Disneyland’s Paradise Pier Hotel

The overall theme of the Paradise Pier Hotel is a beachy, boardwalk feel.

Rooms are decorated with sand and surf themed furnishings. There are even beach ball pillows on the bed!

Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel

This hotel is the lowest priced one on property, which is why it qualifies for the lowest Disney Armed Forces Salute room discount percentage.

Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel

At 360 to 400 square feet the Paradise Pier rooms are average size for on property, comparable to the Grand Californian and smaller than the Disneyland Hotel.

The Paradise Pier Hotel has 481 regular rooms and 29 suites.

The hotel is separated from the main Disneyland Resort area by Disneyland Drive so you’ll feel just a little removed from the action.

Location

The Paradise Pier Hotel is located on the west side of Disneyland property, on the far side of Disneyland Drive from the rest of the resort.

Transportation

All Disneyland guest areas can be reached by walking.

Paradise Pier Disney California Back Gate

Paradise Pier Disney California Back Gate

Paradise Pier guests have a back entrance into Disney’s California Adventure just like the Grand Californian guests do. In years past, Paradise Pier guests would walk across the street to the Grand Californian, enter the lobby and use the same back entrance that the Grand Californian guests do. But not any more. Paradise pier guests have their own California Adventure entrance. You’ll still cross the street as if you were going to the Grand Californian, but rather that going through the security gate and into the lobby, you’ll see a separate security gate to the right. After using your room key to go through the gate, a path will take you around the right side of the Grand Californian to a security check point, then to the entrance which enters the park to the right of Goofy’s Sky School.

Our Thoughts

The Paradise Pier was the first Disneyland resort that we ever stayed at. We had a theme park view room and loved it for the great view of Disney California Adventure. Keep in mind half of the rooms or non-theme park views i.e. a parking lot or pool views. Paradise pier is the least convenient Disneyland resort hotel as it is located across the street from the main Disneyland area. Of the three Disneyland hotels it also has the least number of restaurants and lounges.

It is the lowest price point at Disneyland and we would stay there again.
