I was here when I was very little, but I wanted very much to post my comment: Too many reviews are taking a little thing that's not a big deal. Too noisy, that's a lil' silly. Young children are excited. Ok, so if your toilet is backed up, call for attendence. No big deal. Don't let something small get in the way of the fun. You're in DISNEYLAND!!! Have some fun! As for goes the Disney Hotel, I am really excited to come! I was here when I was 6 or 7.... I am now coming back ito visit Disneyland Hotel in Sept 2008 and I am 29 years old. I was looking at all the pictures from other people whom have stayed here and I love the mickey hands holding the light in the bathroom, the blanket on the bed with the area's of the parks, the condiments in the bathroom, and looking forward to my pool view room, which hopefully is what I dreamed of. :-P Woowoo! LOL Thanks Walt Disney! I am such an absolute Disney fan to the T!

My last visit to the Disneyland Hotel was in 1996 and at that time, it was a beautiful property. I wondered if anything had changed in 12 years. We arrived early, around 1 pm, and the front desk cast member, greeted me with "Hi, how are you?" I said "please tell me that you have a room ready for me." Megan said that the room assigned to us was not ready, but she checked with the room assignment desk and they were able to get me into a room, King bed in the Dreams tower, as I requested. The room was beautiful, I loved the Disney bedspread, very subtle Disney, not bold Mickey Mouse. The room had a free refrigerator, free internet access, free coffee in the lobby. Our view was of the Neverland Pool, but we didn't spend much time in the room so view was not important. This was my husband's first time in Disneyland, California and so he was impressed. There were some negatives, although some not the fault of the hotel. The monorail, which was the main reason I chose the Disneyland Hotel, didn't run one of the days of our stay; the first night the monorail service was erratic at best. Of course, the monorail is no longer touted as a resort transportation benefit, it's a Tomorrowland attraction. Because of medical reasons, I do have problems walking too far, and we did have to walk to the California Adventure Park, but it wasn't too bad and there were places that you could sit in Downtown Disney District if needed. I do wish that all Disneyland resort hotels would provide tram service to the theme parks, but because of Downtown Disney, I don't know how feasible that would be. Back to the Disneyland Hotel, housekeeping was always timely, the room was always cleaned up by the time we got back to the hotel, whether it was early or late afternoon. The room amenities were of better quality than many, cast members are friendly and you do feel welcomed there. My only complaints: They close everything, food, sundries, gift shop at 10pm, so when the park closes at midnight and you get back to your room, you'd better have already purchased any food or beverages beforehand. You can't even get room service after 10pm. Maybe I'm spoiled living in Las Vegas where the hotels have services 24/7. The other problem we had was with the room itself. Because of how the airconditioner is situated, the condensation caused the carpet on one side of the bed to be soaked. I called housekeeping the first morning, and nothing was done. I called guest services the second morning because at this point, we had to put our bath towels down on the floor, or step into sopping carpet when you get off the bed. Again, nothing was done. Finally, I called the front desk the third morning and they offered to change my room, which did not make sense considering we were leaving the next day. I just asked that they send someone to please wet vac it and check the A/C unit. They did send maintenance to check the unit, but no wet vac until I called again. Before we went back to Disneyland for our final night, I stopped at the front desk to speak to someone in person. The front desk cast member apologized and said that they will make it right. They did give me a credit to my bill for $75, and I do appreciate Disney's commitment. to exceed guest expectations. Would I stay here again - most definitely, we're going back in December.

Okay--so I read alot about this hotel and wasn't sure if I made the best choice of a Disney property.We arrived around 11:00 a.m. and was told to come back at 3:00 p.m. to get room keys. Returned at that time--room still not ready--3:15, 3:30, 3:45 (now I'm getting anxious--kids are tired, etc.) A very nice front desk agent calls housekeeping and finds out that our room is ready; however she had also offered us a complimentary upgrade from a Regal Suite to a "themed suite". She took us to the suite personally for us to decide which room we wanted. As soon as the kids saw the Mickey Mouse themed bedroom (twin beds) & bathroom, they were sold, and so were we. The other bedroom had 2 queen beds. We ended up with 2 bedrooms and more importantly 2 bathrooms for 4 adults & 2 children. Our suite was in the Dreams Building which is very close to the Monorail. We paid $650+ per night for these accommodations--not really sure it was worth that, but the location is very good. Room service breakfast was around $80. All in all--we had a good time, albeit an expensive one.

This was a great trip, we completely enjoyed ourselves. Although the hotel is expensive we felt as though we were paying for convenience, we had two teenagers and a toddler, so having the option of going back to the room during nap time and being close to the park while letting the teenagers do their own things worked out perfect. We stayed in the Dreams tower and it was very nice, seemed updated, clean and with 5 people in your family it was wonderful having the toilet behind it's own door and still having bathroom access, I know seems silly.

The staff was also very nice, everyone seemed so happy. My husband even forgot his wedding ring on the bathroom counter, (oh the horror), well I thought for sure it was a goner. When I called the hotel the day after we checked out they had the ring in lost and found, I was truly shocked and two days later the hotel staff had sent it to my house in Arizona. Now that's service.

If you have younger kids definetly do the character breakfast at Goofy's kitchen, we made reservations for 7am, (I know early), but there was hardly anyone there and the kids got lots of attention from the characters. So worth it!!!!!!! Memories they will never forget.

I would stay here again, it's pricey but if you like convenience and the entire Disney ambiance then this hotel is for you, if you don't care about any of that then I would suggest off property, but with kids I wouldn't do it any other way.
