Tell me about the Disneyland Hotel.

The Disneyland Hotel (DLH) is located across Disneyland Drive from Disneyland and next to Downtown Disney. The hotel consists of three high-rise towers overlooking the extensive grounds. In addition to the dining, pool, shopping and recreation areas there is also a large convention facility. Originally built in 1955 and owned by Jack Wrather and his wife, actress Bonita Granville, the Walt Disney Company purchased the property in 1988.

During the construction of Downtown Disney in 1998-2001 the grounds of the Disneyland Hotel were significantly changed: The rooms and buildings in the Oriental Gardens area were removed and the Monorail Plaza, containing shops and restaurants, was demolished. The monorail station remained in the same location but was remodeled. The pool area was extensively refurbished and rethemed as the Never Land Pool.

What type of accommodations are available?

The Disneyland Hotel has 990 rooms and suites. Standard rooms are 364-415 square feet with either a king-size bed or two queen-size beds and will accommodate up to five people. In addition to the 930 standard hotel rooms there are 60 one- two- or three-bedroom suites, ranging in size from 740-3,400 square feet. These include the 1,320 sq ft Mickey Mouse Penthouse and the 1,400 sq ft Pirates of the Caribbean Suite.

Handicap accessible rooms are available.

What are the differences between the towers?

The Dreams Tower (formerly the Sierra Tower) is closest to Downtown Disney and the theme parks. Most of the rooms are considered "view" rooms, with a view of either the pool area or Downtown Disney and the parks. All of the 79 concierge rooms are located in the Dreams Tower, as are the Mickey Penthouse and the Pirates of the Caribbean Suite.

The Magic Tower (formerly the Marina Tower) is the "main" tower, with the lobby and gift shops located on its first floor. Standard view rooms look over the hotel entrance towards the convention center and parking lot, while view rooms look over the Never Land Pool area.

The Wonder Tower (formerly the Bonita Tower) is the furthest away from the Never Land Pool and the parks. Standard view rooms overlook the parking lot, while view rooms overlook the waterfall/grotto area.

Are there any Smoking rooms?

The Disneyland Hotel is a non-smoking hotel. Smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the hotel or its rooms, balconies, shops, restaurants or pool areas. Smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas.

What is the Disneyland Monorail service like?

The Disneyland Monorail station is located at the end of Downtown Disney closest to the Magic and Dreams Towers, but it is not actually directly accessible from either tower. Anyone wishing to ride the monorail must pass through the security checkpoint at the monorail station and must present a valid Disneyland ticket for entry, since passengers disembark at the Tomorrowland Station inside Disneyland park.

From the Downtown Disney station the monorail passes by Downtown Disney and the Grand Californian hotel, as well as the Main Entrance to Disneyland. As it approaches the Tomorrowland station it circles the Matterhorn and passes over the Finding Nemo Submarine Lagoon before stopping at the Tomorrowland station. The trip takes about 5 minutes.

At busier times of day, typically evening and park closing, Disney Resort guests receive priority boarding at the Tomorrowland Station upon showing their resort ID slip.
