The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

[trishadono]

They are all located on the 11th floor of the Adventure Tower. If I remember correctly, the concierge lounge is straight ahead once you get off the elevator (it faces DTD). To the left of that on the same side of the hall is the Fairytale, directly to the right of the lounge is the Mickey Penthouse. Across the hall and down a few doors from the Penthouse is the Big Thunder (I think overlooking the pool).Also across from the E ticket lounge is one/two room suite that overlooks the pool. There might also be 4 or 5 regular rooms that connect to the one room suites on that level. I can find room numbers if you need but hopefully that helps!

Just booked the Fairytale suite!! Thanks for the info!

Trisha how awesome for Alyssa's trip!!! There is so much to see at Disneyland, especially with the new things for the 60th, but you will find it hard to leave your room! I'm so excited for you!

Circusgirl, Trish is making me jealous!! Can you point us to the link somewhere on here that says what other "perks" come with the suites? (VIP parade, Fantasmic seating) I know I saw it somewhere....it will help me build my case! hahahaha

Checking into the DLH right about 5 days from now! Any tips anyone can recommend? We just have a standard room reserved.

Thanks!

I've booked standard once and requested Adventure tower as it was our first stay and had a 2nd floor room overlooking the walkway to Trader Sams/corner of pool area. Honestly the whole hotel is amazing and it's my "home".
If you think you may spend enough time to warrant a deluxe view (lower pool) or premium you can always ask at check in if you can pay for an upgrade , or you may get pixie dust you never know.

Adventure tower is certainly closest but not by leaps and bounds imo. Frontier has been good to us and haven't stayed in Fantasy yet but might get put there on our trip in December so we'll see !
Definitely take time to walk through the different towers as they all have unique themes. The pools are awesome and my hubby loves the water slide.
Trader Sam's is fantastic and they allow kids before 8pm if that's a concern. I recommend an early break here around 1-3pm for their bbq pork flatbread and yummy drinks !
Tangoraga Terrace is adjacent and awesome for grabbing a late night meal to the room too.

Thanks!! No kiddos, just my BFF and I to celebrate her birthday! We will definitely be hitting up Trader Sam's. And we do have some free time on our Halloween Party day so we'll be checking out the pool for sure.

I think I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best as far as our tower/view goes. The hotel is sold out all week for Gay Days so I'm not sure how much wiggle room they'll have for Pixie Dust!

Questions about staying in 3 bedroom suite in 2 weeks.
1. Is it 3 bedrooms and a sitting room with pullout couch or is it just 3 rooms total?
2. Is there a small refrigerator in each room ?
3. What kind of coffee maker is there?
4. Is there a microwave somewhere in the hotel we can use? We have a toddler with us.

The call center doesn't seem too helpful with stuff like this.

Thanks for any info

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?

Check to see what it would cost to drop it at the downtown Disney car rental spot. That's what we are doing....

1. Yes, you should have three separate rooms joined by one "living room" with a couch and table etc. The ones we have stayed in did not have bars but I believe some do. We had a total of three and 1/2 bathrooms. Each bedroom had a bath and the main room had a 1/2 bath.
2. Yes each room has a small fridge.
3. Didn't check out the coffee can't help with that one.
4. There should be a microwave on the 1st floor of each tower but I can't really verify that.

Hope you have a great trip and come back and report how your room was /

Re: the microwave, I was told I'd have to go to the Adventure Tower to find one. (on the first floor, right off the main lobby). We were in the Fantasy Tower but only needed the microwave once, so no problem.

Thanks for the response. The CM at the call center said it was 3 rooms total. I was worried since that wouldn't fit us all in and the the hotel is sold out Oct 18-22.

That's odd, but sometimes I wonder if they have ever been in the rooms. We have only stayed in one three room suite and it was prior to the remodel but it was three full rooms with a middle room adjoining the first two. We typically stay in the two room suites but it is the same theory, two full rooms with the middle section and 2 1/2 baths. For our upcoming trip for some reason I had to reserve a three room suite (with the same amount that usually stay in a two) which was a little odd to me. I think it must have something to do with overall hotel occupancy. How many are in your party? We traveled with 9 and the two room suites we have had are really quite large and accommodate us perfectly. We usually have them bring in two roll-away beds just because of the dynamics of who can sleep where (unmarried adults and brothers that can't touch) and have two ECV's and there is still plenty of room. The roll-away beds are actually very comfortable.

Malcon10t might also have some useful information -- very knowledgeable about the Disneyland Hotel.

I would call the Hotel Directly and visit with one of the CM's about your bedding needs and they should be able to help.

 

[grannyminnie]

Oops...just noticed I didn't finish my first sentence! Guess my brain just got away from my fingers! lol To finish the thought: I didn't rent from near DD because the price was so much higher to me.

A couple of room service questions:

1. What is the earliest you can get breakfast? We are going in October and some of the days the parks open really early (7-8AM) so I'd like to get pretty early room service breakfast.

2. Can you call in your order the night before or do you have to place your order right when you want it?

DLH room service info is a bit tough to find.

We have 8 - 3 couples plus my daughter and grandson (3 years old). The 3 bedroom will be ideal. Is the 1/2 bath just a sink and toilet or does it have a stall shower also.

I will call with requests this week. Thanks for you help.

 

[closetmickey]

By definition, a 1/2 bath does not include a shower - usually just toilet and sink.

 

[5forMickey]

It is just a sink and toilet, however, it is very good extra space if you have girls wanting to primp ! A three bedroom should definitely give you separate space for each couple and then if you get one of the rooms with 2 queens that would be perfect. I think you will really like it!.
