Hi there, Margaret! Welcome back to planDisney!
I see that you've sailed on over to my fellow panelists with your Disney Cruise Line planning needs. I'm happy to welcome you to the Disneyland Resort subset of
planDisney!
Any
Disneyland Resort Hotel will add a little extra magic to your vacation, especially near Christmas time. I think you'll be very happy at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. The Scenic Pool Deck was closed for improvements not too long ago, but I'm thrilled to share that they've wrapped up the scheduled construction and the pool is back for Guests to enjoy!
Unfortunately, the
Surfside Lounge and
The Sand Bar are still temporarily closed as part of the
phased reopening at the Disneyland Resort. We're not sure exactly when those restaurants will reopen, but I'll keep my ears crossed that it happens before you visit! Keep your eyes peeled to the Disneyland Resort Website for these changes, as well as
Disney Parks Blog, where they often announce restaurant openings first! When staying at Disney's Pixar Pier Hotel, there are plenty of dining options nearby, both at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and in the
Downtown Disney District.Have a magical day,
Ashley
