Hi Katherine, and welcome to planDisney! My family recently stayed at
Pixar Place Hotel, and we absolutely fell in love with all the incredible details and Easter eggs hidden throughout. My personal favorite? The Luxo Jr. desk lamp inside our hotel room, shining like a little beacon of Pixar magic.
Unfortunately, a reopening date for the pool at Pixar Place Hotel hasn’t been announced yet. But don’t worry, you can still enjoy the
Pixar Place Hotel pool deck for fireworks viewing on select nights during its refurbishment. And here’s a little Incredible news: as a guest of Pixar Place Hotel, you have access to the
pools at Disneyland Hotel, including the Monorail Pool and its awesome waterslides! There’s even a shuttle available between the two hotels, so be sure to stop by the Front Desk for more information. No need to hitch a ride with Lightning McQueen to get there!
One additional tip I should let you know about: the exclusive entrance into Disney California Adventure just for hotel guests! This entrance is directly across the street from Pixar Place Hotel and drops you right into Pixar Pier, so you can get to your adventures faster than Dash Parr on a sugar rush. Plus, after a full day of fun, this entrance makes heading back to your hotel room so much easier; no need to trek all the way back through the park when your bed is waiting for you.
Speaking of early adventures, Katherine, I also want to remind you that as a guest of Pixar Place Hotel, you’ll enjoy an extra sprinkle of magic with
Early Entry! This means you’ll have access to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure 30 minutes before regular opening each day of your stay. The Early Entry schedule is available on the Disneyland website, and all you need is your room key and theme park reservation to take advantage of this perk. It’s a fantastic way to jump straight into the fun! My family loves heading directly to Incredicoaster before the standby line builds up. It’s an adrenaline rush to kick start our day!
If you have any more questions as you gear up for your adventure, feel free to reach out to me or any of the other panelists here at planDisney.
Wishing you a trip filled with friendship, adventure, and just the right amount of "To Infinity and Beyond!"
