Disneyland Resort Shares New Details on Pixar Place Hotel’s Transformation

Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California is undergoing a transformation to Pixar Place Hotel – which, when completed, will be the first fully Pixar-themed hotel in the United States.

This 15-story high-rise hotel overlooking Disney California Adventure Park continues to welcome overnight guests during this transition.

Disneyland Resort announced that the re-imagination will be completed sometime this winter, and shared new details on amenities and Pixar touches that its guests will see as the transformation continues.

Over the next few months, the lobby will begin to blend beloved Pixar imagery with the hotel’s contemporary setting. This winter, guests entering the lobby will be greeted by the Pixar Lamp balancing atop its ball. A whimsical, colorful character-inspired mobile will hang above, welcoming guests to the new, reimagined lobby atrium. Iconic images from Pixar films will be seen at the front desk area with characters pictured larger than life in curated artwork.

Later this summer, overnight guests will enjoy an all-new water play area inspired by “Finding Nemo,” featuring a 186-foot-long waterslide and pop-jet splash pad. Later this year, a family play court will be added to the deck, with more activities inspired by Pixar’s famous short films.

Interactive games and imaginative free play celebrate favorite friends from “La Luna,” “Bao,” “For the Birds,” and “Burrow.” And when it’s time to relax, guests can enjoy food and drinks under the love-struck umbrellas from “The Blue Umbrella.

This fall, the Southern California-based modern American eatery, Great Maple, will open its ground-floor restaurant in Pixar Place Hotel to hotel guests, theme park goers and local diners, specializing in playful takes on upscale comfort food.

During the refurbishment, guests with valid park tickets and reservations can still enjoy the benefits of staying on property at the Disneyland Resort such as early park entry to enjoy select attractions and a special entrance to Disney California Adventure park, along with close proximity to Disneyland park and the Downtown Disney District.
