The Enchanting Anaheim Disneyland Hotel

Disneyland Hotel's history

Looking at the three tall towers which comprise the Anaheim Disneyland Hotel of today, it's hard to believe that the Disneyland Hotel began its "life" as a small, flat, motel-looking type structure. My, how times have changed...and for the better!

The Disneyland Hotel today is a lush oasis of waterfalls, plants, blooming flower gardens, and topiary sculptures of mascot Mickey Mouse and his friend Goofy. The 3 tall towers of today's Disneyland Hotel now hold over 900 guest rooms and suites, and the grounds now boast a number of eating establishments, from the quick-bite to the classy.

On this page, we'll talk about the interesting possibilities that await you if you stay at the Disney Hotel in Anaheim, California.

Amenities at Anaheim's Disneyland Hotel

The hotel grounds are green and lovely, and a beautiful garden that's fun simply to stroll about and admire. For those who have more in mind than simply strolling, however, you'll find plenty of activities awaiting you.

Two swimming pools await you at the Disneyland Hotel of Anaheim. One is the famous "Never Land Pool," decorated with a Peter Pan theme...complete with Captain Hook's pirate ship! Also for those seeking physical activity, there's a sandy "beach" area where you can play volleyball...or, for a more serious workout, you can use the state-of-the-art exercise center at the Disneyland Hotel.

Love to shop? At the Disneyland Hotel, you'll enjoy browsing through 2 cute gift shops near the registration desk of the hotel lobby. You'll find all the merchandise you want to buy for gifts---and souvenirs that you'll want for yourself and your family. Merchandise includes Disneyland and Disney Character-themed clothing for all ages, plush animals, postcards, mugs, jewelry, etc. You'll know you're at Disneyland Park before you even head towards your hotel room! A free-standing gift shop awaits you in the midst of the hotel's garden-like grounds, as well.

All rooms have room service available, plus refrigerators, voice mail, irons/boards, hair dryers and safes right in each room. Standard rooms come with either one king or two queen-sized beds; suites up to 3 Bedrooms in size are available. There is a special "Concierge Level" for guests who'd like even more plush surroundings and extra pampering.

Restaurants at the Anaheim Disneyland Hotel

Hands down, it's got to be "Goofy's Kitchen." At Goofy's Kitchen, you and your children can enjoy one of the famous Disney Character Meals. Chef Goofy is sure to be there, along with other costumed characters, such as The Mad Hatter or Mickey's dog, Pluto.

Meals served at the Goofy's Kitchen Restaurant are all-you-can-eat buffet style. The particular selections of food rotate daily so that hotel guests won't bore of the menu. However, there are certain dishes that you'll be sure to find.

For breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen, you'll always find a selection of egg dishes---scrambled eggs and made-before-your-eyes omelet combos being 2 of the most popular. Then, there will always be a rotation of types of pancakes, waffles, French toast and cereals, plus a smorgasbord of muffins, sweet rolls and croissants. You'll find plenty of fresh fruit, both whole and sliced, to give you that "healthy feeling," as well.

At Lunch and Dinner, you'll find a wide array of dishes---chicken, beef and fish selections, Mexican dishes, pastas/lasagnes, and that kid-favorite, pizza. There will be all types of veggies and potatoes to accompany the meal, along with a salad bar, fruit bar, and a top-your-own-baked-potato bar.

The dessert area has still another full array of choices, ranging from hot deserts, such as cobblers, bread pudding and dessert crepes, to cold treats, such as the soft-serve yogurt. Of course, there will be a selection of cakes, cookies and brownies, as well. Naturally, a selection of hot and cold beverages come with the buffet meal at Goofy's Kitchen, as well.

On the other hand, what's the most ELEGANT restaurant at the Anaheim Disneyland Hotel? It's Granville's Steak House. You can find quite a large selection of steaks and beef (eg. prime rib) here, as well as chicken, fish and lobster(!)

Granville's Steak House is also your most expensive dining choice on the Disneyland Hotel property...with entrees running to $35, not including appetizers, drinks or dessert. You will, however, be rewarded with excellent food and a fine, upscale ambiance. Notably, kid's meals are reasonably priced at $6--7 (with the children's prime rib plate several dollars more.) In other words, as far as the kids are concerned, you'll pay no more for them to dine with you than you would at any casual restaurant in town!

Breakfast is also served at Granville's Steak House. You'll find all the "standards" here...egg dishes, cereals, pancakes (including "Mickey" pancake for kids!) and French toast.


Still another fine dining restaurant at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim is Hook's Pointe. Mesquite grilled entrees are their specialty. Beef, pork, chicken, fish and shell fish dishes, as well as pasta entrees, are offered here. As at Granville's Steak House, the Kid's Meals are reasonably priced, around $6, with several selections offered.

Map of the Disneyland Hotel area in Anaheim, California---
The Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim is located adjacent to Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney Anaheim. Although the address for the Disneyland Hotel is actually on Magic Way, the street you'll need to find is Disneyland Drive...which connects with the major Anaheim streets of Katella (on the south) and Ball Road (on the north.) Also, note that you'll find Disneyland Drive called "West Street" on older maps. This segment of West Street was re-named Disneyland Drive in 2001.

Don't worry about getting lost...once you've made it onto Disneyland Drive, your eyes will guide you straight to the Disneyland Hotel---the hotel's tall towers stand right out!

Have you made the decision to stay at the Disneyland Hotel for your accommodations while in Anaheim? If so, then you'll certainly want to check out the Disneyland Hotel's official web pages if you're seriously interested in making plans to stay at this fine hotel. The Disney folks have quite a lovely presentation for you at the Disneyland.com site. To find the Disneyland Hotel pages on this website, you'll want to skip past the main page of the site, which has all sorts of general information...from theme park activities to the resort's "latest news." To skip directly to the Disneyland Hotel info, you may use the following link to see the Disneyland Hotel section of the Disneyland.com website.

While you're at the hotel's official site, you may check the list of Disneyland Hotel's room rates. As you'll quickly notice, room rates at the Disneyland Hotel vary widely. Having a beautiful view of the Never Land Pool and courtyard greenery is going to cost quite a bit more than having a view of the parking lots (tactfully called a "city view" on the site!) You'll also notice that room rates vary a great deal depending on whether or not your trip will be during the school year...or if it will be during the summer vacation time or a major holiday period. You'll also be able to discover rates for Disneyland Hotel packages which include theme park tickets in the deal, as well.
