Hey howdy hey, Kimberly! You’ve got a friend in me at
planDisney, and I’m so glad to see you back here!
This is a great question, and one that I’ve been wondering, too. At this time, the
Disneyland Resort hasn’t released an official reopening date for the completion of
the transition of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel into Pixar Place Hotel. So, unfortunately, we don’t know if the reimagining will be done by your late January visit. However, there is a way to keep track of the latest construction updates. I recommend continuing
to check this page, which is being updated with the latest construction information. I just checked it, and noticed that it was last updated on October 31, 2022. The good news is that hotel amenities, including the direct entrance for Hotel Guests into Disney California Adventure Park, will continue to remain open. As soon as a completion date is available, there’s a good chance you’ll also see it released on the
Disney Parks Blog, so I recommend staying tuned there, too. I look forward to hEARing more about the future of this exciting change coming to the Disneyland Resort, and I hope it will be complete by your visit, Kimberly!
What part of the transformation are you most excited for? I think my children will get a kick out of the new
Finding Nemo-themed splash pad area. I can’t wait to check out Great Maple, the modern American eatery coming to the first floor of the Pixar Place Hotel. The restaurant promises upscale comfort food with a twist – sounds good to me!
I hope this information helps, Kimberly! Don’t hesitate to stop by with any additional questions you may have as your trip approaches… we’re all EARs!
Wishing you magic,
Kristin
