Hello again, Whitney! Today must be my lucky day. I am so glad to help you with another question about your upcoming stay!
I have good news! It looks like
Pixel Pool at
Pixar Place Hotel is scheduled to reopen the first week of April. This is subject to change, so I recommend keeping an eye on the
Daily Events Schedule as your visit gets closer. Also, if swimming works up an appetite, I highly recommend checking out the Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Maple Bacon Doughnuts at
Great Maple Modern American Eatery. It was big enough for my husband and me to split, and it has quickly become a go-to for a fun date night. Advanced dining reservations are recommended and can be booked up to 60 days in advance!
I see that you also want to know if you can use the
Grand Californian Hotel entrance to get to Downtown Disney. I am happy to report that entrance is unaffected by the other renovation going on with the hotel's exclusive park entrance, so you should be able to use that entrance to enter the
Downtown Disney District during your stay.
With so much going on at the Disneyland Resort, be sure to check out the
Disney Parks Blog and follow the
Disneyland Instagram. There are tons of official news and announcements to make your visit extra special!
Thanks again for stopping by!
I hope to see you again soon.
Just keep swimming,
Melissa
