UPDATED October 22, 2024
Pixar Pier opened on July 23, 2018 at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland Resort!
Pixar Pier — the result of an entire transformation of Paradise Pier — is made up of four neighborhoods representing Pixar stories: Incredibles Park, Inside Out Headquarters and Toy Story Boardwalk. Several different Pixar stories and characters are represented in the fourth neighborhood, the Pixar Promenade.
There is so much fun in store with all our favorite Pixar pals!

Pixar Pier Dining
Table Service Dining and Lounge
Lamplight Lounge serves up California gastro-pub cuisine along with waterfront views!
Signature cocktails are unique to the spot which celebrates not only the films of Pixar, but also the artists who bring the stories to life.
Look for artistic marks left by Pixar “regulars” throughout the space such as concept art, sketched-upon coasters, collectible toys of Pixar characters, and more. The space reflects the “creativity, inspirations and personalities of the artists and storytellers who have brought Pixar stories to life.”
Brunch is served until 1PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. And note that during lunch and dinner, guests seated downstairs have additional menu options featuring full entrees.
Guests can dine upstairs and enjoy a slightly different menu featuring select items from the full menu and a few additional options. This experience — called Boardwalk Dining — is available for walk-up guests, and interested guests can check walk-up availability and even join a waitlist using the Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist on the Disneyland app.
Outdoor seating upstairs also offers awesome views of Pixar Pier at night, as well as the World of Color spectacular.
Snack Kiosks
Poultry Palace is one of a string of snack kiosks lining the Pier! If you’ve got a hankerin’ for a Turkey Leg when you’re on the Toy Story Boardwalk, then Poultry Palace is your stop!
Inspired by Pixar’s short, “Toy Story Toon: Small Fry,” the Poultry Palace “building” is a giant fun meal.
Buzz Lightyear has switched into Spanish mode and is serving up Churros at Señor Buzz Churros, also on Toy Story Boardwalk!
Look for classic Cinnamon and a Caliente Churro among the options.
Angry Dogs
Anger from Inside Out can be spotted at this kiosk on the Pixar Promenade which serves up hot dogs. It’s Angry Dogs!
But watch out — he turns up the heat on those dogs the angrier he gets!
Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats
The old Paradise Pier Ice Cream Co. is now known as Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats and still offers icy, sweet treats…but this time there is a signature soft-serve item on the menu, which is basically Lemon Dole Whip!
Additional fun and frosty treats are also served
Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums
Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums serves HUGE warm chocolate chip cookies.
I mean, REALLY… just LOOK!
Better yet… just TASTE!
Candy Kitchen
What’s a pier without CANDY?!
Find it on Pixar Pier at Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff, which serves candy, bakery confections, and other standard Disney candy shop items along with some exclusive themed offerings, like Memory Refresher frozen drinks.
“Who’s your friend who likes to play?”
Why, it’s BING BONG!
