The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

[Angrose]

My TA says that there is a $17/day parking fee charge for the DLH which is an additional fee on top of the package price they have quoted me. In the OP, it states that there is a $15/day resort fee (which includes, parking, wifi, etc). Does anyone know which of these is true?

They do not charge a resort fee, Wifi is free, but parking is $17/day.

We were just there in February and we just paid to park. I do not believe there was any kind of resort fee. We had a lump sum for the room and wireless was included in that fee since there was noting other than parking and taxes broken out on our bill for the room.

They do not charge a resort fee, Wifi is free, but parking is $17/day.

Thank you! I'm trying to decide about what to do with the car I am renting as we will be coming from Sequoia National Park. When we are in DLR, we wanted to spend one day whale watching so we will need it for that but not much else. Is it worth keeping the car for the whole trip?

We were just there and rented a car to drive from SNA to DLH. We just like having access to a car incase we need anything, like going to the store or the drug store to get meds, which we needed this trip. I have a 3 yr old so if anything happens we need access to immediate transportation. We self parked at $17 a day.

It probably would end up costing you more to return the original car, rent another car for a day, then pay for taxi/shuttle back to the airport. Not to mention the time spent back and forth to the rental agency. I would price it out both ways and see what ends up being cheaper. But, sometimes convenience wins out over price.

Great advice! Thanks!

Is there a way to reserve a room for one night without having to pay for it when you make the reservation? Like if you call as opposed to reserve online?

 

[MeeskaMooska13]

I saw a thread about special "secrets" about staying at GCH so I was wondering if there were any for DLH?

 

[MeeskaMooska13]

Just bumping...Any DLH "secrets" we should look for?

 

[RKKUNK]

There is a rental car company right by the DLH by the Earl of Sandwich. I want to say it is Alamo? Anyway, you might want to check that out.

We have used the Alamo rental across from the DLH twice and they were great. We booked through Costco.

Does anyone know if the King Rooms at DLH all have the pull out sofabed? Thanks!

 

[BunnieGene]

I've stayed in two different kings rooms that didn't have a sofa... Both concierge level, one pool view, one Downtown Disney view...

Hi! New to the Disneyland Forum! My brother and SIL work for Disney World so we are fortunate to visit FL several times per year. However, we are heading to Disneyland and the DLH in October for the first time - so excited!! We reserved a two bedroom suite (cheaper than two rooms/more room for excited kids - and parents!- - to jump up and down lol). Are suites usually located on upper floors? Just curious.

Does anyone know what time tangaroa opens for breakfast?

Found it... 7 am... I wish places opened earlier... 7 am isn't early enough for an 8 am opening...

They charge you to park there...? Are he kidding me?

I Don't know many hotels that don't charge for parking anywhere I've travelled. It certainly stinks to shell out more money after you've already paid a bunch for a room, but this is definitely an industry norm.

Not me to be honest I haven't had many hotels charge me at all I know they tried to in Canada but we parked in the casino and played some games there for free parking!

17 dollars is steep too

We pay $40-$50 a night depending on the Seattle hotel... So you probably would choke if you stayed in Seattle if you think $17 is steep

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Wow...crazy!

Does anyone know where I can see a recent daily activity schedule (hotel/pool/movies)? Thanks!
