Disneyland Hotel July 2022

 

Although we visit Disneyland every year, the last time we stayed in the Disneyland Hotel was 2017 just because it is so crazy expensive. We love the location and the ability to walk through Downtown Disney on the way to and from the Hotel to trade pins, but staying across the street on Harbor Blvd can save us a few thousand dollars on our trip.so that is what we normally do. 

We were excited this year to try out the new water slides which weren't there the last time we stayed. Here's a look at our stay in pictures:

Here's our first look at the Disneyland Hotel as we pulled into the parking lot. This is the Fantasy Tower where you check in.

After checking in, we grabbed our bags and headed to our room which was in the Fantasy Tower this year. (in 2017 we stayed in the Frontier Tower).

We found our room and looked inside...

And here's a video of our room that I took from my Youtube channel:

Here's a look at the pool area with construction on the new Disney Vacation Club Tower being built. The slides were very well themed but nothing special to slide down.

And here's a view from the other direction.

Here's a closer look at the waterslides. You go up 3 flights of stairs to get to the lower, yellow Monorail slide and another 3 flights of stairs to get to the upper red Monorail slide.

Here's a closer up look of the stairs heading up to the red Monorail.

Although at first my 8 year old was a little apprehensive about trying the red Monorail slide, she eventually did it. Here's a look at the layout of that slide. 

The slide empties into a 4 foot deep pool. The lifeguards hold the next guest in line until the person is all the way out of the pool.

The lower, yellow Monorail slide is very tame and empties into a shallow trough full of water.

We love staying at the Disneyland Hotel when we can afford it. The feeling like you never leave Disney as opposed to having to cross Harbor Blvd and pass homeless people gives an added feel of safety. With that said, although the rooms are nice, the prices are really outrageous for what you get.
