Your Guide to the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Resort

If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog over the last few weeks you may have seen my guides to Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort and Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. Today, I switch coasts to share details of another of my favorite Disney properties – The classic Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Resort. 

Rich in history, the Disneyland hotel is big on classic Disney nostalgia but without compromising on modern touches.  The property is comprised of hotel towers named after Disneyland theme park’s original lands: Adventure, Fantasy and Frontier. 

In the lobby of each tower you’ll find classic images and timeless artwork!  Best of all the hotel is located just mere steps away from Downtown Disney and the Disneyland monorail so you can enjoy a short walk to the theme parks! 

The rooms at the Disneyland Hotel could best be described as sophisticated and whimsical and pay homage to the early days of Disneyland!  Rooms can accommodate up to 5 adults with a variety of bed combinations.  The property also offers Club-Level Suites and the crème de la crème of Disneyland accommodation – five magical signature suites themed after some of your favorite attractions including Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and more! 

Sounds pretty amazing right!? Here’s everything you need to know about this awesome property!
