Other Private Theme Park Hotel Entrance Closing

Pixar Place Hotel exit

Just as the Grand Californian private theme park entrance to Disney California Adventure reopened, Disney has announced that its other private hotel entrance to the park near Pixar Place Hotel will be temporarily closed. This entrance, located across the street from the Pixar Place Hotel, will be closed starting today through mid-June for construction to install the new entry gates. Right now, there aren’t any turnstiles to enter at this location, as the process is just that a Cast Member scans your ticket after you go through security.

Disney shared that during this closure, guests can use the newly reopened Grand Californian’s private theme park entrance located near GCH Craftsman Bar and Grill. This is a slightly further walk for Pixar Place Hotel guests, as you have to cut through the hotel to get to this entrance.

This batch of new entry gates will be the final installation at the resort for this project, as all of the other theme park entrances across the resort are utilizing this new system.
