A local favorite is coming to the Disneyland Resort. Great Maple, the Orange County restaurant known for its fried chicken and donuts, is set to open this summer at the new Pixar Place Hotel, giving hotel guests and Disneyland visitors a new spot for comfort food just steps from the parks.
A New Name for Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel
Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel is being transformed into Pixar Place Hotel, a resort hotel themed to the characters and stories of Pixar Animation Studios. The makeover will bring Pixar-inspired décor throughout the property, and Great Maple will be one of the headline additions to its dining lineup.
What Makes Great Maple Special
Great Maple has built a loyal following in Southern California with its upscale take on American comfort food. The restaurant is best known for its fried chicken and donuts, an indulgent pairing that has become a signature dish for brunch fans. Its menus also lean on seasonal ingredients and familiar favorites done with a creative twist, which makes it a natural fit for families looking for a sit-down meal after a long park day.
Bringing in a well-known local restaurant is a notable move for the Disneyland Resort hotels. It gives guests a dining option with its own identity while still being steps away from Downtown Disney and the theme parks.
When Can You Eat There?
Great Maple is expected to open in summer 2023, while the full Pixar Place Hotel transformation will continue to roll out after that. Disney hasn’t shared the full menu or an exact opening date yet, so keep an eye out for more details in the coming months.
It’s been a big year for the Disneyland Resort so far, from the debut of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway to the Disney100 celebration, and a new hotel restaurant is one more reason to plan a visit.
