Pixelmania West 2026

Bad news, everyone: Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration ends on August 9, 2026. As a result, we will not be able to see the Paint the Night parade, the best parade ever.

Since Oogie Boogie Bash starts on August 13, I assume the parade performers are moving from one parade to the other, so some bean counter decided to just end the whole anniversary celebration.
 
@ExploringWDW tells me that Disneyland AP holders will be able to buy OBB tickets starting on June 16 or 17, depending on what type of AP they have. There is a good chance that tickets may be available to the rest of us starting on June 18. Mark your calendar!
 
Tips on visiting Walt's barn and other Burbank attractions from a user on the Be Our Guest Podcast Discord server:

If you'll be in that area on the third Sunday of the month, Walt's barn in Griffith Park is open between 11 and 3. The barn used to be at the Disney home on Carolwood, and was moved and reconstructed here a number of years ago. It's run by volunteers, and can be popular, so arrive a bit early. The barn is quick to tour, but has some items of interest (I particularly like the model of Minetrain Through Nature's Wonderland, which used to be an attraction at Disneyland). It's kind of connected to the Live Steamers Museum (they use the same land, but you have to walk a couple hundred yards down the road to the other entrance), and they have a little train that people sit on and track around the park area. More info here: https://www.carolwood.org/

If you can park about 45 minutes early and line up, you'll save that amount of time as you'll not be waiting to go through the barn. It's a small building and grounds, and I'd say 45-60 minutes at the barn would give you more than enough time to see everything. You can then walk down to the steamers and ride the little train (it's one like Walt ran upon which you sit). There will be a line, but they run a good amount of trains, and it moves quickly. It's a surprisingly long track (you'll see it from the barn) and quite fun.

If you're really into history, the original Disney Brothers studio is not too far away (it's a print shop), and the location of the Disey Hyperion Studios is the Gelsons (supermarket) on Hyperion. Some of the homes that Walt and Roy owned are in the area, too, though they're all privately owned, and you can only see the outside.

Finally, Imagineering and some of other Disney buildings are in Burbank off of Flower Street. It's a pretty industrial area, but worth driving by. The old Burbank Airport building was restored by the WDC, and viewable from the street, too.
