During Pixar Fest, through Aug. 4, 2024, guests can meet many characters from Pixar stories, including friends like Meilin Lee and Ming Lee from Disney and Pixar’s “Turning Red,” at Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, Calif. (Christian Thompson/Disneyland Resort)

There are six Pixar Fest marketplaces to visit between now and August 4th when the festival concludes. They offer foods that are inspired by Pixar films. There is not a Sip & Savor pass this time around. However, guests can purchase foods from multiple marketplaces at one time. Then they can simply take their receipt to each marketplace to redeem their purchase. Below is a look at what is being offered.
