    I will be staying at a Good Neighbor hotel this summer (Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area) will I be charged an incidental fee by Disney or through the hotel?

    Hiya, Ashley, and welcome to planDisney!

    It’s great that you’re looking to stay at one of Disneyland’s Good Neighbor Hotels! My family and I love staying at these properties when we visit because it helps us leave extra room in our budget for our snacking plans. I’ll be happy to clarify this for you!

    While the Disneyland Resort has a partnership with each Good Neighbor Hotel, they are not owned or operated by Disney. As a result, any charges will be issued directly through the hotel. The incidental hold amount can vary depending on where you're staying. I recommend reaching out to Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area directly to ensure that you are prepared. 

    Bonus Tip: Did you book your stay as part of a Vacation Package? If so, you’re in for some extra pixie dust during your stay at Sonesta! For each adult purchase of an entree, one child can receive a free entree from the kids’ menu at the hotel’s restaurant, The Burger Place. The child must be 5 years of age or younger.

    Ashley, I hope this information was helpful and that you enjoy your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! If you have any additional questions as you plan your vacation, please come back and see us again here at planDisney.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
