Ok- so if you've done any reading on the classic Dienyland Hotel thus far you've probably been forewarned about the not so great value of the hotel. It's true-case in point- we paid $350 for a totally average room with a pool view, but that's what you're paying for. We wanted to give our little girl the entire Disney experience so we booked this place for the first night of our stay in So.Cal and truly every penny of the $350 was for the ambience of the pool. It would have been fantastic if the weather was nicer (Memorial Day weekend) but it was still darn great. We LOVED the slides at the pool and the feeling of the disney magic- Ariel Statue at the pool, Character sightings, the feeling of the proximity to the magic I suppouse. I think it's ideal to splurge on one night at the Disney to use the pool every last minute of your stay and then if youre in position to spend this much a night , you can stay in a place much much more luxurious. One major downside was that checkin was at 4 pm in the afternoon, so by the time we arrived the sun was going down, and checout it at 10AM!!! So truly no time to meander around- in other words by the time we went down to relax at the pool and enjoy lunch our room keys were demagnetized to get in to the pool! HA! A nice staff memeber let us in but still not so much with the value- but they're Disney you're paying for the Mouse not the value right?
We definitely considered staying at one of the newer Dland hotels after reading reviews but the pools look like they were not nearly as exciting as the Pirate ship pool etc.
Hint: while we were there there was a pre-teen dance group there. Literally thousands of heavily made up 11 year olds-kind of creepy-anyway in talking with one of the moms she mentioned that they mentioned they were with the group and paid about $200 per night! I wouldnt know how to find out what groups are going to be there but if you can latch on to the room block of some group thats there, and im sure some group is always there, its about a 30% savings.
