What Readers Are Saying About Pixar Place Hotel

Staying at Paradise Pier was terrible. The quality of the hotel for the cost is NOT worth it. We could hear every work our neighbors spoke.

We stayed at Paradise Pier Club Level and it was SO NICE to have access to the restaurant at 6:30am. We got there as soon as it opened, grabbed coffee and food, and made it to early park open with absolutely no drama.

We adored Paradise Pier. Our room was a concierge level theme park view room on the 14th floor, and the view was amazing! Loved being able to watch World of Color from the room with audio piped in.

Theme Park Tickets

Park tickets are best purchased online in advance either directly through Disney or from a trusted third-party vendor. However, if you arrive without park tickets, head to the concierge desk in the hotel lobby.

Dining reservation are best made online in advance or on your phone during your visit. You can also use our Disneyland Reservation Finder.

Laundry

Washers and dryers are availabile in laundry facilities at each Disneyland hotel. Cost is $3 per wash, and another $3 per dry cycle. A small selection of soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are also sold, for around $1 each. Only credit/debit cards can be used for payment.

Lost and Found
