Just like the hit song from Pixar's Toy Story says, "You've got a friend in me," we can't help but feel a close connection to some of Pixar's most iconic characters.
In celebration of that "friendship" with Pixar, the Disneyland Resort is currently hosting Pixar Fest, a festival dedicated to everything we know and love about these movies. (Taking place now through August 4th!)
Want to know why this year is a great year to experience this fun? Here's the Top 10 things you can enjoy while visiting The Happiest Place on Earth this summer!
