With its acrobats, stilt-walkers, larger-than-life characters, and eye-popping colors, the new Pixar Play Parade at Disney's California Adventure (which, curiously, follows on the heels of another all-Pixar parade at the park, Block Party Bash) is quite a sight--that is, if onlookers can shield their eyes from the onslaught of water fired at them. Taking theme park spritzing to a new level, virtually every character and float in the parade is armed with locked-and-loaded water cannons. With twelve floats and dozens of characters, that's a lot of spritzing. Maybe they should call it Pixar Spray Parade. Read more about the parade as well as the revamped Playhouse Disney Live on Stage, which also recently debuted at Disney's California Adventure, in my updated Disneyland Resort 2008 Ride Guide.
