Welcome back to planDisney, Nicole! I’m so excited to hear you’ll be staying at the
Pixar Place Hotel. What a fun and immersive experience, especially for Pixar fans. You’re in for an incredible visit!
Yes, the Pixar Place Hotel does provide box fans upon request. Once you’ve checked into your room, simply press “0” on your in-room phone to reach the front desk. A Cast Member from Guest Services will be happy to bring one up for you to use during your stay. It’s as easy as saying, “Hey, Mike Wazowski!”
And since you’ll be stepping into this newly reimagined hotel, I’ve got a couple of Q-Tips to help you make the most of it! First, don’t miss the
Pool Deck area. It’s more than just a place to swim. It’s a full-on Pixar playground. In addition to the waterslide, whirlpool spa, and splash pad for little ones, you’ll find Pixar Shorts Court, a whimsical outdoor space where you can play games inspired by animated gems like La Luna, Bao, and For the Birds. Keep an eye out for surprise appearances, too. Bing Bong has been known to pop up in this area for magical meet-and-greets that will make you feel all the emotions (yes, even the core memories).
If you’re heading to Disney California Adventure, you can take advantage of the convenient entrance through Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. You’ll need your theme park ticket and reservation, and if you're entering during Early Entry, be sure to have your Pixar Place Hotel room key ready as well. Just a heads-up: entry availability can fluctuate during busy times, like park opening or special events, so a little flexibility goes a long way (just like Elastigirl!).
And speaking of super things, don’t forget to chec
k out the Great Maple Modern American Eatery. It’s the perfect spot for a celebratory bite after a day of park-hopping or lounging by the pool. Their maple bacon donuts? Pure Ratatouille-level genius.
Nicole, if you have any more questions as you prepare for your adventure, feel free to reach out to me or any of the panelists here at planDisney. We’re always happy to help you make your trip Incredible.
To Infinity and Beyond! May your stay at the Pixar Place Hotel be packed with laughter, wonder, and just the right splash of Pixar charm!
Wishing you a magical stay,
David
