TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Pros:The grounds, pool, food and friendliness of the staff were great. The light up headboard was great. One free lighting lane. Cons: Our room was on the 4th floor of the adventure tower facing Disney springs. Every morning between 5:30-6:10am there was a loud vibrating noise that sounded similar to construction. Each night at Disney springs there was VERY loud music with 2 nights having a live band until 10:30pm. After getting woken up early, rope dropping at the park and being at the parks in the heat all day we just wanted to go to bed early but we're not able to due to the loud noises. I would not recommend staying there if you and your family plan on going to bed before 10:30pm. There was also only one working elevator which was also frustrating bc there was typically a line to get back to your room and you had to walk further down since you could only get in and out one way (our room wasn't near the working elevator). We will probably never stay here again unfortunately bc we're exhausted and the experience was unlike any other Disney resort we've stayed at.

Nice place but the furnishings are worn. Stayed in Frontier Tower. AC is motion censored. So don’t be surprised when you leave your room and come back and it’s not what you set it on. The shower faucet was odd but the water was very hot. Clean and comfy.

Travelled from the UK. Lovely hotel, the Discovery Tower was really good and we had a small kitchenette in a brand new room. Staff were good too. But, the pools were closed so many times due to kids pooping. It was very frustrating - I can’t understand why they don’t wear swim nappies, I saw loads of kids with just normal nappies on. Try to put more signs out or even make them more easily available as it’s really gross. No magic hours, just one free lightening lane for the whole 5 day visit which I was quite surprised at.

WARNING to travelers: the Disneyland Hotel and any OnSite hotel is just not worth it any more. SAVE YOUR MONEY!! The 1 star is for STAFF, if I could give my $$ directly to them, I would, because their amazing kindness is what Disney does best. Absolutely love all cast members, front desk, cleaning crews and security! But I genuinely want the Disney Company to Do Better! Every off property hotel offers the same fireworks view and short walking distance to the entrance for $200 to $700 LESS A Night!! The 1 lightening lane pass per person per entire stay (not per day even!) is not worth the loss of early entry. A full multi lane pass costs less than the overnight parking! (Up to $40 versus $45 parking). And the taxes? Left our family (staying for a Disney wedding even) with a bitter taste. All the rides and shows the theme parks offer still make the entry ticket worth the price. But most people also don't realize that you can walk around all the hotel grounds, enjoy the restaurants, music, vibe and magical photo worthy decor in all the lobbies for free! So although I am still a huge Disney fan, until they do better by lowering the price or offering more worthy perks like full lighting lane passes per day, free parking or food credits for hotel guests, I will warn all travelers against Burning their $$ money just for a bed at a Disneyland Hotel.

This Disney resort property is just steps from Downtown Disney and an easy walk to both parks. The property has 4 towers in a square shape with the pools and restaurants in the middle. Everything is self contained and very quiet and peaceful. The buildings have a very modern and luxurious feel, yet Disney magic is still present throughout. The staff is friendly and attentive. Even though there are various dining options, this resort lacks the traditional quick serve options found at many other Disney resorts (no Mickey waffles!). There is a convenient coffee house, but breakfast and lunch menu items are limited and the wait can be long in the mornings, so consider mobile order. The pool area is nice, but having the slides in a separate area could present challenges for families. The line for the main slide can be long and you can’t relax in the pool waiting and watching your child go down the slides since they empty into their own pool on a different level. There are slides and a splash pad for younger children. We still give the property 5 stars for the location, cleanliness, service, and convenient access to parks and Downtown Disney. We stayed for 5 nights and recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the magic.
