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.

Disneyland Resort: The new Avengers Vault is a Marvel fanatic's dream getaway

As if kicking your feet up at the Disneyland Resort wasn’t enough - how about geeking out over some amazing, super fun-looking and all-you-can-get-your-hands-on signature Marvel gear from the Avengers Vault? It’s more than a celebration with the must-see retail spot opening today at the Disney California Adventure Park.

From super fire attire to decked-out souvenirs perfect for the office gig or your college dorm, the sky’s the limit - well, maybe not for Tony Stark - peep the details and huge salute to the Avengers Vault team for coming through with these amazing up-close snapshots.

For 2 years, Super Heroes have been assembling across space and time to train the next generation of heroes. They use the Avengers Campus as a hub for multi-world exploration, keeping unique artifacts they’ve collected here. However, the most powerful relics of their collection have been kept closed in the Avengers Vault… until now.

For the first time—Recruits, YOU have clearance!

Enter the Vault

Discover impressive artifacts from other worlds, such as an orphaned Captain America shield found by Ant-Man, an empty Iron Man armor suit webbed up by Spider-Man and foreign Infinity Stones uncovered by the Hulk

The Avengers Vault staff have Level 7 clearance, allowing them to handle these powerful artifacts and ensure that they don’t end up in the wrong hands—such as HYDRA, hostile Skrulls or Loki variants.

Further Your Super Hero Training
With the approval of the Vault staff, you’re able to acquire items as part of the campus initiative to empower more heroes to defend our world. There is one caveat: you may be called upon by the Avengers to help defend our reality.

Located in a portion of Avengers Headquarters, this new shop features Infinity Saga Relics arriving at the Disneyland Resort for the first time, plus apparel and other fan-favorite merchandise.

Items in Avengers Vault represent some of the most powerful artifacts the Avengers have assembled in their multi-world explorations, including the Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Stones. Recruits can also pick up replicas of iconic Super Hero gear, like Iron Man’s Arc Reactor and Loki’s TVA Badge and Time Stick.
