Pixar Place Hotel

Formerly Paradise Pier, reimagined top to bottom and reopened as Pixar Place in 2023. The theming leans hard into the artistry behind Pixar’s films rather than any one movie, which makes it feel fresh instead of like a themed overlay on an old building. It sits right at the edge of Downtown Disney, an easy walk to both parks, and the rooftop pool deck is a genuinely nice place to unwind after a long park day.

This is where we send young families and first-time Pixar-obsessed kids who want Disney-owned convenience without stepping up to Disneyland Hotel or Grand Californian pricing.
