When the gates to Pixar Place opened this morning, Edna Mode was waiting to welcome guests in.

Pixar Place has some mature trees that line the walkway, and is now full of Pixar theming and easter eggs.

These bright Pixar-themed painted walls serve as backdrops for photos during meet-and-greet interactions with characters.

PX-86 is a clever reference to the year Pixar was founded, 1986. A113 is an easter egg found in many Pixar films that references a classroom at the California Institute of the Arts, specifically a classroom used by graphic design and character animation students. Many alumni of CalArts went on to work at Disney and Pixar. People like John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Tim Burton, current Pixar chief Pete Docter, Henry Selick, and more.

Our posted wait time was 5 minutes.

The queue is an homage to Edna’s greatest achievements in superhero fashion design.

Our Mickey-shaped cheeseburger ears looked too delicious to pass up, so Sully grabbed a bite.

Pixar Place History and Closure

Before Toy Story Land was added to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Pixar Place was an area of the park where guests could enter the queue for Toy Story Midway Mania and also find meet-and-greet photo ops with Buzz and Woody. Then when construction on Toy Story Land was finally complete, both the entrance to Toy Story Midway Mania and photo ops with Toy Story characters were moved over into that land.

After the Toy Story characters left, the Pixar Place location was turned into a Municiberg city block from the Pixar film “The Incredibles”. Here you could find a meet-and-greet with Edna Mode, purchase Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookies, and even occasionally get a glimpse of popular characters from the film like Mr. and Mrs. Incredible or Frozone.

After the park closed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the area became devoid of characters and attractions. Even after nearly three years had passed since the rest of the park reopened, Pixar Place remained a dead-end area.

What character are you most excited to grab a photo with on your next visit to Pixar Place? Let us know in the comments.
