Pixar Pier, Themed area in Disney California Adventure Park, United States

Paradise Gardens Park is the themed land at Disney California Adventure that kept the name after part of Paradise Pier became Pixar Pier on June 23, 2018. It holds five attractions: Goofy's Sky School, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumpin' Jellyfish, Golden Zephyr and The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure. Bayside Brews, Corn Dog Castle and Seaside Souvenirs are its food and shop stops.

Paradise Pier opened with Disney California Adventure in 2001, modeled on seaside amusement parks like Santa Monica Pier. A $1.1 billion expansion re-themed it to 1920s Victorian boardwalk style: Silly Symphony Swings opened May 28, 2010, and World of Color premiered June 11, 2010. On June 23, 2018, part of the pier became Pixar Pier, while the remaining area was renamed Paradise Gardens Park.

Paradise Gardens Park keeps the Victorian-boardwalk theme given to the former Paradise Pier in 2010, when Silly Symphony Swings was based on Walt Disney's 1935 short The Band Concert. The land's name comes from the Paradise Park viewing area built on the northern waterfront for World of Color, which premiered June 11, 2010. Seasonal events held here include Lunar New Year with Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession, the Disney Festival of Holidays, and Oogie Boogie Bash.

Paradise Gardens Park occupies the western part of the former Paradise Pier, beside Pixar Pier. Its five rides sit close together: Goofy's Sky School, Silly Symphony Swings, Jumpin' Jellyfish, Golden Zephyr and The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure. Bayside Brews, Corn Dog Castle and Seaside Souvenirs are the food and shop stops inside the land.

The Maliboomer closed in 2010, and its site stayed as unused garden space until the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind opened there in 2019. Nearby, the Orange Stinger's giant orange-peel structure was removed entirely when the ride became Silly Symphony Swings, and its bee-shaped seats had already been taken out after they bumped and damaged each other.
