Disneyland hotel facilities question

[jnjusoioa]

I'm sorry but I have no photos to add to this thread. I just wanted to add my opinion to help anyone deciding whether or not they should stay here.

I had originally booked to stay at the SL - after a lot of deliberation, I finally paid to upgrade and it was worth every penny. I totally fell in love with the hotel and it is my dream to stay there again.

Some of my highlights:

Beautiful lobby - particularly the chandelier
Subtle touches like the Mickey wallpaper - easily missed!
Character interaction to avoid the Park 'scrums'
Elegant rooms
Robes and slippers
Themed toiletries
Bathrooms with double sink and phone in the loo
Peaceful!
VIP fastpasses (we got 4 each day) for standard rooms
Relaxed and plentiful breakfasts with stunning views
Turndown service complete with Mickey chocolates
Location location location
Being close enough to nip back quickly
Looking down Main Street and seeing 'my' hotel lit up
Watching everyone trudge towards the Village when the Parks closed

My favourite thing was opening the window in my room, after the Park had closed and the kids were asleep, and listening to the Disney music being played in the Park. Priceless.

Hi There, Do you get this with a standard room or do you have to upgrade? Thank You.

Yes thats a standard room
Apart from the fact its not VIP fast pass you get - you get one extra FP per day per person. You just show this at the FP entrance to any FP ride and dont have to get a timed return or anything. The VIP FP is different and is for Concierge level or other specific things and can be used as many times as you like
