Overview
- The festival begins March 4, with recent park materials listing a June 1 end date even as some guides still cite May 31.
- New signage displays a park map numbering 24 Outdoor Kitchens, and installed menus highlight fresh options like Nectar, Beach Grub, and Yacht Grub alongside the returning Citrus Blossom.
- Toy Story now anchors the entrance with Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Lotso, and the Pixar Ball, while Lightning McQueen and Mater have returned near Connections Café.
- A Hoppers Wildlife Crossing Garden inspired by Pixar has been installed between CommuniCore Hall and The Land, with informational elements to be added.
- Visitor guidance flags peak crowd periods to avoid—opening day, the first weekend, the Easter and spring break window, Memorial Day weekend, and the final weekend—and recommends allergy meds and Mobile Checkout over early merch lines.
