| (1998 —Present) BACKSTORY: Originally The Emerald Hotel in 1984 and then The Pan Pacific Hotel. Disney purchased the hotel in December 1995 and changed its name to Disneyland Pacific Hotel. As part of the 1998-2001 Disneyland Resort expansion, the hotel changed names again to Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel, branding it to the Paradise Pier area of Disney’s California Adventure Park. Hotel guests at one time had an exclusive entrance to Disney's California Adventure Park, located between the Corn Dog Castle and Souvenir 66 in the Paradise Pier section of the park, but it was closed due to low use in 2004. The area is now the site of the expansion of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Guests may still access the park through the turnstiles located in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, which are officially exclusive to guests of all Disneyland Resort hotels. The hotel is one of the few tall buildings in the Western Hemisphere to have a 13th floor since the original owners were from Japan, where 13 is not considered bad luck.
