Aloha Francine, and welcome to planDisney! I love the
Pixar Place Hotel – the bold colors and artistic touches bring the heart and whimsy of Pixar films to life. You'll have an unforgettable time!
Typically, Guests may only use the pools and amenities at the hotel where they stay. That said, the Pixar Place Hotel
pool deck is scheduled to be closed for refurbishment starting March 3, 2025, and during the closure, Guests may use the
pools at the nearby Disneyland Hotel. There are small water slides for the little ones, larger Monorail-themed slides, a Steamboat Willie splash pad, and multiple pools and hot tubs. It's nice that the hotel has this plan in place so Guests can "just keep swimming" during the pool deck closure.
There are a
number of activities for Disneyland Resort hotel Guests that you may be interested in, Francine! The Front Desk will provide you with a printed schedule of events when you check in. This may include guided walking tours of the Disneyland Hotel and the Grand Californian Hotel, movie nights, drawing sessions, and more. Keep in mind that some activities require reservations, so check with the Front Desk if anything catches your eye.
One of my favorite things about the Pixar Place Hotel is watching the Disneyland fireworks from the pool deck. The view is amazing, and music plays over speakers, making you feel like you're standing on Main Street, U.S.A. The good news is, even with the refurbishment, Guests can still gather there to watch the show on select nights.
Don't forget that, as a Disneyland Resort hotel Guest, you'll enjoy wonderful perks like
Early Entry. There is also a
special entrance to California Adventure just for Guests of Pixar Place Hotel.
Francine, I hope this has excited you even more for your stay at the Happiest Place on Earth. Wishing you a journey full of wonder, fun, and memories as vibrant as a Pixar film.
To infinity and beyond!
Kriss
