Lasting just over 20 minutes long, the Pixar Play Parade is a must see for all kids, and adults, too!  Characters from all of the Disney-Pixar movies, such as Toy Story, Cars, Monsters, Inc, A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, join the fun for the viewing pleasure of all parade goers.

A few words of caution though – if you do not want to get wet, either do not attend the parade or locate a seat far back!  Each colorful float has the ability to spray water.  When the weather is cooler, however, bubbles replace the inevitable drops of water that “front seaters” are bound to endure!   

In addition to the characters riding on the floats, a show is also presented by characters on the ground.  For example, there are dancing bugs and monsters, puppeteers, and stilt-walking chefs.  These fun characters make sure they spend some time mingling with the parade attendees.

The parade runs from the gates next to the entrance to Hollywood and around the Sunshine Plaza, then through the Golden State area before ending near the Orange Stinger in the Paradise Pier area.  It takes place once a day during the late afternoon.
