Your Ultimate Guide to Everything You're Not Going to Want to Miss at the Pixar Place Hotel

We finally got a chance to visit the Pixar Place Hotel, and it is absolutely stunning! I remember staying at the Paradise Pier hotel over 15 years ago, and this new theming was the refresh that this hotel most definitely needed! I had also hoped we would see Bing Bong while we were there, and getting to meet him dressed in my Joy inspired outfit made me so happy!

The Pixar Place Hotel is located at 1717 S Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802. Keep reading to learn about everything you need to know about visiting the hotel!

Meet Bing Bong from Inside Out
I wasn’t able to find Bing Bong’s meet and greet times published anywhere on the Disneyland app, but you can always ask a cast member at the hotel for when he’s scheduled to appear! We went on a Saturday and they told us he would most likely be out around 1:15pm (but that it wasn’t guaranteed). Bing Bong meets guests in the lobby by the Luxo Jr. and Luxo Ball statue!

Watch Joe Gardner from Soul Perform
Unfortunately Joe wasn’t out when we visited, but I’ve seen videos of him performing in the lobby area next to the Soul inspired murals! I hope we’ll get to catch him next time we’re there!

Dine at The Great Maple Restaurant
We had brunch at the onsite restaurant, The Great Maple, and it was so good - this is such a great new addition to Disney’s dining options! They also take Magic Key discounts (but sadly, no DVC discounts). Complimentary three hour hotel parking is included with validation from dining at the restaurant.

Grab a Quick Drink or Snack at The Sketch Pad Cafe
If you’re looking for a quick service option, make sure to stop by the Sketch Pad Cafe where you can grab coffee, tea, pastries, and baked goods!
