Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! Parade Dessert Party

The Experience

The Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! Parade Dessert Party combines a Pixar-themed dessert spread with reserved seating for one of Disney California Adventure’s most joyful daytime parades.

How It Works

Your reservation begins approximately 45 minutes before the parade. Guests gather at Sonoma Terrace, located along the parade route, and enjoy an assortment of Pixar-inspired sweets while waiting for the procession to begin. Once the parade starts, you watch from a dedicated preferred viewing area — no staking out a spot hours early required.

The Desserts

The menu features Pixar-themed treats including:

• Grape Soda macarons (inspired by Carl’s adventure badge in Up)
• Better Together-themed celebration cake
• A rotating selection of Pixar-inspired confections and beverages

Expect the dessert offerings to evolve as part of the Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary celebration programming.

The Parade

Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! is a high-energy daytime parade featuring nearly 30 Pixar characters across beloved films including Toy Story, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., Coco, Turning Red, and Soul. The parade features an original theme song and elaborate floats designed around the idea that Pixar’s stories — and the characters in them — are better together.

Pricing and Booking

Tickets are $94 per guest, including tax and gratuity. Children ages 2 and younger are free when seated in an adult’s lap. A separate theme park reservation and valid admission for Disney California Adventure on the same date is required for each guest ages 3 and older.

Advance reservations are required and can be made through the Disneyland Resort website or the Disneyland app.

Dining Plan Information

Dining plan credits are not accepted for this dessert party. The $94 per guest price is all-inclusive (tax and gratuity included).

About Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! Parade Dessert Party

The dessert party launched in May 2025 as part of the Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary celebration, pairing the return of the Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! parade with a premium reserved experience at Sonoma Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park.

Why It’s Worth It

The parade route at Disney California Adventure draws significant crowds, and finding a good spot without a reserved package often means arriving 30 to 60 minutes early. The dessert party gives you a dedicated section with clear sightlines, so you can relax, enjoy Pixar-inspired treats, and take it all in from start to finish.

Communal seating is used, which means your party may be seated alongside other guests. The overall atmosphere is festive and celebratory — a fitting way to experience one of the resort’s signature parades during its landmark anniversary year.

Availability is limited and reservations book quickly, particularly for weekend and peak-season dates.
