The Disneyland Hotel is a popular choice for many folks over on the West Coast, and it’s about to become even more popular for some!
On September 28th, the Villas at Disneyland Hotel opened its doors — providing 12 stories worth of Disney Vacation Club villas to the hotel. These brand-new rooms will provide an updated space for Disneyland regulars and new visitors alike to relax while they’re away from the parks. The best part? We got to check them out, and believe us when we say that they are STUNNING.
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel have rooms themed to different Disney classics like The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, The Princess and the Frog, Fantasia, and more. Of course, we’re taking you along so that you can check them out, too. Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, let’s talk about some of your options here. There are a variety of room types at the Disneyland Hotel, ranging from a duo studio to a three-bedroom Grand Villa. Here’s a peek at the grand exterior.

How exciting!
Inside the lobby, guests will enter a bright, colorful space full of Disney details. Before we even step inside, we’re already spotting some nods to a few classic Disney attractions. See those Haunted Mansion portraits straight ahead?

Let’s head inside!
The sign located out front gives you a good idea of what to expect. Look out for pretty colors, beautiful art, and lots of Disney details!

First up, let’s check out the lobby.

In keeping with the theme, we spotted lots of nods to Disney movies, like Frozen and Moana.

Of course, we had to see the view from the balcony. We could stay out here alllll day.

The balcony is gigantic!
OK, on to the next area! Of course, no Disney hotel is complete without a POOL! Right near the new tower, you’ll find the brand-new Palette Pool area.

Off to the pool!
We had to include a shout-out to this comically large sign warning guests about the pool water. Don’t drink it.

They wanted to be VERY clear here.
The pool deck has lots of seating and a good amount of umbrellas for a little shade.

There’s lots of seats!
The new pool is nice and large here!

Check out the pool!

Disney revealed that when the sun sets, the splash pad transforms from black-and-white to COLOR.

Pretty hotel but why does Disney insist on these Murphy beds. Does not look comfortable or luxurious for the price you’re paying. Why not just do two queen beds? It seems Disney making smaller rooms to fit more rooms in at a higher price. We’ll try out the two bed hotel room but if it’s too pricey for value then we’ll skip it next time.
Love all the murals. The villas are nice and bright. The villas are very inviting. The pool is nice. Especially like steam boat Willie. Great job ?
Thank you for this super big peek into this new hotel! I love the bright colors and festive mood.
