We stayed at the NEW Pixar Place Hotel in a Premium Park View room in February 2024. We'll give you a full tour of the hotel, an in-depth room tour, as well as a hotel review of our experience.
As a part of the tour, we'll check out the lobby, gift shop, pool, and dining options, including a Great Maple dinner review.
We'll also cover special Disneyland Resort perks like the dedicated Disney California Adventure entrance, watching World of Color and the Disneyland fireworks from your hotel room, and Early Entry.
We'll even show you how to walk to Disneyland from the Pixar Place Hotel. We hope you enjoy this adventure with us!
If you're looking at visiting the Disneyland Resort with kids, the Pixar Place Hotel is a great place to stay.

World of Color from the hotel room was definitely the best part. I hadn’t yet seen World of Color ONE. Even when we had hotels and had planned to stay, we just didn’t want to wait for an hour and then have to stand the last 20-30 minutes when they start cramming people in. And sometimes even an hour isn’t enough to get a decent spot with obstructions of some kind.

There’s a good chunk of it still under construction and they had notices and disclaimers about fire alarm testing being possible before 9 PM and that you might hear construction noises. We didn’t experience anything that hindered our stay, though the construction is definitely obvious on the outside of the hotel, mostly only down at ground level. But with the formal change over to Pixar Place, all the old stuff in the main common areas is now fully renovated and any rooms guests stay in are the newer rooms, while the old ones are still being updated.

I smiled during the whole vlog. That is the only resort I have stayed at. I think 2019 . And it was a split stay. Super smart to save money. They did a great job. I had the view of the pool when I went. And I didn't even ask for any view. My niece and I were so excited. We stayed 2 nights. Price was cheaper. About $ 354, is still a lot. But I definitely need to save money so I can stay there again. The entrance is a game changer. I almost stayed there when I came in September. Thanks for an awesome vlog. 😁

@SoCalDisneyDad
@SoCalDisneyDad 4 ай бұрын
It is for hotel guests only to enter. Anyone can leave through that exit in the park, but non-hotel guests would have to walk all the back through Downtown Disney by walking down to the Disneyland Hotel. They can’t even go through the Grand like we showed here. There is a small security booth on the other side of the wall in DCA. I show a little bit more of the process in the early entry video that published the day after this one.

He does have a schedule. But I didn’t see it posted anywhere. We talked to the cast member on the 3rd floor deck lawn where we enjoyed shuffleboard. She said he’s usually up there on the lawn, but at that time of the afternoon she said he only had one more appearance for the night and it was in the lobby from 5:00-5:30. So she must have had a schedule she could access. I would just ask when you’re there as I imagine schedules might rotate or fluctuate.

10:33 shows a minor typo on the Great Maple information - "zof" instead of "of" there. The Sketch Pad Cafe also talks about the "evolvement" of their characters instead of their "evolution." That's too bad; Disney is known for its attention to detail, but didn't run their text through a spell check, anything connected to Grammarly or a dictionary, or an editor. I really hope this (and the other shortcuts they took) get resolved soon! This place costs too much to be cutting corners like this. REALLY appreciate the tour, especially of the paths to & from the park! That's super helpful. NO FREEZER SPACE!!! I'm incredibly surprised. And every barn door I've used lets some light out. That's not great if you have 1 party member who stays out until closing time or wakes up before everyone else. And no bathtub! I hope that's an option in some rooms, because it's a deal-breaker for most little kids, like you mentioned. I'm also disappointed that there's only 1 sink, and it's in the main bathroom. Others can't get ready for the day if someone is using the toilet or shower. The outlets immediately next to the shelf is nice, especially including USB-A and USB-C ports! That's great. And the pool area looks fun. And the view for the nightly shows really helps justify the huge price jump ($100+ per night difference). Really appreciate you adding that in! Your review comparing the other Good Neighbor hotels was also awesome. Those are the same comparisons I was thinking of during the entire video. Really solid vid! I'd say it's one of your best - and I like them all. Thanks so much.

Why is there no footage or mention of the Beachcombers Club??? Where they serve free snack, appetizers, and breakfast?

It’s not called that anymore. But that’s a Club Level room. We did not purchase club level. It’s also not “free” as you’re paying an extra $100 minimum for club level.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel when I flew her to Anaheim on her 12th birthday in '12. We really enjoyed it, though cheapest of the three Disney hotels it was perfect with its 'back door' park access and its location. I got sick on the trip and my daughter, so mature for her age, had me go back to the hotel. I napped, then rented Kung Fu Panda to watch with her, went to have some food, and stamina rebuilt, enjoyed the parks until closing. I was raised in the Napa Valley and my grammar school principle, former dean of Concordia University Irvine, surprised my daughter at Disney on her twelveth birthday and we had a small party for her at the big restaurant on the right side of Main Street USA, in its nice small atrium with a view of the Matterhorn. I've been to Disneyland/California adventure and Disneyworld, and I like both, for the uniqueness of each and if planned right, an inexpensive vacation full of family entertainment every minute. In '09, we flew to Disneyworld, staying at the Beach Club adjacent to Epcot, the greatest location in Disneyworld, and after an all day flight from Phoenix we hopped the then free Disney bus from Orlando's airport. Upon arrival at the Beach Club they chose the three of us as 'Family of the Day' giving us balloons, treats and an upgrade to the concierge floor. That gave us free breakfast, lunch, evening treats and free alcohol for my wife and I though we did not drink much. It saved us a fortune and when we left a week later my wife had tears of joy when we left, our fav vacation until we visited Honolulu four years later. I love your videos, I've had the park view in this hotel when I stayed there alone once. When my folks moved us to California in '66 from Chicago, a year before moving to the Napa Valley, we lived in Burbank and went to Disneyland and Knotts quite often. Both parks were fun and when I had a daughter 33 years later, I knew she would love Disney too given Phoenix's proximity to it by air, or car.

Did they have a height requirement for the slide? Would an adult be able to go down with a 2 year old on his lap?

Most waterslides do not allow lap sitting. I’m not sure if there’s a height requirement, but at the very least I’d probably assume they’d need to be old/tall enough to do it themselves.

1717 S Disneyland Dr. Right next to the main entrance to the Grand Californian Hotel. It’s just on the other side of the wall behind DCA down by the Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta area.

Which hotel would you say is a closer walk, Pixar Place or the Best Western Plus Park Place Inn?
@SoCalDisneyDad
@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын
BW Park Place Inn all day for Disneyland. For DCA, the dedicated back entrance is nice and very handy at Pixar Place. But is it necessary? No. Park Place Inn is still just as close.

All the rooms where guests stay are renovated. The rooms that aren't renovated are in the process of being renovated and that whole tower is closed off at the moment.

Did you have to request a theme park view room? Or did you just get lucky! I put in a request and hope they honor it.
@SoCalDisneyDad
@SoCalDisneyDad 5 ай бұрын
So first is that this was a Premium Room. As opposed to standard. Now premium just refers to the height. Apparently it could be views of “the resort” or theme park. I don’t know what a view of the resort would be. When we called to make the reservation (online system was broken at the time) we did ask the rep to make that request for us. And I mentioned it again at check-in. Disney is usually pretty good about requests.

Yes! And check-in, even if your room isn’t available yet. You also get early access on check-in and check-out days.

@@efrainmagallanes8319 Not really, so I guess if you’re looking for something more kid friendly and fun, there’s a lot more connection at Pixar. But the GCH is just on another level hotel-wise. It’s a gorgeous resort for relaxing and the ambience is second to none at Disneyland.
