Hi there, Kendall,
Woohoo! You’re staying at my favorite hotel resort. My family and I like the
Disneyland Hotel so much that we recently became Disney Vacation Club members with
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel as our home resort. We can’t wait to be welcomed to our new Disneyland Resort home!
As you have learned, the Monorail Waterslides at the
Disneyland Hotel pool area are currently closed during the construction of the new Disney Vacation Club tower. The reopening date for the waterslides hasn’t been announced yet. The Villas at Disneyland Hotel is expected to begin
welcoming Guests as early as September 28, 2023. So I’m wishing on a star that the Monorail Waterslides open before that date.
Should you find that the Monorail Waterslides are still closed during your visit, that would understandably be a little disappointing. But I’ve got great news if they are still closed at that time. That is, Guests of the Disneyland Hotel will be permitted to use the
Pools at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. What makes that particularly special is that
Paradise Pier Hotel is currently undergoing a reimagining to become
Pixar Place Hotel. As part of that transformation, the pool deck atop the hotel’s third floor has already opened. So you may be able to experience the
newly-opened Crush’s Surfin’ Slide and the Pixel Pool. Paradise Pier Hotel is a very short walk from the Disneyland Hotel. So you can conveniently access the fin-tastic fun with Crush and his Pixar pals almost as fast as you can say “Duuuuuuude!”
I hope you have a magical time at the Disneyland Hotel and the Disneyland Resort, Kendall!
