Has anyone ever taken the tour?

I’m curious. Did you take the tour? What were your experiences with it?

We’re thinking about taking the tour during our stay in August.

No they canceled it due to rain.

I took this tour yesterday and thought it was fabulous. I love the hotel and have seen it change over the decades. It was a very nostalgic tour. I believe the tour is only for hotel guests (can be staying at any of the 3 hotels). You are supposed to sign up ahead of time, but I just went to the meeting spot in hopes of joining because I noticed the tour on the schedule 15 minutes before it started.

They didn't check names or anything. We had 2 guides and they were both amazing. I can't spell the word Mary Poppins says (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) but that's what they were. It's a great tour for history buffs, nostalgia and Disney super fans. If you don't fall into at least one of those categories, you might not enjoy the tour as much as I did. We visited the 3 main towers, the E ticket lounge and the Blue Sky Suite. I had never heard of the Blue Sky Suite. They said they hardly ever take anyone inside as it's often in use.

We were encouraged to take lots of pictures. I didn't take any except for the Blue Sky Suite. It's a very large room at the top of the Fantasy tower and is not available for booking. It's used for very special circumstances and big meetings (sounds like only in-house stuff, not the public). It has a beautiful sunroom, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a couple big meeting rooms and just one Murphy bed. It was very cool, but for me the best part of the tour was the history and learning some things that I didn't know. For example, at one point the towers were names Magic, Wonder and Dream. When they changed the names, the cruise ships got those names. I never associated the Disneyland Hotel with the cruise ships.

Hi, I took the tour yesterday too. I completely agree with you! The tour guides told us so much about the history of the hotel. As an graduated historian, I loved it so much. The tour guides were fabulous. Highly recommend this tour.

How long is it and how frequently is it offered?

 

[LisaPrincess30]

The tour is about 60 minutes long. It’s offered twice a week if I’m correct, on tuesdays and saterdays at 1:00 pm. You can check the hours at the hours and events calendar on the Disneyland website.
