Rex has arrived at Disney California Adventure. The lovable dinosaur conquered his fears and insecurities to step out for the first time to meet with guests at Pixar Pier. This marks the first time this Tyrannosaurus Rex toy character has met with guests at the Disneyland Resort. He will be meeting guests for a limited time at the Pixar Promenade, across from Pixar Pal-A-Round. His arrival comes 30 years after the release of Toy Story by Pixar Animation Studios.
Daps Magic team member Steven was in line and had the opportunity to meet Rex during his first meet and greet today. Check out his video and photos here:






While this marks Rex’s first time meeting guests at a Disney park in the United States, it isn’t the first time he has globally. Previously, Rex has met with guests at Shanghai Disneyland and also Hong Kong Disneyland.
Rex is one of several Pixar offerings found at the Disneyland Resort during the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration. At Disney California Adventure, Better Together – A Pixar Pals Celebration has returned after debuting at Pixar Fest last year. At Disneyland, Pixar Pals Playtime Party has returned to Fantasyland Theatre. This also debuted during Pixar Fest during the summer of 2024. These are just some of the entertainment offerings that can be found during the 70th anniversary celebration of Disneyland. Full coverage can be found at DapsMagic.com/Disneyland70.
