Countdown to Pixar Pier. The newest land at Disney California Adventure will open later THIS month (June 23rd). Current construction photos show that it’s going to be a nail-biter for Disney to get it all done on time, we’ll show you below. Plus news, photos, and fun from both parks!


Welcome to Pixar Pier, Disneyland Resort Update: Race to Pixar Pier and Beyond

The first Pixar Pier Commercial has arrived, what do you think? Since so much of the pier is under-construction still, there wasn’t much they could show. And what’s up with the Monsters Inc. door imagery? That ride is in a whole different part of the park.

Now on to construction updates. You can see that Disney is allowing construction to proceed during regular park hours and we can see lots of workers all over Pixar Pier.

Hollywood Land

What to do with this land? Not much has changed since Mad T Party vacated the area two years ago, Summer of Heroes was not a huge success last year and this year they have not really promoted it. If you walk through Hollywood land currently they are playing the same soundtrack from last years Summer of Heroes event.
