The #1 reason to stay is that you have your own private entrance to the park, right out the back of the lobby! No waiting in lines and very easy to go back home for an hour or two if you travel with little ones or just need a break from the no-stop crazy fun! Would recommend adding the balcony... More

The value for this hotel is not good as one would expect from both the Disney brand and the price charged. The guest assistance desk (concierge ) didnt have any real desire to assist in making dinner reservations, even though it was at their own top end 'Napa Rose" restaurant (we ended up having to take our chance and walk...

My husband and I are DVC members and we stayed in a studio of the Disney Vacation Club part of the hotel from 4/29 - 5/10. Wow. What a beautiful place. The Cast Members were all so friendly and helpful. The lobby is awesome - lots of places to sit and relax, there's a piano player and an alcove with... More

I have stayed in many Hotels over the years, 4 star and lower. I feel I have a great base to compare this Hotel. Ok I'll start with the good stuff: The staff was friendly, the location was great. They gave us a complimentary character breakfast at Ariel's Grotto with our room. Now here is the bad stuff: SOOOOOO overpriced,... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Average size rooms. Can see how a family with strollers would be crowded. We had a deluxe view room with a king. Perfect for us with a nice view of the Grizzly River Run and Hoolywood Tower. Food at the resort was the best and the healthiest; not so in the park. Would recommend.

We had just come from Santa Monica, where we were renting an entire apartment, so I was a little concerned about being cooped up in a small room with our 3 year old for 4 days. Not to worry. Our room was beautifully outfitted. We got a room with a queen bed and a set of bunk beds, so we... More

What a wonderful vacation we had! The beds are the best I've ever slept in (the best sheets & mattresses) and everything is immaculate. The lobby is absolutely beautiful...just like the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, Arts & Craft style. I wish I could afford to stay here every year when we visit Disneyland!! You will love it.

This hotel of all the hotels surrounding Disneyland Resort has the best location. You can walk through one gate to enter Downtown Disney and another gate goes right into California Adventure Theme Park. If you have trouble walking or just don't like to do it, this is the hotel for you. Plus, it has the best restaurant Napa Rose inside.... More
