Pixar Play Parade | Off to Neverland Travel

Pixar Play Parade on Hiatus

The first Pixar-themed, roaming show started last week at Disney California Adventure® theme park, which is giving an entertainment alternative while the Pixar Play Parade is on hiatus. The park plans to host shows using characters and props from the Pixar Play Parade for most of this year.

The Disneyland® Resort put the parade on break until November while major construction is ongoing in the park. A show based on “The Incredibles” movie, called “The Incredibles: Heroes in Training Squad,” is set to begin Friday, said John McClintock, a Disneyland® Resort spokesman. It will run six times, five days a week. The tentative schedule is: 11 a.m., noon, 1, 2:15, 3:15 and 4:15 p.m.

The show will go on in front of the ElecTRONica stage near the park’s entrance or in front of the cloud-painted wall of the Hyperion Theater in Hollywood Pictures Backlot. The second show based on “Monsters Inc.” is scheduled to start Jan. 28.

Pixar Play Parade Brings Interactive Fun

All the exciting and colorful worlds of the Disney•Pixar pals – from “Toy Story,” “a bug’s life,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles,” “Cars” and “Ratatouille” – come to life in the all-new Pixar Play Parade in Disney’s California Adventure® Park as part of The Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disneyland® Resort.

Characters from every Disney•Pixar motion picture will appear in the magical immersive parade, which will invite you to take part in the playfulness of a whirling, spinning, fun-for-all animated playground. The parade features acrobatics, bungees, high-energy choreography, interactive surprises and lively bubble and water effects.

Pixar Play Parade features a dozen parade floats up to two stories tall, themed to Disney•Pixar movies and equipped with fun and surprising movement and effects. Encouraging everyone to dance, play and clap along, Mike, Sulley and their monster buddies from “Monsters, Inc.” will lead the procession.

Next up is a flowerbed of hopping, swinging bugs: the colony from “a bug’s life.” Then “The Incredibles” will zoom into view, superhero style, aboard amazing hovercrafts. But watch out! The sinister Omnidroid is on the loose and baby Jack-Jack could burst into flames at any moment!

From there it’s into the bubbling world of Dory, Marlin, Crush, Bloat and the colorful underwater friends from “Finding Nemo,” who invite everyone to “play in schools” (schools of fish, that is). “Ratatouille’s” Remy and Emile are serving up fun, too, turning their kitchen into a super soapy pool of creativity with kids and families as the main ingredients.

Woody and the “Toy Story” gang arrive next to encourage guests to kick up their heels, while Buzz Lightyear and the Little Green Aliens celebrate just how universal play can be, in any galaxy. Finally, after the parade has been revving up guests throughout the route, lovable Mater and his flashy buddy Lightning McQueen from “Cars” will bring up the rear.

Pixar Play Parade is now presented daily in Disney’s California Adventure Park as part of The Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disneyland Resort.
