Fantasyland Theatre will be home to the interactive Pixar Pals Playtime Party during Pixar Fest. Construction walls surround the theater but new Pixar decorations are visible around the stage’s proscenium. Runners covered in multi-colored rectangles hang above and to the sides.

The Fantasyland Theatre most recently featured “Tale of the Lion King,” which closed permanently in January. The “Lion King” paneling remains on the wooden proscenium.
