I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel from March 24- March 29th. I went with my three kids and my mother. I booked through a travel agent with Disney. We arrived at LAX and rode the Disneyland express which seemed like it took forever to come pick us up.
Once we got to the hotel there wasn’t a line to check in in fact we went right up to the desk. It was almost like no one was there but only because everyone was at the parks. Check in was very smooth and quick. They gave each of my kids a balloon which they loved! I thought that was really nice.
I got a one bedroom suite on the 12th floor room 1222. I really liked the suite it was perfect for us. The room had a half bath off from the living room and a bathroom next to the bedroom. It also had a dining table, microwave and refrigerator. We had a awesome view of The Disney California Adventure Park. We were able to see The World of Color at night and the fireworks. The bathrooms had rotating shower heads. The room was very comfy. The only issue I had with the room was that while I was taking a shower in the bedrooms bathroom the water got so cold that I had to get out (still covered in soap) and go to the half bathroom to finish my shower. The bedroom had the queen sized beds. The living room had a couch with a pull out bed! This was very convenient for us. Lots a sleep room!
The meals at the hotel to me were waaaay overpriced. The character breakfast for my mom, three kids and I totaled up to $130! The kids loved the breakfast with the characters. The characters included Stitch, Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy. They each go around to the tables and play with the kids and give an autograph if you like. All except Mickey. He stands at the front and takes pictures with the families which can be purchased.
The hotel also had a pool area the has a slide!!
The kids absolutely loved it! The walks to the parks weren’t long at all. I was actually surprised at how close the parks were to our hotel. The walk from the hotel to Disney California Adventure park was about five minutes and to Disneyland park 10 minutes. I must admit this was not the hotel I wanted to stay at at first. I wanted to stay at Grand Californian. Staying here I saved a lot more money and I wasn’t at all disappointed! I will definately stay here again. Was very pleased and impressed.
