Not sure which hotel is best for your travel party? Join us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts to hear panelists Amanda D. and Prince S. break down the offerings at each hotel – from theming and room types to dining and recreation.
Why Stay at Disneyland Resort?
Staying at one of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort is the key to maximizing the magic. Amanda loves that all three hotels are a quick walk to and from the theme parks and the Downtown Disney District, making it easy and convenient to get around with her little ones.
For Prince, it’s all about early entry!* Entering a designated theme park 30 minutes early allows him to get a head start on his day at the park and experience select attractions and more before the park opens to day guests.
Tune into the podcast to hear about even more special perks for hotel guests, and check out the events calendar to see what activities and entertainment offerings are happening during your visit.

Celebrate Disneyland Past and Present at Disneyland Hotel
If you love Disney parks history like Prince, you’ll love staying at Disneyland Hotel! The panelists share how this hotel pays homage to the classic years of Disneyland park, from whimsical rooms and suites down to the Monorail-themed slides and the E-Ticket pool.
