If you’re visiting Disneyland and happen to be a massive Pixar fan, you may choose to stay at Pixar Place Hotel, which is…as you may have guessed from the name…dedicated to all things Pixar. You can even see the gigantic Pixar lamp and ball in the hotel lobby, as well as meet some rare Pixar characters like Joe from Soul and Bing Bong from Inside Out.

Pixar Place Hotel

Well, four things have been closed for a little while at this hotel, but we’ve got great news: all four closures are ending this month.

On September 8th, the Pixel Pool and the Paradise Spa at Pixar Place Hotel both closed for refurbishment. However, both are scheduled to reopen on September 19th. This is good news if you’ll be on vacation at the hotel and want to use the pool or take a break in the hotel’s spa.

The Crush Surfin’ Slide and splash pad at Nemo’s Cove also closed on September 8th, but you’ll be able to visit both soon, on September 25th. So if you’re looking for a little extra play time at the hotel, you’ll be able to do that soon, too.

At the moment, no other closures have been reported for this hotel, so everything will be open there by the end of the month. So if you’ve been waiting to book a stay there, now’s a good time as any. There’s a lot of fun Pixar-themed things to appreciate about the hotel, including nods to Pixar shorts, a fitness center, fireworks viewing from the rooftop pool deck, and more.

We’ll keep an eye out for more Disneyland closures and reopenings, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

A NEW Hotel Deal Could Save You BIG $$$ On Your Next Disney Trip

Planning a trip to Disneyland is a lot different than planning a trip to Disney World. First, you don’t really need to do so much planning (and a lot of us LOVE that). But another thing that’s different is that you might be way better off staying at a hotel that isn’t on Disney property because there are so many great hotels in the area that are so close to Disneyland.

The Anaheim Hotel

Well, if you’re thinking about visiting Disneyland and looking for a great hotel, there’s one that keeps winning a HUGE award year after year, and to celebrate its FIFTH year winning that award, it’s giving away a fourth free night if you book three days with the hotel.

For the fifth year in a row, The Anaheim Hotel, which is literally across the street from Disney California Adventure in Disneyland, has received TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best for 2026. This puts it among the top 1 percent of more than 8 million hotels listed on TripAdvisor. That’s a big deal!

To celebrate this achievement and to thank travelers who reviewed the hotel, The Anaheim Hotel is launching a special promotion where you can stay three nights and get a fourth night free. This exclusive rate is available on select room types for stays through 2026 while rooms last. So you’ll want to hop on over to The Anaheim Hotel website and use promo code 4NF after selecting four nights when booking online. Or you can call 1-800-631-4144 to book, too!

“This is hard-won recognition, shaped by millions of travelers who booked, showed up, and rated what was actually worth their time,” said Laurel Greatrix, Chief Communications Officer, Tripadvisor Group. “There’s a clear theme in this year’s winners: they bring out what makes a destination unique. These aren’t experiences that simply fill an itinerary — they’re the experiences that give you a better way to understand a place.”

The Anaheim Hotel!

We’ll keep an eye out for more hotel deals, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

To celebrate the release of the new film, you’ll soon be able to experience Disney Poolside Splash Bash at all the Disneyland hotels! The offering will begin on July 2nd and take place on Thursdays and Sundays, and will feature Disney trivia, music through the decades, and characters showing off some of their dance moves. Yes, that means you’ll get to meet Jessie, Bo Peep, and Woody poolside at Pixar Place Hotel, Disneyland Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
