I attended an all-included Disney press event for the Incredibles 2 film.
Last year was my first time at Disneyland California when I was covering the history of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and I am absolutely PSYCHED about Disney’s NEW plans for Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park and the new food choices at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim California!
(If you didn’t realize it “Disney in California” is actually split into TWO parks: Disneyland Resort and Disney California Adventure park. They are literally right next to each other and takes only a few minutes to walk in between (different from Orlando where you have to schedule out a big transfer time to move between parks!).)
Tie all of these new amazing Disney food eats below in with Disneyland’s Pixar Fest which runs from April 13-September 3, 2018 – that is one VERY giant Pixar celebration!

What is Pixar Fest?
It’s the BIGGEST theme park celebration of beloved stories and characters from Pixar Animation Studios! (IE – everything my kids watch!) It is coming to the Disneyland Resort (April 13 – Sept. 3, 2018) and features favorite Pixar pals, amazing delicious treats, and even new parade floats and fireworks! Check out my Pixar Fest post here for photos of the new Pixar celebration!
