The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

[darcie2000]

I'm starting my search of which on site hotel to stay at~
The DL home "hotel" page does not list a fridge for the DL hotel, but reading the first few pages of this superthread (I admit, I did not read all 500 posts ) it states they do.
Does a standard room have a mini fridge? (do all 3 onsite hotels?)
Thanks

We recently stayed at DLH in a standard room and yes we had a mini fridge.

I called DLH yesterday to verify our reservation and room/tower request for our upcoming trip. I also verifed with the CM that all rooms at DLH have a refrigerator. Not sure about GCH and PP as there some posts on this board about a recent fire at GCH due to a malfunction of a refrigerator. There was a report that all of refrigerators were removed from GCH.

We are at GCH now and have a refrigerator in our room...

So excited! Just booked our 1st stay at the DLH! We put in a request for the Adventure tower. Can anyone tell me if they have a pool bar? I don't know how I am going to wait until September....

There is no pool bar at DLH pool, but there is poolside drink service. Then just outside the enclosed pool area there is a great tiki bar called Trader Sam's. Don't miss it. One of my favorite places in the whole resort

We will be staying at DLH soon!!! I need to call and put in my request for tower preference We will be in a resort/pool view room and I would prefer the Fantasy or Adventure tower. Does anyone know if we can request a cot or something as we will have 5 people in the room with two queen sized beds...

Also do you think it's worth the extra cost to upgrade to club level?

Your room will have a couch that turns into a bed. It's not a pull out, it's a single that kind of folds down, but it works well for a kid/teen or even smallish adult!!

Just booked The Disneyland Hotel for February 2014. We stayed at the Grand Californian back in 2008 and I found the rooms to be on the small side. How would the rooms at disneyland compare?

LMO429 - Be sure to request a room with a day bed (which are located in all three towers). I stayed in one without a day bed and it was comparable to a room at the GCH. But the one with a day bed I stayed in last year was very roomy.

Just booked my first stay at the DLH! (Last two trips DH and I stayed at PPH, which we love, but trying something new.) So excited, will have to devour this thread now!

We just got back from 5 days at DLH it was awesome!!! We had room 1125 in the fantasy tower. Its a standard parking lot view however if you look to the right you can see the matterhorn, BTMRR, and a perfect view of the fireworks. Also in the lobby daily was Goofy, Balou, Snow White, Chip and Dale, and princess Jasmine.

I've wanted to stay at the DL Hotel since I was a little girl, but never got the chance, since I grew up not far away. We're taking our six year old this December for two nights and I can't wait!! I think the trip is just as much, if not more, for me than him.

I am delighted to see someone else posting about seeing characters in the DLH lobby Thanks a million. I have posted similar comments in the past and each time others have questioned my truthfulness
Glad to see I am not the only one that meets characters in the DLH lobby!

I saw Goofy in the lobby last week!

Mickey used to be the "greeter" at the front entrance. Does he still greet?

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

We saw Goofy in the lobby last Feb. Hoping to see some more this coming trip!

I have never seen mickey ever at the hotel. I have seen lots of other characters though in the lobby and sometimes outside of the fantasy tower close to the pool. I think the best time to see characters is around 12:30/1:00 when goofys kitchen is finishing their brunch. It seemed like once the characters from goofys kitchen were done they would head over to the lobby for a short visit. Loved how easy it was to get pictures and autographs, my DS 10 kept saying , "mom this is awesome, we dont even have to stand in line."

Thanks! I realize it could have been over 20 years ago that we were first at DLH and saw him!
