Disneyland to open new lounge, host speaker series at Pixar Place Hotel

Creators Club, a new concierge lounge at Disney’s new Pixar Place Hotel, will open on May 24, the resort announced Friday.

The new lounge will have continental breakfast, wine and cheese receptions, beer, sparkling wine, hot bites, and desserts in the evening, and a dedicated concierge.

The space, whose décor will pay homage to the collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar Animation Studios, will have concept art, maquettes, and a ride vehicle from Jessie’s Critter Carousel, an attraction in Disney’s California Adventure.

The lounge is only accessible for “club-level guests.” To book a concierge-level room, guests should select a Club Level room during the booking process by visiting this website.

As part of the resort’s Pixar Fest celebration, Pixar Place Hotel will also host a limited-time speaker series for hotel guests featuring:

• Peter Sohn, director of “Elemental” (Saturday, May 25)
• Maurissa Horwitz, lead editor for “Inside Out 2” (Thursday, June 20)
• Roger Gould, creative director, Theme Parks, Pixar Animation Studios (Saturday, July 13)

Guests of the hotels at Disneyland Resort can attend the speaker series for free.

The new addition to the hotel comes after its grand opening in January.

The revamped hotel includes three new eateries, a gift shop, a rooftop mini bar, a “Finding Nemo-themed water play area and more.

Guests visiting the reimagined hotel may encounter characters like Bing Bong from “Inside Out” or see Joe Gardener from “Soul” playing the piano in the lobby.
