History of Angry Dogs
Angry Dogs opened in June 2018 along with the rest of the newly re-themed Pixar Pier area. It replaced the former Hot Dog Hut quick service stand that was in Paradise Pier. The new stand ties into the Pixar theme of Pixar Pier with its bright colors and theming inspired by the character Anger from the Disney/Pixar film Inside Out. The spicy Angry Dog options also fit the hot tempered personality of this character. Since opening, Angry Dogs has become a go-to for fans looking for a quick service hot dog meal with a kick of spice and fun theming. Its location along the Pixar Pier walkway makes it easy to grab a hot dog while taking in the sights of this land.
