The Pixar Pals Motorcade stopped running and disappeared from the My Disney Experience entertainment listings, ending motorcades at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The date is year-only by design. ResortsGal states only that "The motorcades at Disney's Hollywood Studios concluded in early 2023" and gives no date for the Pixar motorcade specifically. The WDWinfo article returns HTTP 403, so its publication date could not be confirmed; its lede, visible on wdwinfo.com's own search results page, reads "While looking through My Disney Experience to plan a day at Hollywood Studios, I noticed something was missing under the entertainment tab, the Pixar Motorcade." Permanence is confirmed by the absence of any motorcade or cavalcade among the live child entities for the park on ThemeParks.wiki.

The Pixar Pals Motorcade debuted with the reopening of Disney's Hollywood Studios, bringing Pixar characters down Hollywood Boulevard as one of the park's new contactless character cavalcades.

LaughingPlace previewed the cavalcades on July 8, 2020 ahead of the reopening, describing Pixar stars who "arrive on Hollywood Boulevard" and noting guests "won't be able to enjoy the up close character meet and greets or line the streets for daily parades." Wikipedia corroborates that the park was closed from March 16 to July 15, 2020.
