Hi. I know I have already done my review of this hotel but one thing I wanted to add is that if you have a late flight (ours left at 9.45pm) you can leave your luggage in storage just outside the hotel for no charge. Just sign a form and get your ticket and pick your luggage up when your bus for the airport arrives. This way you can spend the day at the parks (if you haven't already used up your passes!!) or roam around Downtown Disney doing last minute shopping, etc. Or do whatever you like basically. We found this an awesome thing to have available as we didn't have to cart our luggage around with us for the whole day.

By far this has to be my favorite of the three resort hotels. Over the years i have had the opportunity to stay in all three towers at one point. The staff is friendly, the grounds are small enough to be cozy but large enough where you are not shoulder to shoulder with other guests.

Over the past several years the towers have undergone renovations, the pool now has the Monorail water slide and they have the fairly new Trader Sams Lounge for that night-cap under the tiki torches. Of course there is Goofys Kichen also for the Character Breakfast which i enjoy, especially the PB&J Pizza. Yeah, yeah, you know your crinkling your nose, as i did, but its sooooo tasty :) WIth Disneyland Hotel, being so close to Downtown Disney, you can choose to eat off the hotel site, and plenty of options to choose from

Parking is easy, self park and valet. Each time ive stayed i have chose to self park. The self-park lot is not a long walk and ive never had an issue not getting a space even during peak seasons when we have gone.

Although there is not perks as having a theme park attached to the hotel such as the Grand Californian, you do have the perk of a few steps to Downtown Disney, to hop on the Monorail for a ride into Tomorrowland to gain access to the park and skip the lines at the main entrance. Its also a ideal location, because you can grab that Monorail back at night, and not have to walk or deal with the Tram when everyone else is also trying to get home as well.

I personally like the Wilderness Tower, depending on the side you are one, you will have a pool view facing the main tower to the hotel with the registration desk is, or you will have a view of Paradise Pier side of the tower. And if you are lucky enough to be in that tower, you luck out with a handfull of parking spaces on the backside of the tower, when they are available, and you dont have to walk to the main lot for self parking.

As with all the resort hotels, they have the package delivery for guest of the hotels, you purchase something at the parks, and can have it sent to your hotel. If you do this, it needs to be at least a 12-24hr wiating period before it arrives, so please dont purchase something that morning and expect it at the hotel later that day, unless the cast member says it will be there, it usually takes a day or so turn around time.

Our most recent trip was Oct 2012, and Disneyland Hotel offered the early admission for hotel guests to CarsLand. The cast member said, that early admission is normally reserved for the guests of the Grand CA, but Disneyland Hotel was also included. However, you can also enter thru the Grand CA entrance with your hotel key, eventhough you are not staying at the Grand, so you still have the ability to take advantage of that perk.

As a Disney Vacation Club Member, i have the ability to stay here opposed to the DVC specific Villas at the Grand CA hotel, the points to stay here are more, but for me and my family, we enjoy this hotel better the the Grand CA due to the location, the ease of the monorail, and the biggest plus - the overall logistics of the parking compared to the self park at the Grand CA.

Unless you absolutely have to stay at the Grand CA, the Disneyland Hotel is the next best thing.

This hotel is on the resort property adjacent to the main Disneyland Park. You can walk to the entrance through the shops and restaurants in about 10-15 mins or you can take the monorail which leaves every few mins across from the hotel. Overall the hotel has been remodeled, so it is quite nice. Now for the price, it could be better. But part of the price is the whole Disney experience and convenience to the park.
The restaurants on site were okay, if not a bit overpriced, but that is all of Disney really.
All of the staff was very helpful for the most part.
The rooms were always clean and stocked when we cam back from a day at the parks.
Overall, if you want to save money, you could stay at another hotel nearby, but if you want the full Disney experience 24 hours a day, then stay here, as it is cheaper than the other Disney hotels at the property.

First off let me say I love this hotel! Our flight came in kinda late so we didn't arrive until about 9:30pm on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend. They had a governors ball going on that night, it was so nice to see all the young service men in their dressy attire with their dates in beautiful ball gowns. After I saw that I thought of boy we aren't gonna get upgraded for free this time. BUT Disney didn't disappoint, they upgraded us to a premium view room which worked perfect for my family of 4, both kids got their own bed! So our room had 2 queens and a daybed and overlooked the pool in the Frontier Tower on the 8th floor.

I love the room decor with all the hidden Mickey's everywhere in the tiniest details. The headboard is just beautiful. The room is very spacious as well. The only disappointment about the hotel is that the water slides were close for refurbishment. It was kinda too cold for swimming but we kinda wanted to try the slides, lots of other people were swimming during our stay. We did use the hot tub a few times and enjoyed it. The walk, oddly wasn't that bad considering the hotel is the furthest away from the parks. We caught the monorail to disneyland and when we wanted to go to DCA we went out the back of our tower cut through the parking lot next to Paradise Pier and then cut through the Grand to get into DCA.

We ate twice at the Tangaroa Cafe and it was pretty good. You order your food from a touch screen menu, pay and then they bring it to your table. They were great with our food allergies too! It was fast and very convenient.

Overall we had a great trip but my best advise would be if at all possible avoid the park on a weekend! To my surprise Veterans Day observed was not too crowded in the parks either.
