Our tips:
- Swim on the roof
- Take the walkway
- Spot Pixar characters
Pixar Place Hotel
Pixar Place Hotel opened on 30 January 2024 as the first hotel in the United States themed entirely to Pixar Animation Studios. The 15-storey tower overlooks Disney California Adventure Park. In the lobby stands a large Pixar lamp on its ball, and art from the films hangs everywhere.
Location and transport
The hotel overlooks Disney California Adventure Park. Guests have their own walkway to Disney California Adventure Park. To reach Disneyland Park and the Downtown Disney District, you walk through the resort.
If you come by car, you self-park at the hotel; valet parking is not currently available.
Rooms and suites
The hotel has more than 470 rooms. They are modern and colourful, with art from Pixar films and a Pixar lamp in every room. There are two special suites: the Pixel Suite and the Sketch Suite.
Club Level guests head to the Creators Club on the second floor, with snacks and drinks all day plus posters and designs from Pixar attractions.
Lightning Lane Entry Benefit
On one day of their stay, hotel guests can enter one attraction from a set list once via Lightning Lane, without buying a pass.
Priority at restaurants
Hotel guests get priority access to a limited number of reservations at the Disney hotel restaurants, up to 60 days in advance.
Straight to your room
Check in online and open your room door with the Disneyland app as a digital key. That way you don't need to stop at reception.
Food and drink
Great Maple on the ground floor serves breakfast, lunch and dinner: comfort food with a playful twist. At The Sketch Pad Café you can grab coffee and pastries. On the roof terrace, Small Bytes is open in season for salads, wraps and drinks. In the STOR-E shop, a nod to WALL-E, you can buy Pixar souvenirs and everyday essentials.
Pools and practical information
The pool is on the roof. You can slide down Crush's Surfin' Slide, swim in the Pixel Pool, and children can play in Nemo's Cove, a water play area with Dory and Marlin. On the Pixar Shorts Court you can play games from Pixar short films, and in the evening you can sit by fire pits shaped like Anger from Inside Out and Ember from Elemental.
