A Great, Big, Beautiful Welcome to planDisney, Retha! I'm so happy you're here!
It sounds like you are planning the ultimate
holiday celebration to visit Disneyland Resort with your group next month! I love to see families and loved ones gathering in 'The Happiest Place on Earth' especially during the merriest season of all! It'll be the gift of a lifetime to make unforgettable memories together.
I inquired about the maximum capacity in the largest units with a full-size kitchen which are located in the
Villas at Disneyland Hotel and the
Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. In this case, the 3 Bedroom Grand Villas sleep a maximum of 12 adults plus 1 infant. However, there are a few standard 3 bedroom suites at each of the
three Disneyland Resort Hotels that have a larger max capacity (up to 13 or 14 adults), but may not have the full kitchen amenities. Another option is to inquire about the signature suites at each of the Disneyland Resort hotel properties, which often include full-size kitchens and may have capacity of up to 13 Guests. Reserving one of these signature suites should be done by phone by calling the
Hotel Reservations line to speak to a Cast Member.
Retha, you might also consider splitting your travel party's reservations across two different rooms or units in order to accommodate your 13 total Guests. In the past, my family has done this by reserving a 2 Bedroom plus a Studio, or some other combination that works best for your group. Then, I typically call the hotel directly within 10 days of our arrival date so that they can place a note on our reservation with a request to place our rooms next to, or very near one another. Room requests are not always guaranteed, but I have had great success with this strategy and Cast Members are always willing to help!
Whatever you decide, Retha, I still recommend that you
call and speak with a Cast Member by phone about your travel party's accommodation needs. It's possible that they can assist with finding the perfect Resort Room, Suite, Villa, or combination of rooms that would perfectly suit your group. I've always found their assistance to be really helpful when planning to visit Disneyland Resort with my large, extended family!
One last tip before I go. Did you know that you can
request grocery delivery from your preferred retailer to be delivered to your Disneyland Resort Hotel? Feeding that many people is always a priority in our family, so we often have our favorite food, beverage, and household items delivered on our arrival date. You can either meet the grocery delivery service in the lobby to receive your items or ask Bell Services to hold them for you until you arrive and get settled in your room.
I hope your visit is full of magic, wonder, and inspiration this holiday season as you experience all the
seasonal offerings at Disneyland Resort! If we can help with any other recommendations as you approach your arrival, or whenever the need arises, please feel welcome to send us another question here at
planDisney. We'd love to see you again.
Magically yours,
Tishra
