Everything You Need to Know for a Magical Family Day at Pixar Pier

Pixar Pier is formally open at Disney California Adventure Park! My little ones and I had a lot enjoyable this previous opening week exploring the newly reimagined space—impressed by the tales and movies we love a lot.

One of my favourite issues about Pixar Pier is how a lot there’s for households with younger youngsters. My kiddos are between the ages of three months and 6 years outdated, and we discovered loads of issues we might all get pleasure from collectively—which isn’t at all times a simple feat! Read on to seek out all of my picks for a magical day on the Pier.

Attractions

There are three (quickly to be 5) sights at Pixar Pier—The Incredicoaster, Toy Story Midway Mania, and the Pixar Pal-A-Round.

The Incredicoaster is an thrilling Incredibles 2-themed rollercoaster. And it’s such a blast! If you or your kiddos are thrill-seekers, that is positively a must-do. We beloved how the attraction has a storyline—one thing you don’t discover on many rollercoasters! I’d extremely suggest a nighttime trip in case you get the prospect—the cool lights make it additional magical. Little ones have to be 48 inches or over to trip, and make sure to get a FastPass/MaxPass as that is one common trip.

For a trip match for everybody in your loved ones, take a look at Toy Story Midway Mania! This is a 3D, carnival-style attraction with no peak requirement—so even infants can trip, which makes this a household favourite. It’s actually enjoyable to check your purpose and get slightly aggressive for one of the best rating! FastPass/MaxPass can be accessible.

The third attraction that’s presently open is the Pixar Pal-A-Round. This huge ferris wheel overlooks the Park, and can be one other nice choice for all relations—infants included. A enjoyable addition are the gondolas that includes totally different Pixar characters. We desire the stationary ones, however in case you’re in for slightly little bit of a thrill, you would possibly wish to strive the swinging gondolas. But our favourite half is certainly the gorgeous view from the highest—it will possibly’t be beat! Plus, it’s additionally a extremely nice solution to relaxation your toes for the reason that journey across the wheel takes about 15 minutes.

We can’t wait to come back again to trip these once more, and the brand new sights coming 2019—together with Jessie’s Critter Carousel and the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind.

Eats

Food is a vital and thrilling a part of any day on the Park—and Pixar Pier isn’t any exception! A deal with is at all times a should for us, so I like to recommend grabbing a singular Caliente Churro (slightly too spicy for the children, however nice for Mom!) or Cinnamon Super Galaxy Churro on the cart Señor Buzz Churros.

If your baby is a chocolate chip cookie fanatic identical to child Jack-Jack from Incredibles 2, then head to Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums for a heat chocolate chip cookie (aka a Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num), a gluten-free, blackberry jam-filled cookie referred to as The IncrediCookie, or a Jack-Jack Shortbread Cookie. Obviously, we needed to strive all three and they didn’t disappoint. The better part is, you may select from quite a lot of milk choices (together with dairy-free) to pair together with your cookie deal with…yum!

If you’re in want of a frozen deal with on a heat summer time day, Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats is the place to go. Our favourite is the It’s Snow Capped Lemon—that includes lemon mushy serve “snow-capped” with white chocolate. This place is kiddo accredited!

When time for dinner comes round, Pixar Pier has bought you lined! Stop by Angry Dogs for warm canines and chips, Poultry Palace for scrumptious rooster drumsticks (these had been our favourite!), or Lamplight Lounge the place you’ll discover an array of distinctive eats, together with a youngsters menu with issues just like the PB and J Roll—a peanut butter and jelly sandwich rolled up and sliced to appear like a sushi roll!

Opening later this summer time is Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff the place company will discover treats and merchandise. I do know my youngsters are particularly going to like it.

Games

If you’re like us and luxuriate in taking breaks from sights in the course of the day, I recommend trying out the Games of Pixar Pier. Purchase a recreation card for no less than $four, then select from 4 video games, together with La Luna Star Catcher, WALL-E Space Race, Heimlich’s Candy Corn Toss, and Bullseye Stallion Stampede. La Luna Star Catcher is nice as a result of everyone seems to be at all times a winner—it doesn’t matter what, company will at all times stroll away with a prize! They differ relying on what recreation you select, however for as little as $four, it’s actually an ideal deal.

After some video games, have the little ones play by the Luxo ball water fountain proper in entrance—mine had enjoyable cooling off on the new summer time day!

Characters

Don’t neglect to obtain the official Disneyland Resort app to seek out the areas of assorted Pixar Pals, accessible for picture opps and autographs round Pixar Pier!

Visiting with their favourite Pixar characters is at all times a spotlight for my youngsters.

Entertainment

A Disney day wouldn’t be full with out some leisure! We actually loved listening to The Pixarmonic Orchestra—a brilliant enjoyable, seven-piece band that performs within the Pixar Promenade just a few occasions each day. Check the Disneyland app for showtimes.

For one other enjoyable exercise, the brand new Pixar character face paint choices are completely lovable. Kiosks could be discovered close to Knick’s Knacks, they usually provide free touchups all through the day.

And final, however actually not least, make sure to seize some cute picture opps by colourful Pixar partitions—as a souvenir till subsequent time.
