Disneyland Hotel

Best visit to Disneyland I've ever had. Hotel cast were all helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Food was very good, although a bit pricey. Room was in great condition and so nice to be able to walk to the parks. Pools hot tubs and slides were super..fun, large, and well maintained. The entire place sparkled..so clean! Very relaxing!

The Disney Hotel was absolutely stunning! The staff were very welcoming and informative. The room was perfectly clean and stocked. My favorite part was the landscaping and beautiful scenery of trees and the pools. I will definitely return but this time with my family. I was on a business trip and didn’t get into the water but most definitely plan to do so on my next visit.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Disneyland hotel. Very convenient to get back and forth to the parks. We loved that the monorail was super close so we could hop on and off to take mid-day breaks from the park. The pool was my kids favorite and the yard games that they had outside of our building were a big hit too. The rooms were very clean and nice and accommodated our family of four. The staff was very delightful and our check in and out was very fast and easy.

Rooms are a bit small but staff and experience is great. We unfortunately had a room next to a screaming baby that seemed to enjoy waking everyone up at 4am... staff offered to move us but we decided to just use earplugs 😅 Otherwise great experience and 30 minute early access to Disneyland parks. Plus they have a great pool.

Amazing experience. The monorail is right outside the hotel entrance and the front gate is a short walk away. Service is amazing. The beds were super comfortable. The rooms were upscale and modern with subtle Disney accents. Worth every penny to stay in the resort area.

Currently staying 5 nights at the Disneyland Hotel Resort Villas and the experience has been lovely. We usually stay at the Grand Californian but thought we would try something different. While this hotel is further from the park entrance than the Grand you can hop on the monorail which takes you right into Disneyland Tomorrowland, or cut through the Grand to get to California. If you have little kids I highly recommend this hotel for the ambience and pool! Its fabulous! We also love the Villas and beds are super comfortable! Personally Im a fan of the California Grand for the chill relaxing vibes which are a must after a long day at the park but our 16 year old loves this hotel for the non stop Disney magic. Thats our favourite part of staying on property is you never leave the magic. The Palm Breeze Bar is also a nice play to have a little nightcap and we feel the dining options here are better than the Grand. We also did room service and the meal was the best we had all week! Disney is definitely not known for its good food so it was a joy to have a healthy reasonably priced breakfast (by Disney standards haha) You really cannot go wrong with this hotel or the Grand. All just depends on your preference. And for those who complain its a long walk from the park its literally at the end of Downtown Disney and a fun walk home with your family! Security lines also a-lot shorter than at the Grand too!

I had an excellent stay at the Disneyland Hotel for my first time at Disneyland. This hotel charmed me from the get-go: the parking attendants were warm, friendly, and helpful; I had no trouble figuring out where to park. The front desk attendant immediately waved me over when I entered the lobby and the gentleman helping me was fantastic; without asking he gave me physical room keys, a paper map of the hotel, paper maps of both parks, AND surprised me with a wearable button that said "First Visit"! I left my mom in the lobby for no more than 3 minutes and a cast member had already come over and made sure she wasn't lost or needed assistance. The hotel and the rooms are clean and full of thoughtful little touches that celebrate the history of Disneyland. Guests are provided bathroom amenities above the usual findings - even toothbrushes and toothpaste were provided! Getting to the park was easy and upon check-out, the front desk let me keep my room key as a souvenir. Every cast member had a smile, a friendly greeting, and many had little tips to make our stay easier. I loved every second of my stay at Disneyland and cannot wait to return. The Disneyland Resort in general has customer experience figured out.

This is a grand destination spot that is super family friendly, but also ideal for the Disney enthusiast. The shops, the eateries, the grand pools with water slides and the lush grounds all exemplify a wonderful and relaxing vacation the way only Disney knows how. Our room was in one of 4 hotel towers and was spacious with a large bathroom and vanity located outside. Comfy and fun stay for sure... It doesn't hurt that Disneyland resort is next door.

Disneyland Hotel would make Walt Disney proud; they do it right. From the moment we arrived to the time we left our stay at the Disneyland hotel was nothing short of magical. This was our kids (1&2) first time to Disneyland and we wanted to make it special (and get naps in), boy was it special! When we arrived the bellmen greeted us and took our overpacked luggage with ease off our hands to bring up later. We then met Vanessa at the front desk and were given our room keys and all the info we needed and headed to our room... Amazing doesn't even begin describe our family suite. The room is decorated with warmth, class, and magical touches that let you know you're in mickeys domain but not too loudly. There are subtle and sweet Mickey touches around that bring delight to all of us; the best part was our headboard that lit up and played "wish upon a star"...wow, what a way to end your day. The room boasted vibrant shades of blues and gold and was very spacious with 2 balconies that had a view of the Matterhorn, pool, and fireworks. We also had a Kitchenette that was perfect for making breakfast and late night snackies! Everything Disney does is detailed and flawless. Housekeeping are like a bunch of wonderful fairy godmothers that come when you don't know it that magically make your room sparkle and leave special treats around; how lovely! The hotel has multiple towers that each have a theme (ours was adventure tower), they have a super fun pool with slides and a splash pad for the littles, a state of the art gym for the hard core fitness people who don't get enough steps in at Disneyland, several dining options (Goofy's kitchen and Trader Sam's are a must visit), and lots of fun recreational activities and events throughout the resort. The Disneyland hotel is pricey, but that's a given; the memories and overall experience cannot be matched anywhere else. The details make all the difference and Disney knows how to perfect every little one. We will be back...soon!

Our family had an exceptional experience staying here! The convenience of being able to take breaks with our little ones from the theme parks was invaluable, and the proximity to Downtown Disney made everything so much easier. The pool and surrounding amenities were fantastic, creating a truly unforgettable experience that has become a core memory for our family. The property was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to return for another wonderful stay!

The hotel itself is a strong 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to a 4 because location, location, location. Secondly, you can't beat the convenience of getting into Disneyland 30-minutes before the general public. My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Disneyland hotel on our recent trip. My husband had stayed at Disneyland Hotel once before, but it was everyone else's first time. First impression of the hotel was that it's dated. The rooms were clean and spacious but a bit rundown. When we got back late to the hotel after leaving Disneyland at midnight, I noticed that the hotel lobby smelled musty. That being said, I did have a comfortable stay. Overall customer service was great. All staff members were friendly and helpful, but a sppecial shout out goes to Cast Member, Seth, who helped us check-in. He was genuinely excited for us being at the hotel for the first time, and he provided useful tips to not only get into the park but securing a reasonable line in the queue to get on Rise of the Resistance.

The family and I spent one night at the Disneyland hotel. We received Disneyland Park tickets as a Christmas gift and decided to splurge. Checking in was easy. The Disneyland app is AMAZING. The day before our arrival I completed the online check-in process. I entered our arrival time(7 a.m.) and the number of vehicles that will be parked and then waited for the text letting me know our room was ready. Meanwhile, we took the short stroll through Downtown Disney to Disneyland. Around noon I got a text that our room was ready. Room 2394, 5th Floor, Frontier Tower. Frankly, I was shocked. I wasn't expecting to check-in until 3 at the earliest. After riding Tiana's Bayou Adventure, we made our way back to the hotel and on to the Frontier Tower. The app is your room key. You hold your phone up to the door and it makes a magical Disney-esque sound that never got old. I booked a room with two beds and a standard view. Room 2349 had anything but a standard view. It had a large picture window that looked over the center of the hotel complex that included the pools and Sam's Tiki Bar. The room was larger than I expected. It had a couch and a small well appointed work area. The bathroom was a decent size. The Mickey hands wall sconces were a great touch. Of course, the decor screamed Disney. Complete with a picture of Uncle Walt and a beautiful wood headboard that had an image of Sleeping Beauty's Castle carved into it and the tv played When You Wish Upon a Star whenever it was on the "home" menu. I would expect nothing less from Disney. The beds were comfortable. Each had four pillows. Two that were soft and two that were like rocks. The three of us slept pretty good but we all experienced strange dreams. Maybe too much visual and mental stimulation from Disneyland? Our only negative experience was with room service. We placed an order for a pizza and chocolate lava cake around 8:30 and were told it would be 75 minutes. That window came and no food arrived. We then called and cancelled the pizza order. A short time later we received a call from room service that Amber was on her way with the lava cake. Thirty minutes went by before she arrived. I'm just going to assume room service was busy because it was that time of year but 2 hours is a bit much to be waiting for room service. We've stayed in larger hotels in Las Vegas and gotten our food within 20 minutes of ordering.

Party of 5, 12/8-11 Customer service at front desk and valet area were great. Room was big enough for 5. Clean, well stocked. House keeping was great.

I booked a one night stay for my birthday weekend trip several months in advance. It was pricey, and we even picked the "cheapest" option of the rooms which was about $600 for the nightly rate not including service fees and tax. It was for the Duo Studio room in the Villas. I checked in early at 6:30am so I could take advantage of the 30 minute early entry into Disneyland. Our room was ready by 11am. I had no issues with finding parking upon checking in so early and the front desk was very helpful and friendly. Parking was an extra fee, $40 per night for self-parking. I stayed at the Disneyland Hotel 10 years ago in the standard hotel rooms. The standard rooms honestly look outdated compared to where I stayed in recently. The Duo studio room was actually really gorgeous and well thought out. It had enough Disney touches where it felt magical but it maintained a modern and spacious layout. I liked that it had a wall pullout bed. You could sleep 4 people in the room but because it was only my husband and me, it was our napping area for when we were dirty from the park but wanted to rest without dirtying the actual bed. The bathroom was clean and came with full shower toiletry amenities. The toilet had its own separate sliding door for privacy. The bed was comfy with clean white sheets. The room also included a mini kitchen area with a sink, microwave, mini fridge, and pantry of dishware. There was also a flat screen TV that welcomed us in as soon as we arrived. Let's talk about the early entry perk which is the main reason to stay at a Disneyland hotel. Firstly, early entry is alternated between both parks so be sure to check which park it is for you the day you plan on going. They could and should make early entry more convenient for hotel guests for the price paid. By 6:45am, there was a long line already at security into the downtown Disney entrance which is the closest security entry to the hotel. We lined up with the general guests and fast walked to the turnstile gates for Disneyland which also had a very long line. There is no separate line for hotel guests. Keep in mind, there are security entry points closer to the gates compared to the ones you would come from the Disneyland Hotel. So those park guests will be able to line up first at the turnstile gates if all security checkpoints let everyone in at the same time. They did not start allowing guests into park until 7:20am. Early entry is at 7:30am. Luckily we made it to the early entry spot by Tomorrowland on time by 7:27am but if we had been any later literally by a few minutes, we would have missed taking full advantage of it. We were able to fit in 4 fantasyland rides within that 30 minutes which was nice. But oh man, it was a mad rush and I would not do it again for the sheer stress of it. I'm short and there's only so much fast walking I can do before it's in vain. To remedy this, they should either make a separate entry point for both security and the gates for hotel guests OR just bring back the one hour early entry from pre-COVID times. Also a con, you would think that the Disneyland Hotel has better walking access to the park but it really doesn't. Having to trek from the end of Downtown Disney all the way to the gates is longer than it seems! I stayed at a Marriott hotel on harbor blvd before and it seemed much better especially since the closest security entry for that one spits you out closer to the park gates. Overall, I loved the Villa rooms! I love the hotel itself. But honestly, unless you're going to frequent Downtown Disney's restaurants/stores, Trader Sam's, or Goofy's Kitchen a lot, there is a better priced hotel out there that will be more convenient for you and your group.

We just checked into the Disneyland Hotel Villas in Anaheim, CA. We're DVC members, own four Disney timeshares and this is our first time staying here. Bad bad bad!!! My wife went to check in at the front desk, employees standing around talking with each other, no other guest there and no one helped or acknowledged her for about five minutes. Really?!? We got to our room and tried to call the bell desk to get our luggage. The girl answered "hello?". Is that how Disney teach you how to answer your phone?!? Shouldn't it be, hello this is the Disneyland Hotel Bell Desk. We asked for the Villas bell desk and we get transferred to the California Grand hotel. Really?!? Your DVC room does NOT have a washer and dryer. I seen a sign outside of the tower pointing to a laundry room. Not all was bad that's why I gave them a two star. My wife called the front desk manager Yvette and she was very understanding and helpful. When we arrived the valet and bell person was very friendly and nice. The bell person Ibee who brought up our luggage was excellent. If you're a DVC member and thinking of buying the new Villas in Anaheim? Think really hard. You want a truly an amazing experience? Buy Aulani in Hawaii. Their cast members are all well trained and friendly!

We love the Disneyland Hotel, it's the OG and has such a rich histrory. Literally magical from the moment you step through the doors. Check-in was quick and the front desk was helpful and got us a room in the tower we wanted. Plenty of seating sit and gather your party before heading out. A kids seating are with a TV playing Disney classics and even huge teacup chairs for the adults. There is lots to choose from to grab a drink or bite to eat from the Coffee House to Goody's Kitchen, The new Enchanted Lounge or my personal favorite Trader Sam's and Tangaroa Terrace. The pool is awesome, so much fun with the monorail slides. Great for the family or just a night/weekend getaway!

I don't live too far from Disneyland, but occasionally like to stay the night most of the Disney resort/hotels are all very accommodating. Just one is no exception. The rooms are always decent size very clean with comfortable bed. They have a variety of gift shops and pools and restaurants close by.

I spent a full day here getting ready for the runDisney 5K. Disney holds the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at the Disneyland Hotel and you have to stop by here to pick up your racing bib and t-shirt. I enjoyed the Disney themed decorations, paintings, eateries and the gift shop while we were here at the hotel. It was Disney's one hundredth year as a company and they had "Disney 100" decorations up everywhere. There is an old Autopia car in the lobby area that you can get a photo in. The expo was really crowded, so we ended up grabbing food here at the hotel before heading over to Downtown Disney. They had a snack area set up where we were able to grab some Mickey Pretzels. We then got coffee at the Coffee House and lunch at Goofy's Kitchen. There is a lot to do and see here at the Disneyland Hotel. The Disneyland Hotel opened around the same time as Disneyland's grand opening in 1955 and was the first hotel to bear the Disney name. Since Disney acquired the hotel in the late 80's, it has gone through several renovations. The Disneyland Hotel has over nine hundred rooms and is walking distance to Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney. For recreation, Disneyland Hotel has a pool with cabanas and a fitness center. If you are hungry, there are a number of places to eat here inside the hotel or you can walk over to the Downtown Disney district.

I am huge Disney fan and this was my first time staying at the hotel due to the costly price tag for a night stay but this year my husband surprised me with two nights at the hotel. I have to say the cute sprinkled touches of Disney around the room was cute but I thought it was a little outdated. I think it's crazy to charge $40 a night to park at the hotel. I mean I have the inspired pass, which includes the parking so I think if you have that pass, your parking should be a part of that hotel parking too. The staff were so friendly and nice. Carlos greeted us and assisted us when we walked into the lobby. Very nice and helpful he was. Rudy was the front desk employee who checked us in. We did book a 2 queen room but since the demand of guest they had they gave us a king room since there was just 2 of us. (I wish they would disclose that when making a reservation). I love to stretch out and have my own bed for a few nights, knowning I'm going to be exhausted walking both parks for 2 days. Plus we didn't get the view we wanted either. That was a REAL bummer. However, Rudy understood we were disappointed and helped us the best we could. Which we truly appreciate. If there is a next time I get to stay at the hotel I would love to have a day to really enjoy myself in the amenities they have like the pool and the bar right outside it. Our view of the pool at night was beautiful though. Walking to the parks we found to just go through downtown Disney was easier and catch the monorail that took you inside the park and dropped you off right at finding Nemo, but it is far away from everything you want to do, so you will be walking a bit for you get to the entrance of either park. We had a chance to visit the coffee shop right outside the hotel for coffee and snacks. The bagel was SO good and the coffee was pretty tasty too. They had a lot of options to choose from if you wanted something small and different then all the other snacks around the parks.

Great luxury hotel if you're staying at the DVC tower. The rooms are spectacular and modern. The shower is fantastic and the beds are super comfortable. The DVC pool has a cute Mickey Splash Pad! You definitely are paying for the convenience of how close it is to Downtown Disney. The customer service is wonderful here. Definitely try the Dole Whip at the bar by the pools!

Water is slow. Service is a miss. The only positive thing is it's close to the parks:

Came for a wedding and stayed the night, so this review talks about my experience as a hotel guest and wedding guest. The hotel is beautiful and was on my mom's bucket list to stay at. We stayed at a standard two queen room. Check-in was normally 4pm, but the wedding I had was starting at 4, so I did request a much earlier check-in, but it wasn't ready by 1:30 either, so I went to the front desk which was packed since it was Christmas time. They got us a room right away. Parking was a bit far and there is only one self-parking lot. We stayed in frontier land and since we were in a rush to get ready for the wedding, we just rolled all our luggage from the parking lot to our tower which was at the opposite side of the hotel (which included going through the front lobby building and rolling by the pool area and bar). In reality, I would have used the bell service if we weren't pressed for time. There are some touches of Disney, but the headboard lighting up and playing a classic Disney song was a nice touch. Definitely take a picture in the tea cup chairs! Would I stay again? Maybe not because of the price, but I would consider staying at a different hotel if we could. The wedding was beautifully put together at the Rose Garden for the ceremony and cocktail hour and the dinner reception in the conference center. There were so many disney touches in the ceremony and in the reception. The decor was beautiful and I loved seeing Mickey and Minnie making an appearance. The food was amazing, I couldn't eat it all. My favorite were the midnight snacks: ice cream with churros and a pretzel with mustard. One thing to keep in mind is all the music has to be radio edit. Overall if I was going to attend a wedding here, I would definitely enjoy it.

I'm surprised of the average rating for this hotel. We had the best experience. The front desk reception lady (Claire, I think was her name) was super helpful and sweet. The hotel had everything you needed from a coffee shop, Disney shops, and restaurants. The room has very cute decor and very clean. Anytime we walked by a cast member, they greeted you with a smile. Location is on site so you step outside and you're at DTD. Parking is easy and convenient. Highly recommended and will definitely come back.

I came for a conference and invited the family. Pros: 1) loved the Disney atmosphere. We had brunch at Storytellers Cafe and enjoyed meeting all the characters. We did not go to Goofy's kitchen. 2) loved the pools and slides. The monorail slide was closed for refurbishment so we had access to the slides at Pixar Place and Grand Californian. My 4 year old spent all day at the pools and loved it. 3) loved the customer service from the cast members Cons: 1) room needs refreshment as it's dated and the furniture is scratched. This is fine for a regular hotel but not for disney prices. 2) food is good but pricey 3) convention area needs refreshment also- it's very dated with 80s colors. Disney can certainly afford to update it and bring it into the 21st century so there is no excuse.

Love this hotel . The convenience of the hotel being right by downtown Disney district where all the shops and restaurants are is the best . And the fact you can catch the monorail straight into the park and skip the front lines is just a bonus . The hotel is nicely decorated and has spacious rooms . The bell hops are fast and room service is fast and every employee is so nice . If you go to Disneyland staying here is a must .

Stayed in a premium room (view of the pool). The standard room (which I've stayed before) was actually better if you want to view the fireworks. the main benefit for staying there is magic morning (30 min early admission into DL park). This is the 2nd time when, upon entering, the main rides where the magic morning serves as the higher benefit (Peter pan, for example) were closed/out of service). The hotel is a good location, central to the park. However, the rooms are not worth the price if you account for all else (magic morning not being worthwhile in our case, cost of parking, added fees at the end). When I visit in the future, i plan to stay at an off DL property hotel as the quality is likely the same, if not greater, for a way more affordable price.

I've stayed at this hotel several times. This hotel is my favorite in terms of continuing the Disney magic. This hotel captures the essence of the Disney parks. From the magical light up beds that play music while you sleep. To the Mickey Mouse details throughout the rooms. Prices are kind of high but worth it to be walking distance to the parks and Downtown Disney. The service is always great and the staff have always been friendly. Great customer service. 100% recommend staying here at least once, but I am sure you will return time after time.

This is a week long stay written from a true Disney fan who gains nothing from being truthful. The 5night stay on Conceirge is a waste of money. The cost was over $4k. I want to be clear, this was written not because I am bitter, but that we went with such high hopes for a week long trip. Better off picking up snacks and saving yourself the $250+ additional per night. The service provided by the conceirge staff is also null and void. They cannot assist what you cannot do yourself (and you will be told to use your app to find reservations since they have zero control). Rooms being cleaned daily and turn down... nope. You will hear that they fell short of your expectations and they Apologize. No, these are the expectations that Disney put forth being in concerige. The special $20k coffee machine in conceirge? It was down 4/6 days of our trip. (FYI a venti Starbucks latte at their downtown Disney was $7.65.... So yeah there is a sticker shock to add to this nonsense), And the hot appetizers they offered? They were (this never changed) mushroom tart, mini shrimp eggrolls and thimble sized cuban bites. Snacks were kettle chips, basic veggies, trail mix, fruit spears, and desserts straight out of a box. Seriously save your money and go with a regular room. Beverages are beer wine and sodas. No cordials (but they aren't listed so no complaints). We don't drink so I can't say what the choices are. So good luck on your choices, do Disneyland ...Or even better, go to WDW in Orlando. Because we heard how they "aren't that park" (which we never mentioned or compared them too).

This was back in June 2024 but as we approach our next trip I want to share our last experience!! Arrival: Brennan was such a welcoming presence to see when we arrived and caught up with us as we checked in as we met him last year and he was such a delight!! Departure: Joel and Matthew made the end of our trip great!! We had a rough time with our ride share and they saw us waiting way too long to get our ride. They stepped up and offered to take us in the company vehicle as we would not make our flight if we booked with another company as the wait time would be way too long. My family and I can't wait to be back!! Thank you for the magical experience

Thank you Disneyland Hotel for making our stay so very magical. We booked a family trip for my sons 2nd birthday and it was well worth the money we spent. We actually booked to stay at the villas (whixh was not open yet at the time of booking) so we were very excited. Upon the day of arrival, we checked in online and it was a breeze. We ended up hanging our at Downtown Disney before the room was ready. The room itself was a bit smaller than inagined, but was lovely inside and had a large balcony! We ended up using the pool and had a great time. We also had a wonderful dinner at Goofy's Kitchen which topped off our stay. We did go to Disneyland the following day, but that is its own review.... This was a core memory for my family and I. Thank you Disneyland Hotel!!!

Thanks to the hubs and a conference he had to attend, the kid and I were able to stay at the Disneyland Hotel and enjoy the parks. The hotel was the best part of the trip! I LOVED how staying here guaranteed early entry! You get an hour head start before EVERYONE else. The kid and I rode all the rides a CA Adventure by 2PM.. with the Genie pass of course! Early entry and not having to wait an hour for rides was everything! We were able to get back to the hotel and enjoy the pool which had slides, 3-4 different pools, 2 splash pads, 2 hot tubs, life guards were on deck ensuring your kids don't drown, food was delivered to you upon order, so you don't have to leave your cabana. The pool even provides FREE swim diapers and life vests for the water babies that can't swim. It was perfect! They have a two restaurants on site, a café, and a lounge that served really great drinks. Staff were incredibly helpful. There were two stores in the Fantasy Tower. There are several towers located on this property. We happened to stay in the Fantasy Tower. The room was big, included 2 queens, clean, and I loved how the decor was Disney inspired. I loved this hotel! Would definitely be back because of how conveniently located it was to the parks.

An amazing Disney stay. We have stayed at the Grand Californian previously so obviously big shoes to fill. While I can say the style of the Grand Californian has my heart the function of Disneyland Hotel has me interested in returning for more. The Grand Californian is far more expensive by a long shot but once you stay here it makes you ask why? Yes, the Grand Californian is connected to the DCA park but where does that leave you on days you're spending in Disneyland (the obviously better park). It leaves you with a bad security line is the answer. There was only two people searching bags for a very very very long line of people coming from the hotel. For the Disneyland Hotel you have about six lanes of bag search available to enter Downtown Disney, yes is it a bit longer of a walk but I'd rather get through the line fast and walk. To me ease of reaching the parks in the early morning is key. The first hour or two, including early entry is where you get most of your rides done. Being able to get in line as fast as possible is key. So Disneyland Hotel offers a far easier access to the park waiting lines. The Disneyland hotel is not without it's own theming, while it is not over the top it is an ode to the classic retro Disneyland. The lobby has adorable tea cup seats and the main lobby as well as the tower lobbies have a unique scent that really pulls everything together. The pools are large and they have a beautiful array of greenery around them, as well as Trader Sam's tiki bar which is a must visit! Especially sitting inside, even if you can't sit inside I recommend using the bathroom so you can see how cool it is. The waiters there are super fun, certain drinks cause certain reactions in the bar not only in the 'window' but lighting and sounds as well. You can order food from Tangaroa Terrace at Trader Sam's or you can go over to the side it's on and order food there as well as dole whip! There is also an awesome monorail slide that really fills the courtyard space between the towers. It sadly was not open when I was there continuing the theme of me never getting to try the hotel slides. The Disneyland Hotel offers three towers, Adventure, Fantasy and Frontier. We were put in the Adventure on the second floor in the first room from the elevator a perfect spot. We had a nice view of the greenery that surrounds Downtown Disney and a view of the line in the mornings so we knew when to send someone down to get in line. This tower had great views no matter the room. Our room was also next to the elevator so it was super quick getting back to our room compared. The rooms have the perfect amount of Disney magic, hidden mickey's in the shower tiles and lamps, mickey hands holding lighting, mickey shaped faucet handles. But the best part is the headboard that lights up and plays a music box version of 'A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes' And of course the staff as always with Disney is top notch from the people in the lobby, in the shops, in the restaurants, and in house keeping. Along with Tangaroa Terrance and Trader Sam's there is Goofy's Kitchen, Palm Breeze Bar and the Lounge on hotel property for food and drinks. There is also a coffee bar open in the morning. Overall a great stay, would definitely love to stay here again.

What a magical place! My company had their award ceremony here so we got to stay overnight and enjoyed Disneyland. The rooms are so nice and clean. The beds and comforters were like sleeping on a cloud. I got super drunk here not gonna lie. The only thing I did not like was the trader Sam's restaurant where we got breakfast. The breakfast was not good. But they do make good cocktails in the afternoon. Self Parking is easy Check in Front desk is amazing! Easy walk to Disneyland!

I am officially ruined for staying at non-resort hotels forever...this was an awesome experience and I think everyone should stay at a resort hotel at least once on their lives. That said, if you're looking for 5 star accommodations, this isn't it. The rooms are nice but not spectacular. They're average size and offer the typical amenities of most hotels. It's the Disney magic touches that put it over the top. Like the Disney art, Mickey fixtures and the best part...early park entry. Getting into the park ahead of the majority of the crowd helped immensely. We got right on a ride that can have up to an hour long wait! And while the rooms may be on the average side, the grounds of the hotel are awesome...the pools, the water slide, the tiki bar. There was even an outdoor fireplace with seating so you could just hang out and relax with a drink after an exhausting day at the park. We did have a slight hiccup with plumbing-our bathroom sink was backing up. But I called the front desk and someone was sent up in less than a 1/2 hour. Another thing to note is that parking is not free which I though was kind of ridiculous considering how much we paid to stay there but what're you going to do? The bottom line-would I stay here again? Heck yes!

We stayed here for a day to celebrate a friend's birthday, and didn't even leave the hotel because we wanted to fully enjoy the amenities, especially since we booked a room on the Club Level. From check-in to check-out, everything was absolutely amazing. We made it a habit to pop in throughout the day for drinks and snacks. The dinner and breakfast were definitely highlights, and it was never too crowded; we always found a table. At breakfast, you can even request items that aren't on the buffet, like Disney waffles and bacon. And if you are not in the park I would definitely watch the fireworks from here unless you are staying at the one the themed rooms because they sync the music with them. The swimming pool, slides, and splash area were fun and clean. Surprisingly, the pool didn't have that overpowering chlorine smell, which was a nice touch. They also had water stations conveniently placed around the area to help you stay hydrated, along with cast members ready to take your orders. The staff were incredibly accommodating. One magical touch was the headboard in the room lighting up and playing a special Disney tune--I'll let you guess which one! Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

A Magical Stay at Disneyland Hotel Adventure Tower! We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Disneyland Hotel in the Adventure Tower, and it was nothing short of a dream come true! The Adventure Tower boasts breathtaking views and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, with all the amenities you'd expect from a top-tier hotel. The attention to detail in the decor truly makes you feel like you're embarking on an exciting expedition. After a thrilling night at the Oogie Boogie Bash, we were delighted to find that room service was available. The menu had a fantastic selection, and we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious dinner. The food arrived promptly and was still piping hot. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and the portion sizes were just right. The staff at Disneyland Hotel were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. I wish I could've captured more pictures, but we spent our stay so caught up in the moment that it just slipped our mind! Overall, our stay at the Disneyland Hotel was a magical adventure from start to finish. We can't wait to return and relive the enchantment all over again!

For the price, I expected more... There's no covered parking and spaces are kinda compact which doesn't make sense having little kiddos trying to get in and out of cars. Check in was pretty easy, you're greeted right away and brought to the check in area. Our room was in the Frontier tower, which was a bit of a walk from the main building, we were near the pool though which was nice. The pool is heated and open until 8, towels are provided in the pool area and there's plenty of chairs however the slide closes before the pool so take note of that. Back to our tower, there is a small room with vending machines and a microwave but IMO they should have a small gift shop with things you forgot while traveling and things for the little ones like bathing suits and pjs etc. There was one area for elevators which came pretty quickly. Our room was close to the ice machine so that was nice. The sink was outside of where the restroom was which was ok but also they should have 2 sinks for convenience. The tub was nice but the water pressure fluctuated when I was showering. The toilet was too loud for my niece and scared her. Also there was no step for the kiddos to wash their hands too, again shouldn't this hotel be family friendly? Our room had a small desk, a coffee maker, a fridge, and obviously a tv, phone, and alarm clock. No microwave though which I thought they should have. The headboard had light up fireworks which was a really cool touch. Ok the bed: the bed was NOT comfortable. It was lumpy and the pillows were either flat or lumpy as well. Overall, you're paying for convenience of being close by Downtown Disney. This hotel is closer to the Monorail that takes you straight into Disneyland's Tomorrowland but if you have tickets to DCA, you have to walk through Downtown Disney which does have a Starbucks so get your coffee fix and enjoy the parks!

First things first, you will always pay more to stay on property. Disneyland Hotel in the Frontier tower was great, and felt like there were lots of Disney touches. I personally prefer this hotel over Grand Californian as the standard room felt like it had more Disney details, and also had better eateries on the hotel property (separate reviews for those). If staying here, the room service is exceptional and a great idea for a lazy lay in for the day you check out of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the veggie egg white skillet was! Honestly, the best breakfast I have had at any hotel on property or even within the parks itself! The service was extremely friendly, and loved being able to lounge and enjoy. Overall, this stay was magical and if you can afford to stay on property then I would do it!

WOW. This hotel surprised me! It was way better than I imagined it would be. This is a very clean and fun hotel. Don't get fooled by the fact that it's the original hotel from the 60s cause they've pretty much reimagined and refurbished the hotel from the ground up. While they kept a 60s retro look to much of the buildings, I would describe it more as a modern-retro look & feel. This was my first stay at this hotel since my previous visits were at the Grand Californian. I stayed in one of the standard club level rooms. As a result, you get a hotel staff member to greet you and take you to your room. Not sure if that's standard or part of the club level perks but I loved it regardless! The room was designed really nice but was small. That might be because I got one king sized bed instead of two. Or maybe cause I got a standard room? Or maybe cause I was staying in the Adventure tower which was the original hotel when Disneyland was built. Hard to say but between the small size and the low water pressure, those really the only two complaints I have. Everything else was great. The e-ticket club was also great. It's a fun place to chill and relax. You can get snacks throughout the day or breakfast in the morning. While it's limited to coffee, bagels, cereal, fruit and cream cheese and lox/salmon, it's a nice way to get a small breakfast before heading out. Did I mention they have a huge fridge that's fully stocked with soda & juice? There's also a front desk staff in the club to help with & answer any and all questions or requests you might have. In terms of outside the hotel, there's what looks like a really fun pool with life guards and a Tiki Bar called "Trader Sam's". This bar is DEFINITELY worth visiting if you have the time! There's an outside bar and an inside bar. The inside bar is quite small actually. The building makes it seem like it's bigger than it is but it's a lot of fun with great drinks. The food is VERY limited and just ok. You can get better food in Downtown Disney. Overall, this is a fun hotel worth visiting and if you're into Disney history, stay in the Adventure Tower as that is the original Disneyland Hotel (just refurbished).

The Disneyland Hotel is classic & their staff is fabulous! Honestly, I've traveled a lot & the staff here just always make me smile just a bit more. The hotel doesn't have the room size or amenities that many other local hotels offer. The cost is higher to stay here, but the close proximity to the park / downtown Disney helps. The storybook themes around the hotel leave you with those good memories.

This was my second time staying at the Disneyland hotel and it was still worth it. Plus: -Close to the parks -Early entry (you're able to be in the parks 30 minutes earlier- which doesn't seem like a lot of time but we knocked out 5 rides). - monorail (goes right to the hotel from the parks). - if you book it as a package, you get a free lanyard and special pin from pin traders - the decorations - there is nothing more magical than Disney at Christmas time Cons: - the pool is only open until 8pm- would've liked it to be longer - you have to ask for them to clean the room (didn't do it automatically). Tips: - don't take monorail for early entry- it's 15 minutes round trip so if you don't make the first one then you miss some of your entry time - use mobile order- I cannot stress this enough. It saves so much time.

I love the Disneyland hotel because of the ambience, their statues everywhere, pretty waterfalls, and excellent service.

We came to celebrate! We stayed September 17-20, 2023 for my oldest daughters 10th birthday! We were eager to return to Disneyland and we wanted to stay close enough to get rest in a hotel room in between visiting Disneyland. This Disneyland Hotel is located at the end of DTD. When you enter the parking area you have to stop at the kiosk and let them know the last name for your reservation. Our check in was quick at the front desk. We stayed in the Fantasy Tower. Our room had 2 queen beds and a nice bathroom. We had a Standard View overlooking the parking lot. Not exciting, but it was okay since we weren't spending a lot of time in the room. We arrived earlier than check in time, but we were able to Self Park since we would be checking in later that day. We've stayed here before. The room was nice. It has a beautiful wooden headboard with a Disney light up firework scene. It played, "When You Wish Upon a Star" and lit up when turned on. There was plenty of room under the beds to put our suitcases. We paid $2,011 for 3 nights. We love the convenience of the Disneyland hotel resorts! We also got on the monorail that was closest to the resort in order to get into Disneyland. There's a big store and a smaller convenience store right by the entrance/ elevator area. The pools are straight to the back. There's restaurants and a little cafe place and plenty of outdoor seating. We also happen to send out postcards and the front desk will add complimentary postage for guest and mail them out. Heck yes! My girls enjoyed the pools, hot tub and water slides. The main pool was closed because they were fixing a life guard seat. We kept getting told it would open soon, but it didn't. Boo! Since we were celebrating a birthday we also purchased "Minnie's Magical Birthday Celebration" package. It included a cool hotel birthday door sign, Mylar balloons, a basket, a Disney birthday pin, a Minnie Mouse plush, a birthday card and some gummies. We received a call the morning it would be delivered to make sure we'd be out of the room for the set up. It was set up on time and my daughter was totally surprised and happy when we returned to the room to see it! The cost was $199. We will definitely return and enjoy the Disneyland Hotel another time!

Yes it's expensive. But IF you are a Disney fan and you care about that bubble feeling, it's worth every penny. We were upgraded from a regular view standard room to a premium view standard room in the Adventure tower and could see downtown Disney and then fireworks and monorail clearly from our room. Being able to walk out of your room and hop onto the monorail less than five minutes away is amazing and a huge advantage if you're trying to book your lightning lanes early. The walk to California adventure (and Disneyland park if you don't want to take the monorail) is very pleasant and doable even after a lot of walking in the parks. Service, including bell services, registration, guest services, and housekeeping were perfect. The hotel itself was relatively quiet (the room itself was totally quiet) and not busy (unlike the grand Californian nearby which seems to attract a lot of non-hotel guests). Good amount of on-site dining options. The main on-site quick service is a bit lacking especially for kids and vegetarians, but the coffee shop helps make up for it--it closes at 4pm though. The room itself is LARGE and the beds very comfortable. Plenty of space for our family of five and two weeks worth of luggage (we didn't stay for two weeks. It was a multi leg journey.) good blackout curtains that let us sleep past 8am even with sunrise facing our direction.Lots of whimsical Disney touches if you're a big fan. The bathroom was well laid out with two sinks and a separate toilet area so everyone can get ready at the same time.

What a great hotel! We are very avid Disneyland-goers, and this hotel was by far the best hotel we have stayed at for visiting Disneyland! The location was obviously fantastic, but the price wasn't outrageous either - making it a feasible option for our family to stay when visiting the theme parks. Every detail, from the decor to the hospitality and service, was the same high standard you would expect from Disney. Plus it was so much fun to continue to be fully engulfed in Disney surroundings after leaving the theme parks for the day. The water park was fabulous! My 16 month old had so much fun in the splash pad area, while my 5 year old had a blast on the slides, both pools and hot tubs! The cherry on top was being able to meet some of the Disney characters at Goofy's Kitchen and dining by the tiki torches at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar. 100% recommend to all! We plan on staying at this hotel for all our future trips to Disneyland theme parks!

Where do I start. Do not waste your time, money or energy with Disney. The buffet here is absolutely disgusting. Hard as rock food that tastes like plastic. My 12 year old said hers was better and she wanted to leave 5 minutes into getting there. The store Vanessa!!!! You lied to my daughter to her face on her birthday. You said you would put the sweater in her size aside for her at night off the mannequin.( you couldn't in the day with people walking around) You told us to come back the next morning to pick it up. We came back to pick it up and you sold it. Disneyland grand hotel has staff in the hall waking people up early in the morning when they are cleaning rooms. But only the rooms that are checking out. Not if you are staying... your room doesn't get cleaned. If you have a peanut allergy you can't get room service because Disney really doesn't care about people. Disneyland is an awful place to waste your money. Don't go

It's the OG Disneyland Hotel. It's where you really want to stay. They have the best pool areas that only guests of the Disneyland Hotel can enter. Everyone says, "hey we wanna go to that pool!" The Grand California is a shorter walk into the parks but of course you pay for that. Have fun

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Not worth it one bit. Way too far from the parks. If you have ANY mobility issues you are out of luck. There is no wheelchair or ecv rental down near the hotel. The nearest one is at Disneyland. And don't even try scooterbug. If your ecv from them breaks down you will be screwed until the next day if you're lucky. They will refuse to fix it until the next day. Just save your money and stay off site. That's what I'm gunna do. Never again will I ever stay here.

A must try at least once!! We've stayed at the Grand California Hotel several times but after staying at the Disneyland Hotel for the first time, we're committed to skipping the elegant yet stuffy Grand California for the homey and casual "Disney" feel of the Disneyland Hotel or even the Pixar Pier Hotel since they renovated. Dining options are better in my opinion and so was the staff, every Disneyland Hotel Employee we spoke with had been there for a very very long time and they were all amazingly attentive "Disney" people. We loved it! 10/10

I own a large Dance Studio that does an event at the Disneyland hotel twice a year for a total 14 days per year. So I stay at the Disneyland hotel for up to 14 days per year and have done so for the last decade. I am especially disappointed in the hotel this year not only do they have an app that all of my clients are not able to use for in room purchases because the app glitches but they have people at the front desk specifically a gentleman named Anthony is sending others to the terrace tiki bar to get "printouts" from the manager Jared (which does not exist) Jared was very displeased that Front Desk worker Anthony is sending people there because they don't even have a printer. This fiasco wasted 30 minutes of my life because these people have no idea what's going on. Meanwhile for this trip, the downstairs restrooms and the frontier hotel are not unlocked. They only have one restroom to accommodate the entire hotel and it has only 2 stalls. That is disgusting and completely ridiculous considering that that hotel has another restroom in the lobby that is staying locked. There was a line outside the woman's restroom because one of the stalls of the stalls has been clogged ....

This review is based on attending the runDisney race expo for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend in January. I've never stayed here before, but have been here in their lobby and convention hall area. Race packet pickup was upstairs at the Magic Kingdom Ballroom with the staircase near Goofy's Kitchen. After getting my bib, I headed down the escalator to pick up my race shirts inside the Exhibit Hall. All of the rooms and facilities were kept clean. We were instructed to park at the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure for a reduced cost of $10.

We visited with a party of ten and had booked through a family/friend Disney representative. Fortunately we were all on the same floor and two of the three rooms were connected by a door. It made things easy for our two families to get ready and prepare for our day. The rooms were clean and spacious. We had trouble dealing with the shower knobs but after jimmying it, we were able to get the warm water going. Overall, This Disney Hotel has room for improvement. All three of our rooms did not have working digital clocks. We were unable to read the time because half of the clock was dead or the dials to adjust did not work. The beds were comfy and the rooms service was attentive but I believe if I were to shell out that much money, I'd want to have a fully functional hotel room.

We spent a night here to celebrate our son's 9th birthday and our stay definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff were all so friendly. The pool area was so nice and the water temperature was perfect on a cooler spring day. Our room was very nice and well stocked. It's on the higher end when compared to the Legoland Hotels and the pools make up for the lack of onsite fun activities for the kiddos. Makes sense since they'll most likely prefer to be at the parks. Getting early park access is a nice bonus but it's only a 30 minute headstart with none of the two major rides (Rise of Resistance & Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Train) being available until after park opening of 8am

We had a great time at this hotel for two nights. We stayed here for a conference and really enjoyed the location, décor, pool, and history! The rooms were clean and of course Disney themed, the ambiance is great, and the parking is straightforward too! The main benefit is definitely the convenience to get to the parks (though one day the Monorail was down in the morning), including the ability to come back to your room to take a break. For example, after a dinner break, I went back to the park to close it out!

I had a MAGICAL stay!!!! I truly had a wonderful stay at the Disneyland hotel. I absolutely loved the theming of the hotel. I've stayed at both the Disneyland Hotel and the Grand Californian. They both have their perks and cons. While the Grand Californian is more easily accessible and oh so convenient, I found the charm and ambiance of the Disneyland Hotel to be much more enjoyable. The Disneyland Hotel is easily accessible if taking the monorail from Tomorrowland; otherwise, the trek through Downtown Disney can seem long. We received a text message when the room was ready and we were able to do contactless check-in. We used our Disney app to access our virtual keys to unlock our room and it was oh so easy. Upon entering the room, we fell in love! The room is a bit smaller than Grand Californian rooms, BUT THE THEMING! It was so fun to look around the room and spot all the adorable ways they had incorporated Mickey from Mickey lampshades to Mickey faucet handles to Disney carpeting. SO CUTE AND MAGICAL! I loved all the natural light that poured into the room from the giant windows. However, there was not much a view at the time that I visited as there was construction directly in front of my room. I know others have complained of loud construction noises, but I did not have that the problem. The bed was SO comfortable as were the Disneyland bathrobes. I loved the castle outline as the headrest as well as the lights feature. It gave it that extra magical touch. Overall, I'd stay again at the Disneyland Hotel! It was truly a magical experience.

The smell of this place is so enchanting almost like Hawaii or some tropical place. We were met with the friendliest and most accommodating staff I have ever seen. Literally every person from the bell hop to the maid was friendly. I can't wait to come back here. Stay in the adventure tower!!! The pool was also perfect for my 2 year old. The bed had space for us underneath to store our luggage and other items which was AWESOME because it helped us keep our room tidy. I wish every hotel did that. The headboard was an added bonus that played a lullaby and lit up the fireworks with the press of a button. The bed was super wide for a king and very comfortable.

Parking fees $45 an hour an half that's insane People don't park there go to Downtown Disney For $10
