by | Apr 25, 2024 | Disney California Adventure Park, Disney Movies, Disneyland, Disneyland Parks

As part of the returned Pixar Fest, a talking Dug from Up will be available to meet guests throughout their time at the festival in Disneyland Resort.

It’s almost time for Pixar Fest at Disneyland Resort! The returning festivities will be taking place throughout Disneyland Resort from April 26 to August 4, 2024, with exciting entertainment, themed food, and special character meet-and-greets. As part of the returning festival, guests will be able to spot characters never featured before in the Disney Parks, including Ember and Wade from Elemental and Luca and Alberto from Luca. And there’s another exciting character that will be greeting guests at Pixar Fest

Talking Dug at Pixar Fest

Fans of the Pixar film Up will be thrilled to learn that you can actually meet and speak with Dug from the film for a limited time. You can have a chat with Dug as he roams around Redwood Creek at Disney California Adventure during the festival. In our interaction with Dug, he spoke about meeting new friends, sharing his excitement for how happy he was to be around others. It truly feels like you’re meeting the character from the beloved film!

Along with Talking Dug, we had the chance to meet an assortment of other Pixar characters, which included Ember and Wade, Luca and Alberto, and plenty of other exciting faces during the Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration parade.

You can learn everything available as part of the returning event by checking our complete Pixar Fest guide. And make sure to follow along with the DLR Magazine Instagram for all the latest videos and photos from our time at this exciting festival!

Thank you to Disney for hosting us during the Pixar Fest Media Preview. #PixarFest2024 #CelebratingFriendshipandBeyond
