Pixar Place Hotel Entrance to Disney California Adventure Is Closing
The Pixar Place Hotel entrance to Disney California Adventure will close on January 5, 2026. While some reports suggest the closure is permanent, Disney has not made an official statement using that specific language, so it is not confirmed for sure.
Starting on January 5, 2026, the entrance from Pixar Place Hotel into Disney California Adventure will be unavailable. Guests can instead use the main park entrance or the entrance located inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
Interestingly, this closure comes just weeks after Disney installed brand new gates at the Pixar Place Hotel entrance. This shortcut, which opened in 2022 when the hotel was still Paradise Pier Hotel, previously used a Cast Member with a mobile ticketing cart instead of permanent gates. The entrance is located in Paradise Gardens Park, between Corn Dog Castle and Seaside Souvenirs.
Disney stated that the change is part of a strategy to “optimize the guest experience while also considering demand, popularity, and interest.” This suggests the entrance was not utilized enough to justify its continued operation.
The closure of the entrance also coincides with the end of early park entry for resort hotel guests.
