I know a lot of people don't like change, but leave it to Disney to change what was good into something even better! Sure Paradise Pier was pretty good, but it was pretty much a hodge podge collection of Californian stuff with a few Disney things thrown in. I like that it is now a collection of everything Pixar. I might be a little biased as Toy Story, Up, and the Incredibles are some of my favorites. read more

Today, Jan. 8th, DCA's Paradise Pier is headed off into the horizon... 'And will usher in a new chapter with Pixar Pier. **This is more of a PSA than a full fledged review. DCA has faced its challenges since opening day in 2001 but since has made attempts to remedy the situation but as Walt Disney believed, the park was to be an on going evolving process and never be truly "complete."

Pixar Pier - Swirl soft serve - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

I came back here early June this year (2010) and they changed it! They got rid of all the fruit flavors and now only serve vanilla, chocolate or swirl. Of course I had to ask if they were coming back and they told me there were no plans of having the flavors return :( I'm super bummed. This is one of my favorite ice cream places ever! Oh please bring back my strawberry and lemon swirl! read more

My daughter and I have been Pixar fans since the invention of well...Pixar! This was such a fun experience to come here. We wanted to go on their coaster before, but since they made it even more Incredible, it was super high on the bucket list. It was well worth the trip over here! So great! I love the theming of this land, so many great characters to draw from! The coaster even poked fun at the fact that it was a previous ride. Then we had the iconic Jack Cookie Num Num chocolate chip cookie, so hot, ooey gewwy, and delicious. I would travel here just for another bite. The Toy Story areas is wonderful. We went on the Jessie Merry-go-round the Toy Story Mania rides, two thumbs up for each. Then headed over to another bucket list food item, the multicolored awesome slushie at Bing Bongs. I loved the Inside Out theming and rides. We did not get a chance to ride everything since there was so much to do in California Adventure in general, so we had to pick and choose our favorites first. I would have liked to have spent even more time here. There were many other things to eat, buy, play, and experience. You could probably spend half a day here in this land alone. I loved it! read more

Paradise Pier is a section of DCA that has a lot to offer. When I think about spending days out at the Santa Monica Pier, I'm led to believe that Disney did a great job as they brought all of the elements that one would expect to find at the pier into the setting at DCA. Mickey's Fun Wheel takes center stage because it's so massive! California Screamin' is also quite massive and really blends in quite well with the colorful, brightly lit Fun Wheel. You can shop along the boardwalk or play a few games. Don't forget to satisfy your taste buds while munching on a churro or even letting some cotton candy get stuck between your teeth! World of Color takes place here and this area can become quite congested after 6:30pm. Don't forget to say hello to Donald who is stationed next to Ariel's Grotto. read more

Pixar Pier - large vanilla cone - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

My family and I love walking around through Paradise Pier at Disney's California Adventure Park. It is a themed area based on Victorian boardwalks that were once found along the coast of California. Despite it's name, it's not actually a pier, but a waterside area of the park. The roller coaster California Screamin' covers most of the area and other attractions, games, restaurants and shops are scattered around it. Some of our favorite attractions here include Toy Story Midway Mania, Mickey's Fun Wheel, and their amazing evening water show, The World of Color. The wide sidewalks and large open air spaces make you feel less cramped and crowded walking around in comparison to the lands in their sister park, Disneyland. read more

Pixar Pier was one of our favorite parts of California Adventures. The only complaint is Pal Around the Ferris wheel. There are cars that spin and cars that remain still. The cast member rushed us so fast we got into a spinning cart and man did it every make me sick. The vomit bags were almost needed. it made for a rough morning start. We went straight for the incredicoaster and had no line. Great time just wish the cast member would have given us the option of NOT spinning. read more

Pixar Pier is the latest iteration of Paradise Pier at Disney California Adventure Park. The Pixar theme is incorporated throughout the area with a complete retheme on the rides, storefronts, games, and food. Pixar Pier looks awesome. Currently Pixar Pals formerly known as Mickey's Funwheel, has been repainted with your favorite Pixar characters. What was California Screamin' is now the Incredicoaster, complete with new storyline. There is new food as well. Lemon Dole Whip can be found at the Snowman treats stand. Angry Dogs is sponsored by none other than Anger (from Inside Out). Get your churros at Señor Buzz. Right under the Incredicoaster, there's a cookie cart where you can get 3 types of cookies. The Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num is the giant chocolate chip one. There will be a Bing Bong's candy palace adjacent to the Pixar carnival games area. Leave it to Disney to take something old and rebrand it with something new. Check it out if you haven't been; it'll still be there long after PixarFest is done this summer. read more

A solid 4.5 stars. Or at least it was......UNTIL THEY CHANGED ALL OF THE AWESOME FLAVORS. Now, instead of having cotton candy and bubblegum....they only have chocolate and vanilla. I am hoping this is temporary. I hope that once all of the tourists go away, we can return to the awesomeness that is the off season, and I can get my lovely blue swirled cotton candy cone back. Until then....2 stars. read more

I don't really like eating ice cream when it's hot. I like a giant double scoop on a cold day so that I can take my time eating it. But here we were at Disneyland on a hot hot day, standing in line for ice cream. I decided just to stick with water, but my husband ordered a root beer float and I ended up sharing it with him. It was really, really good. The prices were good and the float was yummy! We were lucky there wasn't much of a line ahead of us so we were only standing in the sun a few minutes before getting our order. read more

Pixar Pier - Root beer float time at Disneyland - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Paradise Pier, one of the eight districts inside Disney California Adventure. "Pier" in name only, is a the area that surrounds Paradise Bay, the large body of water which hosts World of Color nightly. Paradise Pier takes inspiration from the old pier side amusements that once adorn the coastline of California. When Disney's California Adventure first opened in 2001, Paradise Pier was mainly a cement "pier" and nothing really stood out that would take you back to the old seaside pier amusement. Of course, the main draw on Paradise Pier was (and in part still is) the big roller coaster that spans the distance of the Pier district, California Screamin'. After years of never living up to the hype of Disneyland, they knew they needed to start investing in Disney's California Adventure needed. Skip ahead to 2006, Mali-burritos and Strips, Dips 'n' Chips closed for the construction on Toy Story Midway Mania, which would open two years later in 2008. Toy Story Midway Mania's themed housing redefined the look and feel of what the 2001 version of Paradise Pier was going for. The opening and success of Toy Story Midway Mania made it possible for Disney to invest and reinvent Disney California Adventure. It was decided to make over Paradise Pier. With the Victorian era themed building of Toy Story Midway Mania, many areas around the Pier had to be redesigned or taken away. The Sun Wheel became Mickey's Fun Wheel, The Orange Stinger became Silly Symphony Swings, Mulholland Madness made way for Goofy's Sky School and The Games of the Boardwalk were rethemed completely with references to Casey (from the animated short Casey at the Bat), Dumbo, Goofy, and Bullseye (from Toy Story 2 fame). The Malliboomer, which was located near Mickey's Fun Wheel was taken away as it didn't fit in the the theme Disney was going for. The area that once was the home of the S.S. Rustworthy, Burger Invasion, Pizza Oom Mow Mow is now the dinning location of both Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta and Paradise Garden Grill. The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure was a new attraction built for Paradise Pier The Pier has come a long way from the 2001 version and tries better to capture that seaside amusement of days gone by read more

Pixar Pier - Early morning at the Pier inside Disney California Adventure - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

After eating two of the most awesomest corn dogs know to man (please see Corndog Castle review), my sweet tooth was looking for a little love. I had a hankering for one of them Mickey shaped ice cream sammiches at the carts, but alas-- I am a California girl and thus I had no cash. The boy asked the cart attendant if there was an ice cream place that took credit and we were directed to either Catch-a-Flave or Burr Bank. Since we were closer to Paradise Pier, we decided to catch out Catch-a-Flave. By far, one of the best decisions of the day. Not only is it cheaper than the $4 ice cream at the carts, but I think it lasts longer and it's entertaining! Call me a simpleton, but I am highly amused by the swirl in my ice cream and with the 8 or so flavors you can choose from, everyone's tastebuds can be satisfied. At first, I thought it was a run of the mill soft serve yogurt swirl shop. It's not-- it's soft serve ice cream with a flavor swirl mixed on to the side. Even after you lick it off, the flavor is still in there. I got the chocolate swirl. Smooth, creamy, rich. What's not to love? Buy a cone and enjoy it as you hear "3-2-1, BLASTOFF!" along the pier... followed by a few terrified screams. There's nothing like it. read more

Pixar Pier - So good! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

Paradise pier certainly has the California Boardwalk feel but it falls a little short. The recent re-do has done the pier a disservice. The shops and games are cute and fit the theme but we find ourselves not walking past Toy Story Mania. They have very few if any food concession, stores that don't carry special merchandise or any attractions until you reach the other end. Disney needs to find a reason to push traffic further down. Make that end of Paradise Pier a destination like the many other areas in Disney California Adventure. How about a new walk through Disney themed fun house and/or haunted house? read more

Pixar Pier - Night picture :) - Amusement Parks Near Me - Anaheim, California

A nice makeover from Paradise Pier. Others may miss the California theming, but I'd prefer a theme with familiar characters. While the area behind Mickey's Fun Wheel looked incomplete by the time my family came, I'm sure the Pier will look a lot better when it's finished later in the year. read more

I'm not a really soft serve fan, but I decided to give this a try, since we had lots of time to waste before our next fast pass, and the line was relatively short, as compared to its usual length. The price is considerably cheap, as compared to the Dole Whip place over at Disneyland, but $1, or so. Like everyone said, its about .50-60 cents more to get the large, which is pretty good. The only flavors they have though are the usual: vanilla, chocolate, and swirl. After trying it, I'm still not a fan, so I guess the fro yo sensation has converted me and will never get out of my system. But, it's a good treat to have on a hot summer day, or for any first timer, like me! read more

It'll be sad when this place is completely revamped and turned into Pixar Pier. This past weekend when I was there, it was already going through some intense construction & renovation. It'll look much better when the new attractions & Pier debuts on 6/23/2018. Can't wait! read more

This is probably one of the worst hotels we've ever stayed with. Very disappointing for the price. Rooms are very small, and not well appointed. Our AC hardly worked, and we had. A lovely view of the parking lot. Next time I'd rather save the $$ and just book a local hotel right down the road. Don't be fooled that this is a resort hotel, it's not IN the resort and not convenient to walk to either. read more

Clean room, fairly convenient location, and really great staff. Especially Crystal who had a wealth of knowledge to share on how to maximize our trip in both parks. Of all the Disneyland hotels, this is the furthest walk from the parks but it's still nice to be able to take a break from the action for a quick nap and then head back, reenergized. I'd definitely stay here again! read more

***Paradise Pier is intended to remind people of coastal boardwalk amusement parks and Disney pulls it off with a great look and vibe (other pluses include a very clean environment and much shorter waits than Disneyland); Disney brings a modern and thrilling touch too with the small but fun California Screamin' roller coaster and the one-of-a-kind interactive ride Toy Story Midway Mania!*** I might be in the minority, but I prefer Disney California Adventure to Disneyland and its Paradise Pier is one of the main reasons. This area of Disney California Adventure is intended to reflect popular coastal boardwalk amusement parks like the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Disney pulls it off. This part of the Disney California Adventure has a great look with the water and the boardwalk design of the rides, waiting areas, games, and so on. And unlike a lot of amusement parks, this area is very new, clean and well kept. In addition to the great look that Paradise Pier has, it also features some of Disney California Adventure's best attractions. Its roller coaster California Screamin' takes up the most real estate and it does a great job balancing the right design (it looks like a boardwalk wooden roller coaster from a distance) with the fun (this ride is much more modern, thrilling and comfortable than those wooden roller coasters). While this roller coaster does not reach the heights and speeds of the country's top roller coasters, California Screamin' generates a great speed rush to start (from a motor that launches the cars on the track) and a fun and signature loop. The other fun part of this area are the boardwalk games, which you will not find at Disneyland. While there are not a great variety of games here, they are fun and very family friendly. Prizes are a decent quality too and feature popular choices like the Toy Story characters and Dumbo. The signature attraction of Paradise Pier though is Toy Story Midway Mania!, which does a great job of combining the feel of a boardwalk game with a fun and modern interpretation; it also, of course, sprinkles in the great Toy Story characters that Disney is known for. The ride takes you from simulated carnival game to simulated carnival game such as ring toss, dart gun and more. Toy Story Midway Mania! captures the spirit and draw of those carnival games but elevates them with an immersive gameplay and a frenzy of activity, stunning visuals and excellent sound effects. The ride is 3-D and exceptionally well-known, but it is really beyond 3-D since gushes of air are used to create a completely immersive environment. The wait for this ride can be long though it can also be surprisingly short. Regardless of the wait, the ride is well worth it. Toy Story Midway Mania! is one of the funnest amusement park rides anywhere and is the truly rare ride that actually appeals to all ages. Service throughout this area is very nice and up to Disney's high standards. Service might even be a tad more personable than Disneyland given the smaller crowds here. Disney California Adventure's ticket prices are high, but I find the experience here so much more enjoyable than Disneyland because of the smaller crowds. In addition to Paradise Pier, Disney California Adventure also features a very fun tower drop (Twilight Zone Tower of Terror) that integrates several nice special effects and Soarin' Over California (an impressive movie ride), which provide more fun and value for your money. There definitely is a lot more of Paradise Pier that I need to check out like the food as well as their renowned World of Color fountain and light show. I am sure the World of Color presentation will only increase my appreciation for this area of Disney California Adventure. Even without it, Paradise Pier is one of my favorite amusement park areas in the country. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parking is $17 per vehicle. read more

Fashioned after a Victorian Era boardwalk amusement park and possibly inspired by a combination of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and San Francisco's Pier 39, Paradise Pier is charming, colorful, well-designed, and yet cleaner than any public seaside park or pier I have ever been to.. especially one that attracts as many people as DCA does. :: ATTRACTIONS :: * California Screamin' (roller coaster with loops) * Games of the Boardwalk (fishing game, ball toss, etc) * Golden Zephyr (centripetal motion ride w/a view) * Goofy's Sky School (steel roller coaster) * Jumpin' Jellyfish (parachute jump-style ride) * King Triton's Carousel * The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure (storybook ride) * Mickey's Fun Wheel (ferris wheel, sliding or fixed gondolas) * Silly Symphony Swings (wave swinger) * Toy Story Midway Mania! (ride w/virtual boardwalk games, 3d glasses required) * World of Color (epic water and light show) :: DINING :: * Ariel's Grotto (character dining, prix fixe) * Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta (try the pesto ravioli) * Lucky Fortune Cookery (asian-influenced rice bowls) * Pacific Wharf Cafe (soups, sandwiches) * Paradise Garden Grill (skewers, salads) * Bayside Brews (beer, wine, pretzels) * Corn Dog Castle (hot dogs, corn dogs) * Cove Bar (drinks and bar snacks) * Don Tomas (turkey legs, chimichangas) * Ghirardelli (sodas, chocolate, ice cream) * Hot Dog Hut (hot dogs) * Karl Strauss Biergarten (beer, pretzels) * Paradise Pier Ice Cream Co (soft-serve ice cream) * Rita's Baja Blenders (margaritas w/actual alcohol) read more

Oh my soft serve!!! Really cheap and really delicious soft serve. You can't go wrong with this, ESPECIALLY on a hot summer day in LA. It's located on the pier, right by Ariel's Grotto. Just walk past it, see the long line, and power walk to the end of it. Super affordable at $3 a cone. Can't go wrong with Vanilla or Chocolate or Vanilla Chocolate Swirl. It's about a mile high and REALLY takes a lot of work to finish it. This was considered a meal to me. Can't wait to have some more!! read more

Almost 5 stars...almost! If the line had some sort of shade it would definitely get 5 stars. On hot days though, standing in the sun waiting in the always long line is not desirable. Sure the other ice cream options have longer lines but they are also indoors with A/C!! A few standing umbrella's would make a lot of people really happy!! If you want a healthier & less expensive (Large = Under $4) alternative to ice cream in the park, this place has excellent soft serve. Swirl is my fave but for those choc-aholics and boring vanilla people, they've got what you want too . If it's hot outside, prepare to inhale this or it will drip and melt all over you in a matter of minutes. If it's cool out...take your time!! Either way you get PLENTY to satisfy that sweet tooth! I haven't tried their Root Beer Float yet but I hear it's tasty...just more expensive (almost $5) They also sell drinks but if you're anything like me (cheap), I never buy drinks in the park. I bring water with me!! read more

I don't need to take a long time to explain to you the amazing-ness of this soft serve ice cream. It is hands down the BEST soft serve I have ever had. The vanilla is delicious; the chocolate is delicious, and the swirl is just bomb-diggity. Can you tell I like this place? Go there and try it if you haven't as soon as possible. You will know exactly what I am talking about. (Also, the prices aren't an arm and a leg in comparison to other Disney desserts.) read more

catch a flave is one of the few things i liked about california adventure. a few rides make it great. catch a flave makes it awesome. make sure you swing by later in the day or you just may miss out. they are closed early in the day so head back in the afternoon. no matter what you eat save room for a soft serve. you could get the boring vanilla or chocolate but be adventurous and try something new. cotton candy, orange, lemon, butter pecan, and bubblegum are where it's at. orange reminds me of the 50/50 bars of the past. bubble gum takes me back to when i had bubblegum in my ice cream as a kid. get really crazy and mix and match. try a float with your favorite soda and soft serve flavor and take it up a notch. we have a classic drive-thru dairy here in pleasanton where i live and i need to tell them about this concept. they at least need to try some special cones every now and then. i need this because the drive to california adventure is pretty far for me. read more

I've only been to Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company once in ALL my ventures to DCA, but the empty line made it worth it! I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to soft serve, so to satisfy my in-the-moment craving, Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company was a good choice. This is a good option if you don't feel like dealing with the crowds at some of the other ice cream locations in the Park. Note: This ice cream walk-up doesn't seem to be open all the time, so it's always a gamble if you decide to check out the walk-up. Sometimes during normal park hours, I've noticed that the windows were closed. My advice would be to hit up this walk-up window on the way to a ride (Toy Story Mania, etc.) so you can detour if the place is open, but conveniently continue onward to your destination if not. "Swirl Soft Serve Ice Cream Cup": I got the swirl during my first (and only) visit to this walk-up window and opted for the regular size (though the large definitely looked tempting on a hot summer day). The soft serve itself was something you could easily find at another ice cream store ... but hey, everything tastes better in Disneyland. The concoction sported the perfect blend of creamy chocolate and vanilla that started to melt pretty quickly, so I was preoccupied with my treat for the next 10 minutes or so. Though Ghirardelli is the main attraction in DCA when it comes to ice cream, the lines at Paradise Pier Ice Cream tend to be much shorter ... so if you'd rather not wait or experience a crowd, order from this walk-up instead and enjoy your soft serve while watching the riders on California Screamin' shout their heads off! "Vanilla/Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream Cone": Though I always prefer to have my soft serve in a cup, there are vanilla and chocolate cone options as well (in both regular and large sizes). This is a good option if you want a no-fuss, no-frills ice cream staple. However, because I prefer chocolate-dipped cones, I would probably head over to the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land. However, I've seen multiple people ordering the cones at Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company, and they definitely looked yummy. read more

Wait a minute.. they used to have flavors besides vanilla and chocolate!? I wish they didn't change it! I came here last weekend and the only choices were vanilla, chocolate, or swirl.. which isn't too bad but still, the other flavors sound so much better! This is probably just the same type of soft serve that you can get at Mcdonald's for 99 cents, but for Disneyland CA Adventures, $2.99 is actually a really good deal. I ordered the swirl! I will definitely be coming back again the next time I'm craving something sweet and frozen. read more

What an amazing concept! Vanilla soft serve with flavoring swirled with it! My orange cone looked like bright orange Puma sneakers and tasted like what Creamsicle would taste like if it were soft serve. If their catch-a-flave cone isn't proprietary, I hope someone will open up a stand somewhere nearby and sell these delicious cones of love. YEAH BOYYYYYYYY! read more

So, my friend wanted an Ice Cream and wanted it from Catch a Flave. With eight soft serve flavors to choose from, my choice didn't come quickly. After a few minutes contemplating which non-standard flavor to get, I selected grape. I don't know how they added the purple grape flavor swirl to it, I guess it doesn't really matter, it tasted good. The chocolate that my friend got also taste good, ya know, like the taste of Hershey's chocolate syrup, yum! Though it was a twenty minute wait in line, to me, it was worth it. Next time in California Adventure, I'll stop by again for another Flave. read more

Being a former cast member that worked at Catch a Flave, I can still give this place five stars. =) Definitely not the most exciting place to work during the winter, but MAN is it good! The prices are very decent considering you're in Disneyland. They usually swirl you up more product than they're supposed to, so the sizes are good, too. It's vanilla soft serve ice cream with a flavored syrup swirled along the edges (look at the pictures and you'll figure it out). You can get plain vanilla or vanilla plus one flavor: chocolate, strawberry, butter pecan, lemon, orange, grape, bubble gum, or cotton candy. Butter pecan tastes like caramel. Orange tastes like a 50/50 bar. Cotton Candy tastes like Lucky Charms marshmallows. The rest are very true-to-name. Don't ask for two flavors because they just can't do it (unless it's in a cup, but they probably still wouldn't do it... my favorite was always grape and bubble gum). The floats are any of the soft drinks plus the ice cream. Usually it's just vanilla, but I had a few people order Sprite with strawberry or orange and they all raved about it. If you ever have a friend that works there, try a bit of the vanilla in a coffee. The best thing ever! It opens later than the rest of the park since it isn't profitable to have open that early. It closes when it rains. And on rare occasions, the two machines may be temperamental and it will be closed all day. Trust me, it is NOT easy to fix or clean those machines. It's messy, it takes hours, and you go home smelling like edible lubricant. But without those machines, they can only sell drinks. It's Disney, so it's always clean. Service is usually very friendly. There is not really any nearby seating, but it's ice cream. Super portable! Accepts credit. No passholder discounts. read more

One of 4 spots to satisfy your ice cream craving within Disney California Adventure. Hits * Minimal, straightforward menu - vanilla, choco, or swirl in a cup/cone, root beer/coke/sprite floats, and standard fountain drinks/coffee... unlike Clarabelle's limitless hand-dipped possibilities or Ghirardelli's dozens of decadent sundaes and toppings * Relatively shorter wait than the other 3 ice cream locales in the park * Creamy and thick soft serve! Misses * Melts faster than hand-scooped ice cream A good dessert option to hit when passing by the boardwalk. read more

I've been on a soft serve frenzy lately and this is my go to spot at Disney. Even if it is cold, I would crave this. Get a large swirl and share it. The large is only like 50, 60 cents more than the regular. It is HUGE! Don't let it topple over! It really satisfies every sweet bud in the mouth. Before, you were able to choose flavors. I was so sad when it changed to just, chocolate, vanilla, or swirl. Boo. It is still good though. Satisfaction in a cone! -Go! read more

RIP flavor swirls. This place used to be awesome back when they did the cool colorful flavor swirls in options such as cotton candy, bubblegum, lemon, etc. Now it's just a yawner since they only offer vanilla and chocolate soft serve. Not going to lie though...this soft swirl is still pretty freaking fantastic on a hot day. Damn you, Disney! I want to protest this stand for getting rid of the flavor swirls but heck, if I'm at Disney, they've already got my money anyways. Along with being delicious, they're also extremely generous with their portions and it's one of the cheaper snack options in the park. No annual passholder discount here. read more
