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.
In 2010-2011 the hotel experienced another renovation - all three
towers now have the same exterior look, and the rooms inside were
remodeled as well. Most of the central courtyard was demolished,
including the "quiet pool" area, two restaurants, the arcade,
shops, waterfalls and koi pond. The new D-Ticket Pool
opened on May 26, 2011, along with two new restaurants:
Tangaroa Terrace and Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki
Bar.
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, the 1,400 sq ft Pirates of the
Caribbean Suite, and the Big Thunder Mountain Suite.
Handicap accessible rooms are available.
What are the differences between the towers?
As part of the 2010-2011 renovation the towers have been re-named,
though at this point in time that process is not complete, and the
towers are still known by their original names.
The Dreams Tower (soon to be the Adventure 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 (soon to be the Fantasy 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 (soon to be the Frontier 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 D-Ticket pool 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.

Check-in time is 3:00 p.m., check-out time is 11:00 a.m. Express

What kind of Concierge service is available?

the Never Land Pool or Downtown Disney/theme parks. The Concierge
Lounge, located on the 11th floor of the tower, is

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.

Complimentary coffee service is available in the lobby of the
Magic Tower, near the elevators, in the morning.
