On days when two Pixar Play Parade performances are scheduled, the first parade will star near 'it's a small world,' move towards the Matterhorn, go along the east side of Sleeping Beauty Castle and Disneyland''s central hub, travel south down Main Street, and then go around Main Street's town square. The second performance starts in Main Street's town square, and travels opposite the path mentioned previously. On days where only one Pixar Play Parade is on the schedule, the parade will begin in Main Street's town square, and end near 'it's a small world.'

Any spot along the parade route will offer the same experience so you shouldn't worry if you can't see the parade on Main Street. Once the parade has started, count on gridlock all along the route, especially on Main Street. Due to aggressive crowd control restrictions on the sidewalks, you’re best off entering or exiting the park via the backstage breezeways (if open) or Emporium shops.
