Disneyland® Hotel

Talk about nostalgia! Disneyland® Hotel originally opened in 1955, with only 104 rooms. In its newest incarnation, there are 975 rooms in three renamed themed towers—Adventure Tower, Frontier Tower, and Fantasy Tower—spread out over this fun, fun resort. Each tower embraces a theme from the original “lands” of Disneyland® Park, each a time capsule of sorts filled with memorabilia and classic Disney artwork. Contemporary guest rooms offering touches of magic, three pool areas, and several dining and entertainment options, making this remarkable hotel better than ever.

You’ll find the lobby and front desk located in the Fantasy Tower, most of the concierge rooms and exciting Signature Suites in the Adventure Tower, and many of the standard suites in the Frontier Tower (the only tower offering balconies in some of its rooms and suites).

Outside are three sparkling pools (not to mention fabulous So Cal weather), a welcoming fireplace area with comfortable and cozy seating, and Trader Sam’s terrace, a favorite gathering spot with live Hawaiian music nightly.

975 rooms (including 65 suites). 1150 W. Magic Way, Anaheim, CA 92802; phone (714) 778-6600, fax (714) 520-6099. Check-in 3:00 p.m., checkout 11:00 a.m. ]

ACCOMMODATIONS

Guest Rooms

Not your standard cookie-cutter size, these rooms offer anywhere from 364 to 415 square feet depending on the configuration with every room a bit unique throughout the hotel. A soft-goods room renovation was just completed, including sleeper sofas, wallpaper, paint, and carpeting. Our favorite headboards stayed put, thank goodness, with their carved Sleeping Beauty Castle motif and fiber-optic fireworks; flip the switch and it lights up and plays When You Wish Upon a Star. Rooms come with either two queen beds or one king. The same blue/gold color scheme continues into the drapery and fireworks motif carpeting. Walls are covered in subtlety-striped wallpaper, and additional furnishings include a shimmery beige corner easy chair, small desk and chair, three-drawer bureau over which is found a flat-screen TV.

Our particular guest room in Frontier Tower came with a split configuration bath on either side of the entry hall with a tub and commode on one side, and a small closet and single sink in a black granite vanity on the other (remember that there are many bath layout variations). Mickey-gloved light fixtures and sleek Mickey-eared sink and shower hardware are fun surprises in all the rooms. Additional amenities include an under-counter refrigerator, comfortable mattresses and pillows, and high-quality linens along with H2O spa bath products, full length, and makeup mirrors, a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, and an electronic safe. Guest rooms here can accommodate up to five people with a daybed.

Views vary and your options are: Standard View of either the front or the back of the resort and a parking area; Deluxe View of the central pool courtyard; or the Premium View also looking at the central pool courtyard but on a higher floor; and Premium Downtown Disney View with views of the Downtown Disney District.

If you want a balcony request one in the Frontier Tower on the 14th (top) floor and/or the sides of the building in the corner rooms. I do remember staying in a 14th-floor room considered a Standard View overlooking the parking lot but also offered an incredible view of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa, Disney California Adventure® Park, and Cars Land, and the surrounding area.

Concierge Rooms

Guests with concierge-level service have access to the E-Ticket Club located on the 11th floor of the Adventure Tower. From this lovely vantage point are spectacular vistas of the entire Disneyland Resort, including a view of all five “mountains” in both parks. And better yet, it’s a picture-perfect location for watching the fireworks show complete with music. My one big issue is the lack of, particularly in the early evening, waitstaff and seating—there really needs to a reduction in the number of rooms allowed to use concierge. Additional amenities include guest robes, nightly turndown service, in-room bottled water, and priority check-in and check-out processed regrettably at the front desk instead of inside the concierge lounge. Concierge guest rooms have either: a Standard View Club Level facing the pool in Adventure Tower; or a Premium View Club Level on a higher floor overlooking Downtown Disney.

“Magical Beginning” breakfast offers fresh fruit, juice, cereal, bagels, mini muffins, pastries, Mickey waffles, oatmeal, deli meats and cheeses, smoked salmon, hard-boiled or deviled eggs, and a yogurt parfait station. “Intermission” snacks throughout the day include a variety of beverages, fruit, crudites with ranch dip, potato chips. tortilla chips and salsas, crudites, pretzels, granola bars, trail mix, Goldfish crackers, Smucker’s Uncrustables, and cookies (sugar, chocolate fudge, and chocolate chip). Evenings bring “Magic Hours” with cold appetizers of artisan cheeses, cold cuts, breads, fruit, crab salad toast, broccoli and bacon salad, egg salad toast, soba noodle salad, orzo salad, and crudités as well as two hot entrées such as chicken taquitos, potato balls, Caprese panini, barbecue bao, shrimp tempura, fried vegetable potstickers, mac and cheese balls, beef empanadas, mini chicken pot pies, and the like. Beers and wine are served by the lounge hosts with the choices of Zonin Prosecco, Louis Pommery Brut, Terlato Vineyards Pinot Grigio, La Crema Chardonnay, Meiomi Pinot Noir, Kunde Merlot, and Upper Cut Cabernet Sauvignon. There is also a Nespresso machine in the lounge. After dinner enjoy “Sweet Dreams” cordials along with mini desserts such as chocolate reflection, lemon cones, creme brulee, macadamia tart, pistachio mousse, lemon meringue, tiramisu, along with brownies, cookies, fruit, and rice crispy treats.

Suites

The most exciting suites at the Disneyland® Resort are the fantasy-themed Signature Suites, all found on the Adventure Tower’s 11th floor. By contrast, the standard suites here, some of which come with balconies, are located in each of the three towers with some offering far superior layouts than others; you never quite know what you will receive until check-in. Only the Signature Suites automatically have concierge access. Concierge in standard suites is by request only with confirmation on arrival and for an additional fee.

Don’t jump when the doorbell rings in the Adventureland Suite—it’s only the sound of drums in deepest, darkest Africa! Its décor includes a mix of tribal masks lining the walls leading to a living room with Oriental rugs upon rich wood flooring, a leather-tufted sleeper sofa, monkey and elephant-themed curios, drum-style cocktail tables, a cozy draped sleeping alcove, a TV hidden behind a painting hung above a gas fireplace, even a hidden closet behind the faux bookcase, all evoking the idea of a British Colonial safari. In the adjoining dining area, a six-person table sits on a zebra rug next to a striking wet bar boasting a gorgeous tiger’s eye countertop. Nearby is a bonus full bath with a copper pot sink and a nice-sized shower.

In the master bedroom a delightful safari theme reigns with walls decorated in expedition helmets and explorer maps, a four-poster king bed draped in mosquito netting, slate floor covered with Oriental rugs, crocodile-stamped leather easy chairs, luggage-style end tables, even a claw-foot tub in the sleeping area. And you won’t even believe the master bath with its dual sinks in a marble vanity, a TV built into the mirror, and, best of all, a rock-lined steam/rain shower/whirlpool tub complete with rain forest sound effects.

The suite’s guest room is reminiscent of a safari tent with a camp desk, luggage-strapped bureau and side tables, canvas curtains and wall coverings, and rustic king bed. Yet another gorgeous bath features natural stone, above-counter basins, trough-like faucets, tribal mirrors, and a tub/shower with a separate commode area. The suite has lovely pool views but alas no balcony. 1,800 square feet sleeping five. View Disneyland Hotel’s Adventureland Suite on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube Channel!

The Fairy Tale Suite is a princess’s dream come true. At only 725 square feet, what it lacks in size, it makes up in pure charm. Who greets you on arrival? None other than Tinker Bell with a sprinkling of pixie dust in the suite’s entry hall (just you wait and see!). Two steps down the bedroom adorned with silver and shimmery sage fabrics and carpeting holds a luxuriously draped and oh-so-romantic canopy bed as well as a silky chaise lounge, the perfect spot for resting royalty. At the touch of a button, a wall of curtains opens to reveal a magical view of the Disneyland Resort and the nighttime fireworks shows. Not even the TV will spoil your view since it can be raised and lowered within the bureau remotely.

In the massive white marble bath, a mosaic of Sleeping Beauty Castle is spread over a fantasy whirlpool tub flanked by Corinthian columns. Shooting stars twinkle above double sinks with a makeup vanity nestled in-between; mosaics adorn the marble flooring; a luxurious steam shower is encased in frosted glass; a separate room houses the bidet and commode. To top it all off, the vanity mirror disguises a built-in, almost magical TV. This dreamy hideaway fittingly sleeps only two guests.

The Old West is alive and kicking at the Big Thunder Suite. This two-bedroom beauty has a doorbell that rings like the howl of a wolf, a foyer with sounds effects from a runaway mine train, stone columns, repurposed barn wood flooring and paneling, and Navaho-style rugs. A mixture of rustic and luxury is on display in the suite’s living area with a stone gas fireplace centerpiece with hidden TV above. A cowhide covered armoire, leather sleeper sofa, and two oversized chairs mix with antique mining tool accessories. The eight-person dining table is lit by a wagon wheel chandelier, and a nearby wet bar has an unusual trough-style copper sink over which hangs a “magical” gold miner photo. A half bath is found off the living area with a copper bucket sink, lantern light fixtures, and pull-chain commode. There’s no balcony, but lovely views of the resort pools are seen from the oversized windows.

The master bedroom has a king bed with a leather and wood headboard, Nubuck spread, leather pillows and bolsters, a desk, a leather easy chair, and an entertainment center with TV. It is, however, the master bath that really stands out. You enter through a sliding barn door to find a freestanding copper tub set in a stone surround alcove, pebble-lined steam shower, above-counter copper sinks, a magical TV concealed within the vanity mirror, and a separate commode area. On the other side of the living area is the second bedroom decorated 50s-style cowboy with a queen bed topped in a plaid spread, boot lamps, and a single-sink bath. 1,450 square feet sleeping six. View Disneyland Hotel’s Big Thunder Suite on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube Channel!

In the whimsical two-bedroom Pirates of the Caribbean Suite, don’t jump when the doorbell rings with “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life For Me” – tough enough to get this ditty out of your head after a ride on the Disneyland Park attraction, even tougher when the kids are ringing it over and over again! It features wooden beams and planked floors with Spanish colonial-style furniture, rich area rugs and heavy brocade drapery in deep red and gold tones, potted palms, a leather sofa, two high-back occasional chairs, a desk, a rustic dining room table for eight, and wet bar, all inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean films and attraction. A faux fireplace flickers with realistic flames and above sits a Jolly Roger painting hiding the TV. Scattered throughout is a treasure trove of pirate memorabilia, including a replica of Davy Jones’s dead man’s chest, pirate maps, and figurines, model pirate ships, even Jack Sparrow’s revolver.

In a smallish master bedroom, a.k.a. Captain’s Quarters, a half-canopied bed is draped in royal red and gold brocade. There’s also an entertainment center, easy chair and ottoman, and the master bath features ornate vanity mirrors, red brocade-like wallpaper, double sinks, a whirlpool tub, and a steam shower all in one area. For the mateys is the guest room with a pair of double beds, explorer map motif bed runners, and treasure chest entertainment center with a single-sink bath with a separate toilet/bathtub area. There is a 3rd bonus bath, and views from the suite are of the pool via a stand-up French balcony. Sleeps four guests with 1,770 square feet.

Talk about a big cheese; you won’t believe the Mickey Mouse Penthouse! This suite, with 1,725 square feet, two bedrooms, and two- and a half baths, is undoubtedly a colorful affair! Views are of the Disneyland Resort, and yes, you can see the fireworks from the suite. The suite’s modern look and charcoal, white, red, and yellow color scheme, and Mickey Mouse memorabilia in every nook and cranny is different indeed. A sizeable great room pops with hardwood floors covered with soft gray and white area rugs, contemporary furnishings including a charcoal-colored sofa and red easy chairs, and a wall of animator pencil drawings of the mouse himself. Overhead is glowing Mickey cutout lighting. An adjoining dining room seats six people in Mickey-backed chairs and expansive views out the window. A super fun cherry-red wet bar with Mickey-eared-etched mirrors and white leather bar stools even has a Mickey Mouse phone on the counter and a microwave.

The master bedroom has a king bed with a red leather headboard surrounded by Mickey maquettes (scale models). The bath features an oversized steam shower complete with multiple jets on the walls and ceiling, a deep whirlpool tub, and a milk chocolate granite double vanity. The second bedroom is fun, fun, fun for kids with its Sorcerer Mickey theme featuring a round bed, cozy kids’ nook, TV, and even a PlayStation and Disney Infinity, perfect for hours of playtime. The adjoining single sink bath in a myriad of colorful tiles is accessible with a roll-in shower. View Disneyland Hotel’s Mickey Mouse Penthouse Suite on the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube Channel!

Regal Suites are non-themed, one-bedroom affairs that can connect to make either a 2 or a 3-bedroom suite. A nice-size living area with a sleeper sofa and half bath connects to standard-type guest rooms with two queen beds.

Many standard One-bedroom Suites are located on the 14th floor of the Frontier Tower and come with a balcony. In this Tower, views vary from either the pool or the parking area and Disney California Adventure Park. Near the entry is a half-bath with black granite countertop and wet bar with a sink, under-counter refrigerator, and three white leather barstools. In the parlor area is a sleeper sofa, easy chair, desk, and flat-screen TV, as well as access to the Plexiglas-enclosed balcony. The suite’s master bedroom offers a king bed with lighted castle headboard, easy chair, and entertainment center, and in the bath are double sinks and a separate tub/shower and commode area.

Ambassador Suites are located in the Frontier Tower and are corner units, each with 1,400 square feet. A long entry hall leads to the living/dining area with a sleeper sofa, two easy chairs, a desk, an entertainment center with a TV, and a 6-person dining table. Off this area is a wet bar similar to that of the one-bedroom suite. Bedrooms are located behind the wet bar area down a long, strange hallway. The master has a king bed, easy chair, another balcony, and a single-sink bath with a separate tub/shower and commode area; the small guest room also has a king bed and bath. A half bath is in the hallway off the guest room.
