Hi Patrice!
Half Marathon weekend is an exciting time to be at the Disneyland Resort! There seems to be an extra buzz of pixie dust in the air as the runners get to make their journey through the magic!
I want to jump right into your question as I can see you are trying to get your ducks in a row ahead of your trip. I can imagine if you are running, you will want to have all your creature comforts available to you the morning of your race. I have great news for you - you can have groceries delivered to
Pixar Place on the day of your arrival. If they arrive before you, they will likely be ready and waiting for you at Bell Services. When placing your order, you'll want to use the exact address of the hotel (1717 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, California, 92802) and add your check-in date. I also highly recommend placing the order under the same name as your hotel reservation which will make it easier to identify. When you arrive, check in with the Cast Members at Bell Services and they will be able to assist you.
Now that we've got you settled into Pixar Place, you won't want to miss out on any of the perks of being a Guest of a Disneyland Resort Hotel. At Pixar Place, you have your very own
entrance to California Adventure just across the street! It feels like a hidden secret just for you as you will pop out by Paradise Gardens and get a jump on heading to
Cars Land or the
Incredicoaster! On a non-race day, you'll want to take advantage of
Early Entry where resort Guests can head into the parks 30 minutes ahead of opening. This is the best time to head to some favorite attractions before the day really gets started. There is only one park per day that offers Early Entry, so be sure to check the
Park Hours to know if you're headed to Disneyland or California Adventure. When you check in, you'll want to ask for the list of
resort activities. These can be hidden gems in your day and sometimes feel a little off the beaten path. While some are listed on the website, typically you'll find more detailed schedules once you arrive on property. The resorts are celebrating Lunar New Year and have some fun offerings!
Patrice, I hope we set you up for a successful race weekend! If you're looking for a low key activity the night before your race, the third-floor pool deck at Pixar Place offers a spectacular view of the fireworks on select nights...complete with a live broadcast of the soundtrack! The magic truly is all around you!
If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at

Good luck this weekend!
