Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar opened October 20, 2008 replacing the Seasons of the Vine Theater at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It closed on September 29, 2013, and reopened on April 13, 2018, to provide a preview of Pixar Pier. On March 14, 2020, Disney California Adventure announced that the attraction would permanently close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The exhibit was a preview center intended to promote upcoming attractions coming to the park, such as the dark ride, Goofy's Sky School roller coaster, Buena Vista Street and the Cars Land themed areas. The exhibit often showed a preview film that features Imagineers talking about the upcoming attractions, which was updated routinely as construction progressed.^[1]
