Hi there, Brena!
Thanks so much for your question! There's nothing better than relaxing at one of the beautiful pools at the Disneyland Resort Hotels, especially after a long day in the parks. Or, seeing your arrival date, perhaps after a big race!
Each of the three Disneyland Resort Hotels has its own pool and recreation area. I chatted with Helen (a Cast Member...or perhaps it was Elastagirl?) this morning and she confirmed for me that each pool area has its own showers available. I even have a friend who used the showers at the brand-new Palate Pool that just opened at the new
Villas at the Disneyland Hotel!
So, are you ready for a swim? Because each hotel has amazing options!
All of the pools at the Disneyland Resort Hotels require guests to wear wristbands (you can get them from the Pool Concierge on the pool deck) and wristbands will only be given to guests staying at that particular hotel. So if swimming is high on your list then you should choose a hotel with a pool that you love! Personally, I'm really wanting to try the colorful new pool at the Disneyland Hotel, so that would probably be my pick.
If you're looking for an extra relaxing day at the pool, you might want to check out the
poolside rentals available! From full cabanas to cozy pods, you can choose the perfect place to hang out for a full or half-day. I'm feeling more relaxed just thinking about it!
Whatever hotel you're staying at, I highly recommend making a reservation (or wandering over to the outdoor bar) to enjoy a drink at
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar! I really love snacking on the Pork Gyoza, and sometimes you can even order right from the pool deck. Cheers!
Brena, your trip is approaching so fast! I hope you're getting excited to visit the Disneyland Resort and see all the new additions like
San Fransokyo Square,
Tiana's Palace, and
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. I know that Walt Disney World has a similar version of that attraction, but the queue of the Disneyland Park version is worth seeing all on its own! Don't miss it!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
