Pixar Play Zone Now Open at Disney’s Contemporary Resort – With Pixar Characters!

Hi everyone!

The much-anticipated Pixar Play Zone is now open at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! We were out of town for the preview on opening day, but we have a press release and photos to share. The Pixar Play Zone is for kids aged 4-12 and includes interactive games, Pixar character interactions and dinner. For $65 plus tax per child, kids are entertained for 4 1/2 hours and parents can get away to enjoy some of the Disney resort on their own. I personally started visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in the 70s when I was just turning 12, and I would have loved something like this! The character interactions really lend so much value to the evening. This is a pilot program, but I hope it will be the first of many – it reminds me of the various Disney Cruise Line kids clubs, a more immersive experience than the other kids activity centers at Walt Disney World. Read below for more information, including how to book. I would recommend reserving this experience well ahead of time, I expect it to be very popular.

The stateside Disney parks are all about Pixar this year, from Pixar Fest at Disneyland Resort (where I am typing from), Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the Incredible Summer at Walt Disney World. Oh – and Pixar Pier opens at Disney California Adventure in June!

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (April 13, 2018) – Kids, ages 4–12, can now star in an adventure-packed evening filled with interactive fun, arcade games and dinner. It’s all part of the new Pixar Play Zone that opens April 13 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

While the kids play, parents can enjoy their own getaway throughout Walt Disney World Resort.

The new Walt Disney World entertainment experience is a pilot program that takes place nightly from 6-10:30 p.m. It transports young guests to a world full of excitement and adventure with their favorite characters from Disney•Pixar animated films “Toy Story” and “The Incredibles!”

Pixar Play Zone encompasses several elaborately themed spaces.

Big time fun awaits in The Living Room. There’s Space Ranger Training where kids learn what it takes to become a Jr. Space Ranger of Star Command, including how to master the call of the Space Ranger, “To infinity and beyond!”


Then, Woody and Jessie will show them the ropes of the Wild West during Woody’s Roundup – complete with a sing along for a rootin’ tootin’ good time.

Around the corner, toys of all kinds are waiting to play in Bonnie’s Play Room.

Radiator Springs Racetrack is where youngsters can build their own racecars and send them down a soapbox derby racetrack in the Piston Cup Derby Races.

The evening builds to an Incredibles Super Dance Party where kids learn super sweet moves with Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Incredible.


Doors open for registration at 5 p.m. nightly. Children must be toilet-trained. Activities and entertainment are subject to change.

The immersive Pixar Play Zone experience costs $65 plus tax per child. Availability is limited and reservations are strongly recommended, by calling 407-824- KIDS (5437).
