Disneyland announced various changes to all 3 of their on-site resorts today, including Grand Californian, Disneyland Hotel, and Pixar Place Hotel. These new features include everything from a new lounge to newly updated rooms!

Napa Rose at Grand Californian will be getting a new look featuring a rustic elegance and will be a tapestry of California’s storied history of wine and winemaking, using natural textures such as reclaimed French oak flooring and columns (a type of wood used to make wine barrels), hand-pinged artisan metals, leathers, deep colors of cabernet, and an eye-catching chandelier inspired by California’s Mission grapevines.

The Disneyland Hotel will unveil an all-new concierge lounge, High Key Club, celebrating the music and sounds of Disneyland park circa 1955.

This stylish oasis in the sky will draw inspiration from the enduring legacy of original and classic sounds at Disneyland park. Celebrating not only music, artists, musicians, and voices, but also unique instruments, bands, foley sounds, and the history of audible magic at the park that Walt Disney brought to life, High Key Club will feature a custom soundtrack showcasing the sounds and songs of the park and will display prominent artifacts.

High Key Club will nearly double the space of the previous club-level lounge in the hotel’s Adventure Tower. It will be a special place for concierge-level guests to watch Disneyland Park fireworks and enjoy music from the show on nights that feature pyrotechnics.

Plans are also underway for the hotel to add a second club-level lounge nearby.

This newly designed, two-story space will celebrate classic California Craftsman design and will be a perfect spot for lounging with a good book, relaxing with a glass of wine or admiring the hotel’s Great Hall lobby below. Continuing the hotel’s forest theme of the Great Hall lobby, the new concierge lounge will be inspired by giant sequoias and will be located high in the “treetops” of the 5th and 6th floors — an “aviary” where club level guests can relax, rest and “nest” in luxury and hospitality.

This space will continue the unique Californian Craftsman design by showcasing columns and arches inspired by the existing lobby architecture, wrought iron branching details, and beautiful hand-crafted tile murals. The flora and fauna will keep with the story of the sequoias.

The lounge will be filled with natural light during the day and a golden glow at sunset from expansive skylights, with a two-story stained-glass door and a curved staircase leading to the mezzanine. This new space is slated for completion in 2026.

Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will begin refreshing all its guest rooms, including the Disney Vacation Club Villas. The décor will complement the rooms’ existing Arts & Crafts motif, yet will add new bold colors across the carpets, upholstery and bedding, with accents inspired by the beautiful California wildflower blooms often found in Impressionistic plein air paintings that helped define the art movement of the Arts and Crafts period and continue to inspire artists today. Most notably, each room will have new artwork that was commissioned from local plein air painters.

This summer, Pixar Place Hotel will add two new, two-bedroom themed premium suites, opening new doors into the worlds of Pixar Animation Studio’s “Coco” and “The Incredibles.”

The Coco Suite, with Oaxacan-style architecture, will feature terracotta tiling, Mexican artisan quilted and woven pieces, a fireplace, unique handcrafted wooden furniture, and thoughtful touches of hand-painted art. The Coco Suite is inspired by the film’s Rivera family hacienda with many family photos and mementos.

The Incredibles Suite will have a mid-century design with a “spy-fi” twist. In “Incredibles 2,” DevTech businessman and Super fan Winston Deavor lends his striking home for the Parr family to live. Now he has designed the perfect getaway for the family! The suite includes a primary bedroom for the Parr parents, with a connecting room for Edna Mode designed by Edna herself. Beginning with a hand-scanning prop at the entryway, guests will encounter Super-inspired touches and special effects including a spy phone, hidden messages, a secret door and other surprises!

These themed suites are in addition to the hotel’s several other room types including standard rooms and one, two and three-bedroom suites to accommodate various family travel needs.
