Pixar Place Hotel

Worst hotel ever the pool is so small you can't even walk around in the pool when other people are in it. I would have to wait 20 minutes for the elevator and then it would be to full to take anyone else so I would have to wait another 20 minutes. I didn't complain while I was there but did after we left and the response i got was sho*t out of luck.

Booked this Disney hotel expecting a magical stay! Sadly it didn’t make the mark. Check iin - room wasn’t ready on time even though we’d arrived 2 hours earlier and they knew we were waiting. Simply got told abruptly that 1 room was ready and we’d need to wait for the other. This was very frustrating as we’d arrived excited and enthusiastic to get going but also it was infuriating given the obscene amount of money they charge for a Disney hotel. They didn’t seem to care. We used the secure store for luggage whilst we waited and decided to get our swimming stuff out of the cases so as not to waste any time. I was disgusted that my daughter was left struggling to get her heavy case on and off the trolley whilst staff stood watching. Room was lovely and well themed with Disney characters and very clean. Lifts as we had read in reviews before staying were an absolute nightmare and very frustrating. They took forever! Swimming pool was tiny full of screaming kids - I could not understand why it was so tiny and didn’t fit the size of the hotel. No changing rooms I had to get changed in a toilet. Too expensive to eat on site. Lovely shop full of Disney items and we loved the short 6 minute walk into the park. We are very much a Disney family and loved our stay last year at Disney Art of Animation in Florida so really disappointed not to be able to review this hotel positively and recommend it to others 😢 Didn’t feel magical in the slightest.

There were a number of issues during our stay. The elevators were very slow and the location was not as close to the parks as presented. But for our second stay at the hotel the water slide was closed down. They offered to take us to another Disney hotel but that was too inconvenient. We were there for 3 days, and the slide never opened and they could not tell us when they would open. Very disappointing.

This hotel was pretty nice. I would love to rate it high. But there were some issues. The room was amazing. However, the “smart” elevator system they use is a nightmare. You will spend forever waiting for an elevator. The system has no way of knowing how many people are loading. So it may have multiple floors selected but not everyone fits. Leaving you going through the whole process again. Many people are left just taking several flights of stairs. Next, the pool is small. It’s not even big enough to accommodate half the hotel. Took my kids down to the pool just to find that there’s only room for you to stand in the water. Forget swimming or playing around in the water because it’s too crowded.

Our family of 4 throughly enjoyed our stay at the Pixar Hotel in Disneyland California. The gentleman, Rex, who checked us was exceptionally helpful, welcoming, and accommodating. He was very friendly and the attention to detail truly made us feel at home. The room was fantastic- modern, spacious and clean, beds were comfortable, and a perfect place to relax after long days in the parks. We also loved the hotel’s facilities. The access to Disney California Adventure park was very convenient and we enjoyed having early access to the park. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful with tips regarding where to dine and instructions on how and when to access the parks. Our family throughly enjoyed our stay and we can’t wait to return!

Our stay was excellent, our room was very clean and updated, nice linens and towels. Everything was of high quality, as expected from the Disney brand. Walking distance was about 15 min from the main gate, A faster entrance to Ca Adventure with some restrictions. Monarail is close by also. Lovely pool area with activities going on at night. Will return again for sure.!!! Sad I had to leave....

The elevators were a nightmare, I was in a disability scooter, Staff actually took me to the freight elevators because I could not get into an elevator multiple times. In their defense they offered an apology and accomodation.

it was soooooooooooo fun the water park was amazing I went on the water slide so many times, it was that fun. My room was great. We got early entry, amazing. It so deserves 5 stars.

This hotel was perfect for us. I love how close it is to DCA and DL by going through the Grand California. The elevators were no issue at all and we were on the 10th floor! Check in staff is super friendly and bell services. Super clean hotel with perfect amount of Disney touches . I like how the Sketch pad is open early so you can grap something quick before heading to parks.

This hotel is 1000 times better than the Grand, which you can read about in my other review. The art/decor is absolutely incredible, it’s the cutest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Like everything else Pixar, every detail was mastered. From the food in the Great Maple, to the pianist that looks like he came right out of Soul (the movie), it was incredible. We stayed in a club level room, which gave us access to the Creator’s Club. They served breakfast, snacks and small bites through the day, for free. The fitness room was larger than most hotels and the Monsters Inc wall art was perfect. They had an indoor pop up mini golf, Putt Putt, but I think it’s only there for another month. That was a great way to spend the hot afternoon. The hotel room was perfect. Bed was comfy, shower was adjustable height, and the room was immaculate. The floors are wood, and they mop them when they service your room. The secret entrance to DCA is my favorite, you enter the park right next to Corndog Castle. If you want to enter Disneyland, you can ride the Monorail into Tomorrowland. The ONLY negative about this hotel is the elevator system. You select your floor from outside the elevator and it tells you which one to wait for, A,B,C or D. The system is flawed. I’m not sure if it’s by design or if it’s because children push multiple floors. You end up stopping on a lot of floors for no reason. Other guests also think they’re suppose to get in your elevator, but it’s going up and they’re going down. I think if they had a traditional elevator with the floor pad inside the car, it might be faster. We waited over 5 minutes once.
