  • Get Ready for the Ultimate Pixar Summer Fest at Hong Kong Disneyland!

    Get ready for some serious fun! From June 12 to August 31, 2026, Hong Kong Disneyland (HKDL) is kicking off its very first “Pixar Summer Fest.” This isn’t just another event; it’s a complete park transformation, inviting everyone, big or small, to jump into the heart of Pixar stories and play like a kid again this summer.

    Throughout the resort, Pixar magic will be everywhere. From the classic attractions to vibrant stage shows, lively parades, unexpected character meet-and-greets, and an incredible nighttime spectacular, HKDL is pulling out all the stops. Imagine diving deep into the worlds of Toy Story, The Incredibles, Inside Out, Coco, and Up, meeting your favorite characters, and enjoying immersive fun from sunrise to well after sunset.

    But wait, there’s more! You can also treat yourself to some delicious Pixar-themed snacks and meals, grab some exclusive merchandise, and soak in a dynamic lineup of entertainment. This includes two fantastic daytime parades and the showstopper: the brand-new “Pixar Pals Spectacular,” a dazzling nighttime show that will light up the sky with heartwarming tales of friendship.

    And here’s a tip, especially for our Hong Kong residents! You can grab the “Adults at Child Price” Summer Limited Offer to make those shared memories even sweeter. From June 11 to September 20, 2026, if you visit HKDL with two or more people, you can snag 1 Day General Admission tickets at the child price (starting from HK$499). Plus, you’ll get some handy shopping and dining discount vouchers!

    The Unmissable Pixar Pals Spectacular

    The real star of the “Pixar Summer Fest” is undoubtedly the “Pixar Pals Spectacular.” This eight-minute wonder acts as the perfect prelude to HKDL’s beloved “Momentous” nighttime spectacular. Imagine the sky bursting into a vibrant celebration of Pixar tales – it’s a show designed to make you look up and truly marvel as the night sky comes alive.

    Get ready to be amazed! You’ll see glowing drones create magic in the night sky, shimmering fountains dancing in sync, and projections washing over the Castle of Magical Dreams, extending all the way down Main Street, U.S.A. Keep an eye out for giant inflatables rising high, pulsating with light in perfect rhythm with each story beat. It’s pure spectacle!

    Characters from Toy Story, The Incredibles, Cars, Inside Out, Finding Nemo, Up, WALL·E, and Monsters, Inc. – plus some brand-new friends from Toy Story 5 – will all soar into this luminous adventure. It’s a breathtaking journey filled with wonder, heart, and that unmistakable Pixar charm. This show really hammers home that friendship truly is the greatest adventure.

    From Sketch to Reality: Meet Your Favorite Toy Story Pals

    Here’s something truly special: the new Draw & Meet experience at the Animation Academy. This isn’t just a character encounter; it’s a blend of creativity and pure magic. First, you get to sketch characters like Bullseye, Lotso, or Rex. Then, just next door, you can meet them in person! The best part? They’ll even strike the exact same pose from your drawing, almost as if they literally just stepped off your page. How cool is that?

    Want to cherish that moment forever? You can grab a Disney Friends Draw & Meet Photo Folder. It’s designed to perfectly hold both your drawing and the photo with your pal, telling two sides of one amazing story.

    Splash, Dance & Cheer with Pixar Pals in Two Daytime Parades

    Get ready to get wet! The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” is back and bringing all the splashes and joyful energy you could ask for. Jump into this wet-and-wild celebration with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and Bo Peep from Toy Story, plus Barley and Iandore Lightfoot from Onward, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Edna Mode, and Frozone from The Incredibles. It’s pure, unadulterated summer fun!

    And the fun doesn’t stop there! Prepare for HKDL’s biggest parade yet: the “Friendtastic!” parade. You’ll see incredible Pixar-themed floats, like Woody and Buzz Lightyear zipping by on RC Car, Mike and Sulley on their laugh-powered contraption, Red Panda Mei from Turning Red dancing on her very own stage, Joy and Sadness floating along with their core memories, and Carl, Russell, and Dug soaring high in their airship. This parade sounds like an absolute must-see!

    Playful Encounters and Surprises Everywhere You Look

    The Pixar magic is truly everywhere, with spontaneous character encounters and delightful surprises popping up all over the park. Imagine celebrating with Mei in a brand-new ‘Turning Red’ Character Moment – a full-on 4*Town-inspired singing and dancing party right between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland! You can also join Miguel for a brand-new music encounter straight out of Coco, or cheer on Merida during an energetic archery moment in Adventureland. It’s like stepping directly into the films!

    And of course, your favorite Pixar pals are ready for hugs, photos, and all sorts of unexpected fun around every corner. Make sure to stop by Tomorrowland Station to catch Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Edna Mode, and Frozone. Joy, Sadness, and Anger from Inside Out will be there too, alongside Carl, Russell, and Dug from Up (who might also pop up in Adventureland!). And don’t forget Toy Story Land’s Barrel of Fun, where Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie are waiting, sporting some cool new accessories straight from Toy Story 5.
