Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, Lisa!
Welcome to planDisney! Your question made me so happy for a couple of reasons. First, my awesome friends, Panelists Michelle and Keri, did a fantastic podcast episode about
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, which just opened last year. I’ll be sure to link that episode below for you!
Plus, my little one and I recently checked out the new palette-shaped pool and the Steamboat Willie splash pad, and
Oh boy!, you’re in for a treat!
So Lisa, since The Villas are a special
Disney Vacation Club tower of the Disneyland Hotel, there is not a direct footpath to the theme parks. But don’t worry—Disneyland Monorail has been connecting the
Disneyland Hotel to the Disneyland Park for decades! It’s a less than 5-minute walk from the hotel’s lobby to the Monorail gates, and then it's an easy glide directly into
Tomorrowland. It’s one of my toddler’s favorite things to do in the world!
As for the
pools at the Disneyland Hotel, you won’t be disappointed.
Princess Moana would be right at home with all the options. You've seen the
all-new splash pad themed after 'Steamboat Willie', and the
Palette Pool is a serene retreat tucked behind the
Palm Breeze Bar, and as a Disneyland Hotel guest, you'll have full access to this area. I also loved the newly renovated E-Ticket Pool area.
I hope this gets you even more excited about your stay, Lisa! The Disneyland Hotel is such a magical place with a rich history. If you get a chance, check out the "Behind the Attraction" episode about it on
Disney+. If you need
more tips or have more questions, just
give me a shout– I’m here to help.
See ya real soon,
Danielle
