Pixar Fest at Disneyland is offering a variety of exciting entertainment experiences like a NEW parade, the return of the Pixar fireworks, new merchandise, plus a variety of new food items.
Pixar Fest also includes new food marketplace booths at California Adventure in the same tradition as those that are part of the Food & Wine Festival and Festival of the Holidays. This is an exciting move by Disneyland to make this festival a big celebration.
We enjoyed a variety of food items at Pixar Fest this weekend and we can't wait to share our personal reviews of our top favorites and all the photos of these fun themed Pixar marketplace booths!

Pixar Fest Food Review
We spent some time enjoying a few items from the Pixar Fest marketplace booths and here are our thoughts!
First up we tried the Joyful Yellow Comforting Mac & Cheese from Hanger Management. This was creamy and delicious and actually tasted good with the Cheetos! This makes for a good kid-friendly dish.
We also tried the Angry Red Hot Mac & Cheese which is the spicy version of the mac & cheese at the Hanger Management booth! This will be popular with folks that love a spicy edge to their food.
Next we tried the Sea Monster Lemonade from the Portorosso Pasta booth. This was extremely sugary, I could barely have more than two sip so I would not get this again!
Next up from the Luca food booth we had the Portorosso Pesto Past. This was slightly on the drier side but I did enjoy it! The freeze dried green beans have an interesting crunch, but overall, I thought it worked!
For dessert we tried the Kol Nut Whoopie Cookie Pie from The Elemental Table booth. This was delicious, it was light and not overly sugary. I would absolutely get this again!
We also tried the Gusteau Macaron from Gusteau’s To-Go. This was a fun themed macron, not super flavorful but I did enjoy it.
Overall, the Pixar Fest marketplace food booths are a hit! There are so many different food items to enjoy and plenty of options for everyone.
