Disney releases photos of model being used to create Pixar Pier

Disney has released photos of the working model being used for the transformation of Paradise Bay into Pixar Pier at California Adventure.

The new area, coming in the summer of 2018, features a number of new “neighborhoods,” including one inspired by “The Incredibles” and has the Incredicoaster.

In another neighborhood, each of the 24 gondolas on what is now Mickey’s Fun Wheel will feature different pairs of Pixar pals, and at the Games of the Boardwalk, all of the midway games will be inspired by characters from films such as “a bug’s life,” “WALL·E” and the Pixar short “La Luna.”

While the new area won’t open until the summer, the first-ever Pixar Fest celebration will begin April 13 and include the new “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” fireworks spectacular as well as the return of Pixar Play Parade and “Paint the Night” parade.
