Fantastic hotel with big clean rooms and great location for Disney. We checked in through and were able to unlock our hotel door on the Disneyland App. The process was simple and smooth, we did have an issue with the gates around the property though as the app wouldn’t work so we visited the main reception in the Fantasy Tower and they provided a card key. The reception was very polite and apologetic and it only took a few minutes to sort out. Apparently there is a slight issue with the app where that can happen with App check in. We had the Deluxe Studio - Preferred View room in the new Villas at Disneyland Hotel DVC Tower overlooking the pool. The room itself is very spacious, clean and modern. Simply can’t fault the room in any way, all the little things like sockets and mirrors the room had in abundance. The room was decorated with a few nods to Princess and the frog, the room came with a fully fitted kitchen and large dining area. There’s a couch which folds out into an extra bed and a separate bedroom with a bathroom ensuite in addition to the regular bathroom in the room. The room also has an outdoor Balcony with seats and an outdoor table where you can see the large pool area. The hotel does consist of 4 towers and the footprint of the hotel is quite large so can seem busy at times however it is very well laid out and there are plenty of sections filled with bits to explore and it consists of a few food and drink locations to take advantage of such as Goofys Kitchen which is the character dining location, Tangaroa Terrace which is the outdoor quick service restaurant, Trader Sam’s Tiki Bar, Palm Breeze bar and The Coffee House(which was being renovated while we were there). We visited Trader Sam’s which was great and on par with its East Coast counterpart. One place on property we were disappointed with though was Terrce, we Moblie Ordered our food in order to take it back to the room and were told to collect our food as it was ready for pick up only to wait another 35 minutes in the restaurant for the food to be ready. All the while people came in and ordered at the counter the same food and got it within 5-10 minutes. Pretty frustrating and a bit of a let down so I would probably advise to go in and order instead of using the app. However the hotel is next to downtown Disney, less than 5 minutes walk, so this can allow you to pop over and grab food from any of the outlets there in no time at all which we did a few times and something I would recommend. If you are staying in the area I would 100% recommend and you would not be disappointed. I think you could stay just a few nights and enjoy downtown Disney and the hotel facilities without going to the parks and have a great time. It wasn’t just a great Disney hotel but an excellent hotel full stop and even non fans of Disney would be delighted to stay in it.
