Disneyland has revealed that the transformation of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel into the Pixar Place Hotel will officially be completed on January 30th, 2024, becoming the first fully Pixar-themed hotel in the United States.
What’s Happening:
- Pixar Place Hotel will evoke the inspiration and humor that goes into every Pixar film, while celebrating the artistic process. Showcasing early sketches to finished design, the art and decor will highlight vibrant Pixar stories, revealing some never-before-seen artwork.
- When the lobby is complete, you will see even more unique art inspired by Pixar films and be greeted by the iconic Pixar Lamp balancing atop its ball, with an imaginative mobile of beloved Pixar characters floating from the bright skylight above.
- The mobile will depict the beginning stages of Pixar filmmaking, when animators create the characters’ designs with their most basic shapes and colors. The characters you’ll see are at the beginning of their journey, just as the guests who step into the lobby begin their own story at the Disneyland Resort!
- We also get a look inside one of the reimagined guest rooms. From pillows inspired by the Pixar Ball to lighting reminiscent of the Pixar Lamp, there will be whimsical nods to the iconic animation studio throughout these comfortable and contemporary accommodations. Some of the art was even created by Pixar Animation Studios artists especially for Pixar Place Hotel! The headboards will consist of concept art from a variety of Pixar features, including The Incredibles, Toy Story 3 and more that are arranged in order from warm to cool colors, sharing the importance of color to the tone of a scene.
- Many elements of the reimagined hotel are already visible to guests, such as the Pixel Pool and Crush’s Surfin’ Slide.
- The new gift shop STOR-E — a playful take on the Pixar film name WALL-E — features Pixar-themed apparel and toys, plus more Disneyland Resort souvenirs and sundries.
- Plus, a new and expanded fitness center recently opened, offering treadmills, free weights and more complimentary for hotel guests. Keep an eye out for a mural of Mike and Sulley running on a treadmill, inspired by Pixar’s Monsters University.
- Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel is open and welcoming guests during this transformation and offers the added benefits of staying on property at the Disneyland Resort, including a dedicated entrance across the street with direct access to Disney California Adventure.
