ANAHEIM, Calif. – Beloved Pixar Animation Studios stories and characters come to life at Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park, a land that features attractions such as the thrilling Incredicoaster and interactive Toy Story Midway Mania!, Pixar-inspired food, character sightings and shopping. This reimagined seaside waterfront debuted in 2018.
Pixar Pier consists of five distinct “neighborhoods” themed around the excitement and eclecticism of Pixar, including Pixar Pier Entry, Incredibles Park, Toy Story Boardwalk, Pixar Promenade and Inside Out Headquarters.
What’s new: Starting May 16, 2025, Toy Story Midway Mania! will incorporate themed design elements nodding to the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration.
Attractions:
- Incredicoaster – A super-speedy coaster adventure with the Parr family to chase after the elusive baby Jack-Jack (offers Lightning Lane access with the purchase of Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Premier Pass*).
- Pixar Pal-A-Round – Take in the view on a unique Ferris wheel that offers swoops, swings and slides, or a still, relaxing experience.
- Toy Story Midway Mania! – Zip through an exhilarating 4D midway-style game meets ride starring favorite “Toy Story” characters (offers Lightning Lane access with the purchase of Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Premier Pass).

- Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff – In addition to sweets, there’s treasures to be found inside this shop filled with toys, apparel, accessories and more.
Design Inspiration: The design of Pixar Pier takes inspiration from seaside amusement parks and beachfront resorts on the California coast at the turn of the century, including such classic piers as Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz and Pacific Ocean Park in Santa Monica. Pixar Pier features fanciful facades and whimsical towers decorated with colorful festoon lights, murals, graphics and architectural ornaments that vividly showcase Pixar characters.
Entertainment: The land features character greetings with Pixar favorites throughout the day. At Incredibles Park, guests can strike a pose with Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Incredible. The nearby Toy Story Boardwalk has Woody, Bo Peep and Buzz Lightyear ready to make new friends. Over at Pixar Promenade, Joy, Sadness and Anger are ready to express their emotion with guests. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Pixar Animation Studios film franchise “Toy Story,” Rex will make his debut at Pixar Pier in California Adventure for a limited time beginning June 1, 2025.
