There is no official debut date for the upcoming Pixar-inspired parade. Still, Disney Parks Blog announced that Pixar Fest is set to return to Disneyland Resort from April 26 through August 4, 2024, which means a possible debut between those dates is likely.
The debut of the all-new daytime parade, “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” at Disney California Adventure won’t be the only exciting offering at Disneyland Resort for 2024’s Pixar Fest. At Disneyland Park, the emotional “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” is set to return with some all-new scenes. Guests may encounter new characters throughout the celebration, such as Ember and Wade from Elemental (2023), Red Panda Mei from Turning Red, and more.
Disneyland Park is also set to welcome an event celebrating the Star Wars franchise at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with an all-new fireworks show and an exciting upgrade at Star Tours – The Adventures Continue. This event — called Season of the Force — is set to run from April 5 through June 2, 2024, at Disneyland Park.
