The Paradise Pier Hotel, currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation, has received a fresh dose of enchantment in the form of a rooftop water park inspired by beloved characters like Nemo, Dory, and Crush from the “Finding Nemo” animated film franchise.
Starting August 1, guests of the Pixar Place Hotel will have the pleasure of enjoying the all-new Finding Nemo water play area. This addition is part of an ongoing transformation of the Paradise Pier Hotel, which is anticipated to reach its completion by this winter.
The revitalized rooftop pool space will introduce a compact yet exciting water park, complete with the delightful Pixel Pool, the impressive 186-foot-long Crush’s Surfin’ Slide, and the captivating Nemo’s Cove splash pad featuring the endearing Hank, the septopus.
Hank, who possesses remarkable camouflage abilities and a preference for solitude, takes on the role of an escape artist in “Finding Dory.” This septopus, or seven-tentacled octopus, is brought to life through the voice of “Modern Family” actor Ed O’Neill.
Promoted as an idyllic vantage point for experiencing the Disneyland fireworks, the new hotel pool deck will feature fire pits inspired by iconic Pixar characters.
An outdoor deck designed with families in mind will showcase interactive games based on themes from popular Pixar short films like “La Luna,” “Bao,” “For the Birds,” and “Burrow.”
While the construction on the 15-story Paradise Pier Hotel continues without interruption, the Pixar-themed metamorphosis, including dedicated areas for The Incredibles, Toy Story, and Inside Out, is slated to continue throughout the year.
According to Disneyland officials, this renovation is a substantial investment reaching tens of millions of dollars, aiming to completely transform the hotel’s rooms, swimming pool, lobby, and exterior into a reimagined wonderland.
