Disneyland Resort: The mind-blowing Pixar Place Hotel is the best way to start '24

Of course it’s all about living in the moment but what’s the future if you’re geeking out a little - or a lot, right? Turns out Disneyland Resort is coming through with the big vacation goals news in the form of details surrounding its long-awaited Pixar Place Hotel grand opening and it’s way sooner than you think - just pretend you didn’t see the massive featured image, of course.

While you’ll have to wait until after the winter holidays before kicking back in the fancy, luxurious hot spot, it’s clear the hotel will be ready for your low-key Super Bowl weekend planning goals.

Today, Disneyland Resort announced that Pixar Place Hotel will open Jan. 30, 2024 – marking the official transformation of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel into the first fully Pixar-themed hotel in the United States.

The announcement also revealed what guests can expect to see as more playful Pixar elements come to life at the property:

• A first look rendering of the reimagined guest rooms depicting whimsical details that nod to the iconic animation studio. Some art was created expressly for the hotel by Pixar Animation Studios artists.

• Great Maple restaurant will open its ground-floor flagship eatery in November, offering items such as buttermilk fried chicken and maple bacon doughnuts.

• A few weeks later, Great Maple will also open the new Sketch Pad Café grab-and-go coffee shop in the lobby and Small Bytes rooftop pool bar.

• A new lobby rendering depicting the Pixar Lamp and mobile that will greet guests in the atrium.

 Guests at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel can enjoy new offerings available now, such as outdoor fire pits themed to hotheaded Pixar characters, the STOR-E retail shop and expanded fitness center.
