Greetings, Araceli, and welcome to planDisney! I love staying at the Pixar Place Hotel, and have done the walk from the lobby to the Disneyland Monorail many times. It's quite easy!
From the Pixar Place Hotel, it is approximately 0.3 miles (less than 10 minutes) to the Disneyland Monorail station in the
Downtown Disney District. You'll walk out of the lobby (from the side closer to the parking structure), across the street at the roundabout, and to the security entrance adjacent to
Din Tai Fung. From there, you'll walk past the lawn and stage to the station.
I love using the
Disneyland Monorail to get to Disneyland. It's a quick ride and you arrive right in Tomorrowland. It's also a fantastic way to get back to the hotel after a long day in the park. Just keep in mind that it may close temporarily for fireworks shows.
Araceli, there are so many things you can look forward to at the
Pixar Place Hotel. I especially enjoy the artistry and bold colors throughout – it really brings the whimsy of Pixar films to life! What really sets it apart, however, is the
rooftop pool deck. On one side, you'll find a pool, splash pad, water slide, and cabanas. The other side has lawn games, lots of seating, and a quick-service dining option. This is the place to be on nights when Disneyland has fireworks – you'll have an awesome view and the music is broadcast at the same time, making it really immersive. I have young kids who don't usually do well with staying in the park late enough for fireworks – taking them to the pool deck in their pajamas with a short walk back to our room after is much easier!
There are several good options for breakfast in and around the hotel. For a quick bite paired with caffeine, stop at
The Sketch Pad Café.
Great Maple Modern American Eatery is a good option if you're looking for a slower start to your morning in the hotel – I hear the maple bacon donuts are not to be missed. One of my favorite stops for breakfast is
Sip & Sonder in the Downtown Disney District, just across from the monorail station. They have an amazing plant-based breakfast sandwich!
Araceli, remember that, as a Disneyland Resort hotel Guest, you can participate in
exclusive activities, including hotel tours, crafts, movie nights, and more during your stay. You can also join a fitness class for an additional fee.
Comfortable rooms, great amenities, a convenient location, and Disney details big and small are just a few things that make this hotel great. I am sure you will have a wonderful time.
Please let us know if you think of any other questions as your trip approaches. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
