One of the hotels in the Disneyland Resort in California is about to get a makeover, switching from the current beach inspired theme to the Pixar universe. A few days ago, the resort’s president Ken Potrock met with community leaders to discuss the “plans for magical new experiences coming to the Disneyland Resort” and their decisions were announced shortly after.
The reimagining of the Paradise Pier Hotel will weave the artistry of Pixar into its comfortable, contemporary setting. Guests will gain a new perspective on some of their favourite Pixar worlds and characters through carefully curated artwork, and décor that reveals the creative journey of the artists who helped bring these stories to life. Visitors will be welcomed into whimsical character moments, like the iconic, playful Pixar Lamp balancing atop its ball in the lobby.
The renovation will not only bring a new look, but also new benefits for hotel guests. Beginning later this summer, guests staying at one of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort will be able to enjoy several new and returning “uniquely Disney benefits” to staying on the property. Patrons already enjoy access to Disney California Adventure park directly through Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa entrance, as well as Monorail access. To enhance accessibility and connectivity, a walkway is currently under construction which will soon give Paradise Pier Hotel guests a convenient entrance to Disney California Adventure park.
Later this year, guests can also look forward to “Hey Disney!”, a new kind of voice assistant, which works alongside Alexa on Amazon Echo devices in Disneyland Resort hotel rooms, that can “make your stay more convenient, engaging, and enjoyable”.
This summer, guests of the Disneyland Resort hotels can also look forward to the ability to send select theme park purchases directly to their rooms, instead of carrying them around all day. Furthermore, Disneyland announced that they are preparing to offer early entry access to visitors staying at one of the resort hotels, so they can be among the first to enter the park and begin enjoying select theme attractions and experiences.
