Hi there Melinda,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a question here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm thrilled to hear you will be visiting The Happiest Place on Earth!
You are going to love staying in a Disneyland Resort Hotel - where the Disney magic never ends! We have stayed at all three Disneyland Resort Hotels and love them all. You can request adjoining rooms at all three Disneyland Resort Hotels. It is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at time of your check-in.
If you are wanting to stay at the Disneyland Resort Hotels, for a party of 8, you would need to book either a Suite or two separate rooms. The standard room at each Disneyland Resort Hotel will hold a maximum of 5 Guests. Just know there will need to be an at least one Adult in each room. In addition to the 3 Disneyland Resort Hotels, there are many excellent Good Neighbor Suite Properties to choose that can accommodate a larger party. Once you book your magical vacation, notes are added requesting the connecting or adjoining rooms.
We prefer to stay at a Disney Resort Hotel because of the perks; not only are you staying in the Disney magic, but Guests staying at any of the three Disneyland Hotels may take advantage of
Extra Magic Hour each day of their stay at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park. I recommend you call a Disneyland Reservation Specialist at (714) 520-5060.
I hope this helps and that you have a pixie-dusted time on your next visit. If you have any more questions, please visit us here and let us know how we can help you plan your magical vacation.
Wishing y'all a Silly Symphonies time!
~ Lynette
