Here’s everything you need to know about Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! during the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration at Disney California Adventure.

About the Show

Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! is a tribute to all things from the studio that the lamp built. An energetic soundtrack pairs with colorful floats featuring more than two dozen Pixar characters including those from INSIDE OUT 2. THE INCREDIBLES, COCO, MONSTERS INC., TOY STORY, UP, TURNING RED, SOUL, and LUCA.

The parade debuted in 2024 as part of Pixar Fest summer campaign at the Disneyland Resort.

How to Watch

Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! parade takes place twice daily along the Disney California Adventure performance corridor and typically lasts about 20 minutes from start to finish.

Disney California Adventure has one of the longest parade routes in any Disney Park which makes it easier than most to find a spot. If you’re picky about your viewing spot, you’ll want to start picking a place to view the parade about an hour before showtime. Otherwise, decent viewing should be available from most places on the parade route pretty close to the posted start time of the parade.

Keep in mind, the parade’s first performance of the day will typically depart from the Hollywood Land parade gate and travel down to the Pixar Pier parade gate. The second performance will follow the same path in reverse. It’s also important to keep in mind that the “start” time for the parade is from the point the parade steps off from the parade gate. Depending on how far you are from where the parade starts, that could add upwards of 20-minutes or more before you see the parade come your way.

Typical showtimes are 2:30pm and 5:00pm. Showtimes are subject to change so always check the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest information.
