At long last, Pixar Fest is finally here at the Disneyland Resort! Pixar Pier isn't set to open at California Adventure until late June, but the good news is that you don't need Pixar Pier to experience all the fun happening now during Pixar Fest. If you're planning a trip anytime from now through the summer then make sure you know what's happening so you can take it all in.

It's time once again for the D4E Choice Award winners to be announced! These were all chosen by you as the best shops, restaurants, experiences and more in the Disneyland Resort. Forget what the "experts" say - these are how everyone else feels! This year was exceptional because we ended up with a couple of ties. Be sure to scroll through our winners and then through our own 4-Star Reviews when planning your next trip.

Disneyland traditionally raises ticket prices every year, usually around January or February, and this year is no exception. Even with all the construction going on in both parks and Star Wars - Galaxy's Edge still over a year away from completion, Disneyland's attendance has stayed steady and so it appears this is the latest move to try and deter massive crowds from the gates.

It's become common over the past several months for Disney to announce new additions coming to Downtown Disney district. Ultimately the area is being renovated to update the look and feel of the promenade and prepare for the addition of the new eastern gateway project. Including some new announcements today, here is what has and will be changing in Downtown Disney in 2018 alone.

Downtown Disney is changing fast through 2018 and now the largest retail store in the Disneyland Resort, World of Disney, will become part of that change. Little has changed in the store since it first opened in 2000 but this reimagining will impact guests throughout most of the year. Be aware of what's happening so you won't be surprised when you visit.

As part of the Pixar Fest in the spring, the Pixar Play Parade will be moving next door to Disneyland Park to take over as the daytime parade replacing Mickey's SoundSational Parade. The move coincides with additional floats and parade elements added to the show which Disney has just made public. The new floats are a mixed bag and while some seem pretty awesome others . . . well, let's just get to them.

The holiday season is going strong and is only going to get bigger as December rolls out in Downtown Disney. Decorations are everywhere, festive souvenirs line every window, new entertainment is springing up and soon even more magic will be available at select restaurants and retail spots throughout the shopping district. They will only be available for a limited time so if your travels take you to California at the right time make sure you don't miss them!
