Disney's Pixar Place Hotel: A Complete Guide to Disneyland's Most Colorful Resort

By Laura Petersen​
Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel celebrates the films of the Pixar Animation Studios, with Pixar themed furnishings and artwork throughout the resort and guest rooms.  There are accommodations for different budgets and for families of various sizes.  This hotel is in close proximity to Downtown Disney and the theme park entrances. On select nights guests can watch the fireworks for the Disneyland Park from the third-floor pool deck. ​

Resort Lobby
From the moment you arrive, this resort immerses you fully into larger-than-life fun with giant character sculptures, colorful façades, and distinctly themed sections.

Pool Area, Slide and Splash Pad
Guests can cool off at the all-new Pixel Pool or lounge in the sun on one of the plentiful lounge chairs.  Crush’s Surfin’ Slide is 186 feet long for those guests who are more adventurous and the splash pad, Nemo’s Cove is just the right size for little ones to be a part of the action.  There is also pool side dining and specialty drinks offered from Small Bytes. ​

The Sketch Pad Café is the quick service dining option located in the lobby of Pixar Place.  They have limited hours (6am-2pm) and a selection of pastries and grab and go items, as well as coffee, espresso and tea.  
Great Maple Modern American Eatery is the adjacent sit-down restaurant featuring American comfort food in a stylish atmosphere.  It is open daily for brunch (8am-2pm) and dinner (5-9pm).

Location and Transportation

Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, California, within the Disneyland Resort property.  It is a short walk to Downtown Disney and both theme parks.  The monorail station at Downtown Disney will take those with Disneyland Park admission or an active Magic Key pass directly into Tomorrowland.  

Overall Review of this resort
My favorite parts of this hotel were the stellar Pixar theming, the bright rooms and the proximity to the other Disneyland hotels, Downtown Disney and the parks.  The price point makes this a good choice for families on a budget who still want to be in the “Disney Bubble” and close to it all.
