Pixar Place Hotel, the first fully Pixar-themed hotel in the United States, will officially open at Disneyland on Jan. 30, 2024, officials announced Monday.
Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel is currently being reimagined into the new hotel.
Officials also shared renderings of what the new guest rooms will look like and what menu items guests can expect from the Great Maple restaurant.
The reimagined guest rooms give nod to the famous animation studio with décor inspired by some of Pixar’s famed movies like “The Incredibles,” “Toy Story 3” and more.
The restaurant, which will be opening at the hotel in November, will serve upscale comfort food like Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Maple Bacon Doughnuts, Cajun Shrimp and Cheddar Biscuit Benedict, Maple Pecan-Crusted Salmon, Soda Pop-Braised Baby Back Ribs and more.
The menu will have various breakfast, lunch and dinner food items.
Sketch Pad Café, a new grab-and-go coffee shop, and Small Bytes, a new rooftop pool bar, will also open in the following weeks, Disneyland officials announced.
The hotel has still been open during the transformation and guests can use some of the new Pixar-themed amenities that have been installed.
New additions such as the “Finding Nemo”-inspired water play area, family play court, new and expanded fitness center and the new gift shop location in the lobby are open for guests.
More details about when the hotel will open and the amenities offered will be shared at a later date, Disneyland officials said.
