On a recent vacation to Las Vegas, my husband and I decided to go to Disneyland for one night to celebrate our anniversary on March 1st. Thanks to a $19 fare on Soutwest, we flew into LAX on Feb. 28th and took the Disneyland Express to the Disneyland Hotel. When planning this, I had read some negative comments on the Disneyland Express from LAX, but we arrived a little after 10 AM and watched the bus pull away from terminal 2, but a very nice worker told us that we could walk the very short distance to terminal 7 while it made stops at Terminals 3-6 and catch it there. We made it to terminal 7 with about 5 minutes to spare and caught the bus for the quick 20 minute ride to the hotel.
I had called the day before arrival to confirm our reservation, but the agent couldn't find it, so she transferred me to a supervisor (Stephanie) at the hotel. Apparently, there had been a glitch in the system but they were able to reinstate our reservation. During the conversation with Stephanie, I had mentioned that it was our 36th wedding anniversary and she said that she would note it on our reservation.
When we were checking in, the clerk asked us to please wait while she went into the back room and when she returned, she handed us an autographed picture of Minnie, a card signed by all the people at the front desk, anniversary buttons and told us that we had been upgraded to a suite in the Dreams Tower.
The room wasn't ready yet, so we checked our bags and went to the parks. We wore our buttons and the cast members all wished us a "Happy Anniversary". Later that night, we checked out our room and it had a living room, kitchen area with a bar & stools, a seperate bedroom, one and a half baths and a balcony with a view of the parks and Downtown Disney. There was a LOT of construction at the hotel and this tower seemed a little isolated because we couldn't walk through the courtyard and had to go around the other buildings to get to the lobby, but it was worth it because we noticed that the other towers didn't have a balcony and it was nice to sit out there with a drink and enjoy such a great view.
Thanks to everyone at the hotel and parks that made our anniversary so special!
