Staying On Disneyland Property

Staying at a Disney owned hotel comes with many benefits, the most intangible of which is that you will feel like you are at Disney during your entire trip, not just while at the parks. Staying at a Disney owned hotel is an immersive experience and so much more convenient.

Check out this list of amenities that you’ll receive when you stay in a Disney hotel:

  • Participation in Extra Magic Hour – One-hour early entry prior to the scheduled opening time on designated days to the Disneyland Park or California Adventure. The general public is not allowed in during the Extra Magic Hour so you’ll have much less competition for attractions. Disneyland – Tues, Thurs, Sat. California Adventure – Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun.
  • Charging of your Disneyland purchases (Merchandise, Dining, etc.) to your room. Note: third party vendors like most restaurants at Downtown Disney are excluded.
  • Special Park Entrance – Use of a convenient gateway to California Adventure through the Grand California Hotel and Spa.
  • Disney Merchandise delivery to your resort (from the theme parks or Downtown Disney)
  • The ability to book Preferred Access Dining Reservations between 60 and 2 days prior to check in.

Disneyland Hotels Overview

First let’s look at what the three hotels have in common:

  • All Disneyland Hotels are within walking distance of the theme parks.
  • Room entrances off of interior hallways
  • Concierge/Club level floors/sections
  • 1 to 3 bedroom Suites
  • Standard rooms sleep up to 5
  • On site dining

      Hi Francis,

      There is no Shades of Green equivalent at the Disneyland Resort.

      Disney offers discounts on rooms via the Disney Armed Forces Salute, see https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/the-disney-armed-forces-salute-military-ticket-and-room-discounts/

      There are other Disney Good Neighbor Hotels that you can check out too, see: https://www.militarydisneytips.com/blog/disneyland/disneylands-good-neighbor-hotels-comprehensive-list/
