With Pixar-themed lands like Cars Land and Pixar Pier, along with attractions, themed entertainment, dining, and merchandise, Disneyland Resort offers a variety of experiences for guests to celebrate the themes of friendship and beyond, year-round.

Here are some ways guests can join in on all the Pixar-themed fun:

Immersive Lands and Attractions

• Embark on exciting adventures into the worlds of Pixar stories with two themed lands, Cars Land and Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park. Radiator Springs comes to life in Cars Land with picturesque landscapes and stunning scenery that guests will recognize from the “Cars” films.

• Chat with Crush, the totally tubular sea turtle from “Finding Nemo” and “Finding Dory” for Turtle Talk with Crush at the Disney Animation Building in Disney California Adventure Park.
