Today the lobby of Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel reopened following a reimagining of the former Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel. We stopped by to see what the new lobby looks like.

On our walk in from the parking lot we noticed that only one section of the original paint scheme remains on the hotel’s exterior.

The temporary entrance area which was previously used to access the lobby has been blocked off. Construction crews are beginning to rip it up. A chain link fence and a sign that reads “Cast Members Only” blocks the path that previously lead to the area.

Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel Transformation to be Completed This Winter
The reimagining of Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel into Disney’s Pixar Place Hotel is to be completed this winter. The project was first announced at the D23 Expo in 2022.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Lobby Opens at Disney's Pixar Place Hotel at Disneyland Resort 98 paradise pier hotel pixar concept art](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/04/paradise-pier-hotel-pixar-concept-art.jpeg)
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Lobby Opens at Disney's Pixar Place Hotel at Disneyland Resort 99 pixar place hotel](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/pixar-place-hotel.jpeg)
The retheme of the hotel is already underway, and we saw the sign for the hotel removed last year. The concept art shows Pixar ball lights outside and a colorful porte cochère.
![PHOTOS, VIDEO: Lobby Opens at Disney's Pixar Place Hotel at Disneyland Resort 100 pixar lobby](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/04/pixar-lobby.jpg)
Guests will be welcomed into whimsical character moments, like the iconic, playful Pixar Lamp balancing atop its ball in the lobby, as seen above.
The reimagining of the hotel will weave the artistry of Pixar into its contemporary setting. Guests will gain a new perspective on some of their favorite 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.
The announcement comes following the leak of original plans to turn the hotel into a Toy Story one, but Disney eventually opted to represent all Pixar franchises in the reimagined hotel.

A splash pad themed to “Finding Nemo” is part of the retheming of the property. Concept art shows “Finding Nemo” characters on the splash pad, including Crush atop a waterslide.
