The second hotel to join the DISNEYLAND Resort family was the DISNEYLAND Pacific Hotel. Ideally located right next to the DISNEYLAND Hotel, it originally opened as the Emerald Hotel, then changed ownership and became the Pan Pacific Hotel in the late 1980's. When it became a Disney hotel it became the DISNEYLAND Pacific Hotel.
In 2001, the hotel was extensively remodeled inside and out to become Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel to match the theme of the new Disney California Adventure Park.
