NEW Pixar Fest Popcorn Buckets

First up is one of the brand new Pixar Fest popcorn buckets featuring one of the Toy Story green aliens in the Pizza Planet truck.

But easily one of the coolest popcorn buckets is the Coco guitar shaped one featured above!

We love collecting Disneyland popcorn buckets and Pixar Fest offers so many for this celebration including a Dug popcorn bucket exclusive to Magic Key holders.

Pixar Fest Merchandise Preview

The Pixar Fest merchandise includes a new spirit jersey for the event, t-shirts, plus the much anticipated Lug bag. Out of everything we saw today, I think the Lug bag will sell out first!

You can see a closeup of the Lug bag in the right side of the photo above along with the characters displayed on the spirit jerseys.

All of the apparel has the Pixar Fest logo.

There is a variety of water bottles, mugs, and a reversible bucket hat!

We also got a closeup look at the limited-time collectible medallions themed to favorite Pixar films. There will be machines offering the medallions located throughout Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney District, and the Disneyland Resort hotels.

Pixar Fest Debuts New Character Headbands

We also got a first look at the collectible character headbands that are coming to Disneyland for the first time. These new character headbands will debut the first day of Pixar Fest which is Friday, April 26th.

These build your own character headbands are incredibly popular at the Asia Disneyland Resort theme parks so I anticipate we’ll see some excitement over these new additions.
