaster, and a whole bunch of new concept art detailing the process that went into creating Pixar Pier.
