I’m Carrie, vacation specialist with Destinations in Florida, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, and I visit you each week here on Couponing to Disney to answer some Disney FAQs. I love hanging out on Couponing to Disney every week with you, answering questions about the Happiest Place on Earth!  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!

What are my resort options at Disneyland?

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.  Also, guests of the three resorts can use the exclusive park entrance located at the Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.  Package delivery, early entry to the World of Color Show, and being within walking distance of the parks are also key benefits.

Do the Disneyland Hotels offer child care facilities?

Yes.  The Grand Californian Hotel and Spa is the home to Pinocchio’s Workshop. This is where your children can enjoy guided activities, Disney movies, crafts, and more.  There is an additional fee, and guests of the Paradise Pier and Disneyland Hotel can also use Pinocchio’s Workshop.

Do the Disneyland Resort Hotels have refrigerators?  What are some of the other amenities?

Yes!  All the rooms at the Disneyland Resort hotels have a small refrigerator in them.  They also have hair dryers, ironing boards,  and in room safes.  The Paradise Pier rooms do have coffeemakers as well.

Can I ship items to myself at my Disneyland Resort before I arrive?  

Yes!  For many guests, visiting Disneyland involves an airplane journey.  So, to cut down on your luggage, you can ship items to yourself at your resort.  Popular items are dry snacks, diapers, wipes, some toiletries, etc.

Hello Couponing to Disney readers! I’m Carrie, vacation specialist with Destinations in Florida-an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner-and I visit you each week here on Couponing to Disney to answer some Disney FAQs. I love hanging out on Couponing to Disney every week with you, answering questions about the Happiest Place on Earth! This week, I am going to give you some answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about the original Happiest Place on Earth-Disneyland.

What Disneyland Resort do you recommend for families with young children?

When you are visiting with young children, being close to the parks is a must.  In the case of Disneyland, I suggest you stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort and Spa.  You may be making quick trips back to the resort for naps, meals, and some quiet pool time.  The Grand Californian Resort and Spa is perfect for you! My second choice for families with young children is the Disneyland Hotel.  What I like about this is that there are no balconies-just floor to ceiling windows.  And, the rooms at the Disneyland Resort are larger than at the others.  The Disneyland Hotel is also in a great location-it’s on the monorail!

What options are there for a family of 5 or 6 at the Disneyland Resort?

The three resorts at Disneyland offer suite options that will be perfect for larger families!  You can enjoy a suite with a theme park view, a Paradise Pier view, or a standard view.  Also, rooms at the Disneyland Hotel have two queen beds and a day bed-perfect for a family of 5!

What are the benefits to staying in a Disneyland Resort?

Guests of the Disneyland Resorts can enjoy numerous benefits!  You are surrounded by Disney magic every moment of your trip.  With Disneyland Resorts, the magic is in the details!  You can enjoy a private entrance to Disneyland’s California Adventure Park as well as Extra Magic Hours.  Plus special experiences unique to each resort, and don’t forget about the amazing pools at your Disneyland Resort!

If I am staying at the Grand Californian Resort, may I use the pools of the other Disneyland resorts?

Unfortunately, not.  Guests are only allowed to use their pool of the resort where they are staying.  However, it’s Disney!  And the pools at each resort have their own charm and magic!  Your family will be perfectly happy with the pools at the Grand Californian!

Does the Disneyland Resort offer complimentary airport transportation?

No, unfortunately not.  The hotels of the Disneyland Resort are serviced by various shuttle companies in the Anaheim area.  The good thing is, you can add ground transfers directly to your Disneyland package .

I’m happy to answer any more planning questions you have, and take the stress out of planning your next Disney vacation. There is still time to book your spring break or early summer vacation to Walt Disney World under the current discount from the Disney Parks.

The Disneyland in Anaheim, CA Hotel is New and Improved

By

disneyland-hotel-overview-gallery-968x450-18

The Disneyland in Anaheim, CA Hotel is New and Improved. Usually this just means new packaging. We’re often sold on things that are new and improved that are nothing more than a shining up of the previous product. I should note that I am calling Disneyland Hotel “New and Improved” on my own. To my knowledge Disney themselves haven’t referred to it that way. They will tell you they are a AAA 4-Diamond Award Hotel though… Which I would too, I suppose…
