    Hi. Planning to take my son to the parks for his second birthday in March 2025. Do I need to be a DVC member to book the villas at Disneyland Resort? Also, if I stay there, do I get the normal perks of staying at one of the Disney hotels? Thanks!

    Hello, Bailey! Welcome to planDisney.

    As a fellow mama, I am so happy to help you with your question today. I can't think of a better place to celebrate your son's second birthday than at the Disneyland Resort!

    You will be happy to learn that you do not need to be a DVC Member to book a room at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Not only that, but you will also receive the same great benefits of staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, such as Early Entry to the parks.

    The Villas at Disneyland Hotel was opened last year and is a magical addition to the Disneyland Hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated and inspired by Disney storytelling. As a DVC property, the rooms feature a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, and beverage cooler. The pool area is perfect for families--there is even a Steamboat Willie Splash Pad, your little one will love it! My favorite part of the pool area, however, is the dining! You must check out the pool menu and the Palm Breeze Bar during your vacation.

    To celebrate your son's birthday, consider booking a Character Dining experience. There are various options available: Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel, Mickey's Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa (my favorite), and Minnie & Friends -- Breakfast in Park at Disneyland Park. You can make reservations online or via the Disneyland App. Since your son is under three years old, he can share from an adult's plate at no additional charge. 

    Bailey, I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions, please visit us again. I wish you the happiest stay!

    Your Pal,
    Alejandra
