Disneyland is home to Sleeping Beauty’s castle, Carsland, and three gorgeous resorts. If you are thinking of traveling to Disneyland, it is important to know something about the resort offerings. The Disneyland Resort is home to the Grand Californian Resort and Spa, Paradise Pier, and the Disneyland Hotel. Let’s take a look at these three Disneyland resorts!

Disneyland offers three on site resorts. The Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, The Disneyland Hotel, and Paradise Pier Hotel. Also, there are many Good Neighbor Hotels in the Anaheim area that are within walking distance of the of the Disneyland parks.
What are the benefits of staying in a Disneyland Resort hotel?
Guests of the Disneyland Resort Hotels can enjoy Extra Magic Hours-where the parks open early one hour for resort guests.

Package delivery, early entry to the World of Color Show, and being within walking distance of the parks are also key benefits.
