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 Disney hotel perk celebrating the release of Toy Story 5 is about to begin!

Disneyland Hotel

There are plenty of ways to get your Toy Story fix around the Disney parks and resorts, from permanent attractions like Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to limited-edition souvenirs and snacks themed after our favorite characters. And tomorrow, a NEW Disney hotel perk is officially launching to celebrate the recent release of Toy Story 5!

Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 hit theaters on Friday, June 19th, and we’ve seen special offerings pop up in the parks around the world to help mark the occasion. From refreshed character costumes to a MUST-HAVE Bullseye popcorn bucket, it’s been a very Toy Story summer so far. And the party continues with a new hotel perk, starting TOMORROW!

Hey, pals!

Each of the Disneyland Resort Hotels will host “Disney Poolside Splash Bash” on Thursdays and Sundays, starting July 2nd. The event will feature Disney trivia, music, and Toy Story characters showing off some of their dance moves!

That means guests at Pixar Place Hotel, Disneyland Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will have the chance to meet Bo Peep, Jessie, and Woody poolside, AND take part in all the other fun and games! Plus, to dive even deeper into the franchise, check out the special installation highlighting Toy Story 5 located on the second-floor atrium of the Pixar Place Hotel.

Disney hasn’t given an end date for the Poolside Splash Bash, but since it’s listed as a celebration for Toy Story 5, it’s likely a limited-time event, so be sure to swing by for all the fun if it’s around during your next Disneyland hotel stay!
