    Pixar Fest!
    Jizelle O.

    Awesome festival to check out, especially if you have kids! You get the whole Disneyland experience with the addition of new Pixar-themed food, treats and rides. Cars Land had Lightning McQueen and Mater dresses like Woody and Buzz Lightyear. There are churro carts scattered all over the parks with limited specialty flavors such as "Ants on a log", pineapple and Mexican chocolate! There are Pixar parades that people save spots for more than an hour in advance (crazy). It gets really packed super packed so if you can, avoid the weekends. Gotta love spending the day at the happiest place on Earth!

    This trip was by far my favorite memory with my parents. Originally we were supposed to go to San Antonio but we found out it was cheaper to fly to Anaheim. So we saw Disney was having Pixar Fest so we knew we had to go! Pixar Fest was amazing! They had so many exclusive items that revolves around Pixar! They had a special parade as well every night! It was truly a one of a kind experience and I am very glad that I got to spend it with my mom and dad! It will go down as my most special memory that I was able to have with my parents.

    Disney's first annual Pixar Fest 2018 | Pixar Pier opens this summer; June 23rd!

    Pixar Fest - A celebration of all things Pixar at both Disneyland and DCA! This is the Disneyland Resorts first annual Pixar Fest and it's pretty guh'roooovie! I was there on April 12th; the last day of Disney's Annual Wine & Food Festival - "We came, we ate, we drank, and then ate some more!... 'And drank some more as well!" The park wasn't as crowded as I had anticipated for the last day of the F&W Festival, awesome! The weather was a cool 73F; it was a very good day. Since it was the "Pixar Fest Eve," Disneys was getting everything in place for the premier of its first annual event the following day; it was like getting a sneak peek of the next day's events. Also, it was "press day @ the park," the media presence was there in full force along with quite a few Disneys suits & business skirts. Although, there was no official announcement of a parade, the park was setting up the route; not to mention the "reserved seating" areas. I spoke to a few cast members who were awesome enough to tell me that guests were in for a special treat, a preview of the new parades. (In truth, they are not "new," but more revised; version 2.0) However, there are a couple of new parade floats; cool. There's a great, new Pixar fireworks showcase @ DL too; it's a must-see! What's on the itinerary?! "Together Forever" - A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular | DL Pixar Play Parade | DL Paint the Night Parade | DCA Pixar Shorts Film Festival | DCA Pixar Pals at Paradise Gardens | DCA The Pixarmonic Orchestra | DCA 'And of course the attractions: Toy Story Midway Mania | DCA Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters | DL Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage | DL Radiator Springs Racers | DCA Monsters Inc - Monstropolis | DCA 'And did I mention the Pixar Fest themed eats and gear?! They have a two piece, collectible, Mike & Sully sippy-cup and popcorn container set that can be connected into one, larger piece; very cool. Of course, there's Pixar Fest t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and exclusive Disney AP swag was well. (Also, Pixar themed.) They have a very nice, Hawaiian shirtesque, an AP exclusive that runs a bit $$. I was going to get it but the $$ made me think twice... 'But not for too long. - LOL Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pixar-fest-anaheim-3?select=xtjZpuPukQ-vBpz2PKuAVg&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ 'And I picked up a hat too; one can never have TOO MANY hats. (Fellahs, am I right?!) Note: All new items can be embroidered with your name, AP logo, or just about anything. A friend told me to put "DJ," on the back... I briefly thought about it but said, "Why?... 'Am I going to forget that it's my hat?!" LOL - So, instead I got "Aloha!" Pixar Fest spans both Disneys and DCA; keep your eye open for Pixar Fest specialty menu items. I am a big fan of Corn Dog Castle, more specifically the hot link corn dog. (Another must-try that I highly recommend.) CDC has a novel, trifecta of a spicy corn dog called the "Temperamental Taste-Shifting Corn Dog," and it works! The sweet & spicy sauce compliments the sh'picy corn dog beautifully! Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pixar-fest-anaheim-3?select=I0Y-tuIKpHM1U8CkMIsHtA&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ If you're a fan of the hot link corn dog, I highly recommend giving this, available for a limited time only, corn dog! Q: What is it? A: Hot link sausage, pepper jack cheese, Cajun chicken sausage; all in one corn dog and served with a sweet/spicy blackberry-serrano chile sauce. Tip: Walk over to the Karl Strauss Beer Truck and grab a nice cold beer; pairs great with the hot link! A couple of cast members also recommended that I try the "Pixar Lemon Raspberry Cake," which I ate with an Anchor Blood Orange Blonde. (I was trying to keep it healthy by staying with a fruit theme.) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pixar-fest-anaheim-3?select=BLP_X0ERbueKW1HZjzDYtQ&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ Oh, did I also mention that DL has a Pizza Planet? I thought, coolness level; a zillion! I told my Disney co-pilot, let's do a pop-in and check it out. It was cool BUT I expected more; a lot more. (Shrugs) So, before you go spending $10 for a slice or $40 for a whole pie; I advise you check it out before hand, take a walk around, survey the food land, and then decide. Just say, we didn't stay stop to eat. We've been back several times since Pixar Fest opened. One of the best perks to having an AP is the ability to come & go without any pressure to stay 12 hours in one visit. (Well, that along with the discounts and exclusive offers are also perks!) I was just there yesterday, 05/16/18, and the initial crowds for Pixar Fest have dropped significantly. It has been a long while since I've seen such a low attendance; weather was a very cool, 70F; it was a GREAT day. I highly suggest you get in while you can before the summer crowds start ramping up and blackout dates start kicking in! - Big Aloha! Food: 4 Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Value: 4

    DCA hosted the Paint the Night parade, it was our first time seeing it, they had lots of Pixar characters, very cool light show. We found some good viewing spots, the show lasted 20 min or so.

    Melissa N.

    Finally!!!! A celebration of Pixar characters all over the park! The new firework show had tons of colorful lights, lasers, and fireworks illuminating the sky! There's even a little surprise flying over the castle! Once again Disney outdoes itself with their shows. You better be prepared to drop a lot of $$$ cause I swear I had to buy Pixar everything. I got the giant alien macaroon, the Pixar fest pin, the sulley popcorn box with the Mike wizowski sipper (they clip together to make a duo) and shirt. I wanted to buy more but had to stop myself. Its so fun to look at all the new editions to the park!

    Well the Incredicoaster might have been down on our recent Disney CA visit, but the Pixar Fest food stands were still open, and we enjoyed so many snacks, all day long.

I've driven by…read moreit many times and remembered going to Hobby City when it was at the same location (which has been closed for years). If you have kids, this is worth a visit and is affordable. Parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces when their isn't other events or services going on at the same location. My first visit was for a family kid's birthday party, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The party itself was organized well and had its own area inside one of the buildings. We had our own area decorated (you can bring your own decorations, too), and the food was fantastic for amusement park food. We had pizza, turkey sandwiches, chicken tenders, soda, and punch. We had about an hour for lunch before being released to enjoy the rest of the park. Many of the staff were kind during the party and throughout the park and made the experience that much nicer. The variety of rides here will please most young kids and adults. There are a couple of roller coasters, a carousel, a train that circles once around the park, and many more rides. I'm surprised how much they fit into the park space. There is also an arcade and a petting zoo. For food in the park, you have the standard burgers, pizza, tenders, pretzels, churros, ICEE, ice cream, and more. The prices aren't too bad either. Plenty of snacks and merch to purchase, too. There are also plenty of places to sit and relax, with shaded areas. Especially needed during a warm SoCal day. It was the first time for many guests in our party, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Many of the kids want to go back and have their birthday parties here next year, too.

The rides are definitely fit for my precious girl. She did not want to leave. The only negative I would say is that the arcade is waaay too loud.

One thing that surprised me was that the wait times for the rides weren't as bad as I expected, especially considering how busy the park can get. We were able to get on quite a few rides without spending the entire day standing in line, which made the visit much more enjoyable. There's a good mix of rides and attractions for both kids and adults, so everyone in the family was able to find something they enjoyed. We also loved walking around the park and taking in the atmosphere. Even with the heat, there were plenty of places to take a break and cool down. Overall, it was a fun family day and a great way to spend time together. The heat was probably the biggest challenge, but it didn't take away from the experience.

Especially Xcelerator. Ghost Rider was a scream-fest also. Calico Mine Ride was more my speed. LOL! We've been to Knott's for Knott's "Scary" Farm during Halloween time and that was way more to our liking. It had scary thrills with very good actors, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. Thrill seekers, Knott's is def for you. There is no shortage of rides for you. Knott's Scary Farm around Halloween is great too for those who love to be spooked and chased by chainsaw wielding fiends.

I took a solo trip and had an excellent day despite a few hiccups along the way. The first thing I did was book it over to the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT ride. I got incredibly lucky. The Lightning Lane reservations were basically booked until almost 9 PM, and the standby wait was around 90 minutes. The Cast Member working customer service noticed I was by myself and worked a little Disney Magic to get me on. I really appreciated that! Easily one of the best rides in the park. I loved the reimagining of the old Tower of Terror and had an absolute blast. I tried to make it up front to meet Oswald, but his meet and greet suddenly disappeared from the app. I really wanted to meet him, but it's all good. I'll have to catch him on my next visit to California. The exact same thing happened with Black Panther. My top two character meet and greets canceled on me! That's probably my biggest complaint of the day, but let's be real, it's definitely a #FirstWorldProblem. Radiator Springs Racers had about a 70-minute wait, and you have to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane if you want to skip the regular line. Thankfully, the Single Rider line was only about 20 minutes, so I threw my Galaxy Buds in and thugged it out. Worth it! Cars Land itself is also incredibly immersive and beautifully designed. Walking around actually made me want to go back and watch the Cars movies again. Next, I kicked it over to Pixar Pier and rode the Incredicoaster. Easily one of my favorite rides between both Disneyland parks. It is so much fun from the moment you're strapped in and launched off to the sound of Dash's voice. 10/10. Loved it! Definitely grab a Lightning Lane because that line gets long FAST. Afterward, I saw Baymax was doing a meet and greet and hopped in line literally right before he went on a 15-minute break. After waiting, Baymax came back out with Hiro! I've never met Hiro at Disney before and honestly didn't even know he did meet and greets, so that was a really nice surprise. Then I went to ride Toy Story Midway Mania, but it broke down for the day after I had already waited about 20 minutes in line. Y'all, my luck was fluctuating UP and down all day. Haha. I wrapped up the day with Goofy's Sky School and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Sky School broke down too, but thankfully it came back up pretty quickly. I had a Lightning Lane and was already near the front. That being said, I probably would not ride it again. It was way too rickety for me, and my head kept knocking against the back of the seat. WEB SLINGERS was basically the same experience I had at Disneyland Paris, except this time it was in English, so I could actually understand the backstory of the ride! If you like Marvel and/or video games, it's definitely a must ride. Come to think of it, this ride broke down for a little while too. The Disney mechanics were OFF that day! Thankfully, these days everybody has earbuds and smartphones, so the extended waits didn't bother me too much. I ended the day with seeing Goofy and Mickey and some souvenir shopping for family and friends. Something about a Disney visit isn't complete to me without seeing Mickey Mouse! He was as energetic and effervescent as ever. He loved my Oswald the Rabbitt shirt. :) All in all, I had a great day and would absolutely come back again. There are still rides I didn't get to experience, and hopefully next time I can finally catch the Oswald and Black Panther meet and greets I missed. California Adventure has seriously stepped its game up since I first visited as a kid in 2001. Twenty-five years later, it feels like an entirely different park, and I had a great time exploring it all over again.

We were able to get a decent deal with a grand bear suite, water park passes, kid wolf pass, and breakfast Buffett. They put a bracelet on you and that's all you need to get in room, water park, pay for food, gifts, snacks, etc. Nice not having to carry stuff. Room was clean, bed bug free (I check thoroughly), and the AC works well. We had a toilet that wouldn't flush they sent someone immediately, he used the room ice bucket to pour tap water into the back of tank which was odd to us but whatever we didn't plan on using it (we had a mini cooler with us). The indoor water park is super fun, bring goggles and eye drops because the chlorine is strong. Really strong!!! Lazy creek is the only ride that wasn't the clearest. Especially by the end of the day. Outdoor pool is lovely. Really refreshing. We were there during the week and it wasn't crowded at all. They have fun little kid activities afternoons and evenings. Food was great in the restaurant, pizza place, Buffett, and ice cream place. Free cups of ice water everywhere I asked for one. Mini golf was geared towards young kids(7 and under), adults don't waste your money. The kids enjoyed jungle climbing thing, and the obstacle course in the sky! It's a cashless resort but staff will accept cash tips if your service is exceptional and you feel generous. I'm not sure but I think tips are included with package deal at least they were with ours. The Fireside restaurant was good, however if you have dietary restrictions I wouldn't trust them, the chef came out discussed restriction with us, and when food came out and after asking confirming 3 separate times yes it was gluten free only to have the waiter come back to the table and take it away because it was not gluten free. Lucky for us our friend had only a small bite and knew it wasn't gluten free. They brought out another they assured us was but by that point we didn't trust. The pizza place and breakfast buffet were fabulous and were able to accommodate restriction easily. Arcade super fun ask the workers about deals they were pretty generous and we won a couple of jackpots! Great ticket/prize set up not like chuckechese nightmare! Lazer tag kids had fun. Parking is ridiculously expensive $35 a day self park even if you are staying overnight. Still super good time was had by all, and no one got sick so that's great!
