Hi Gemma,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be staying at the
Disneyland Hotel for your vacation. Its mix or proximity and mid-century modern theming make it my favorite resort hotel to stay at.
Earlier this year,
Disney announced a series of hotel renovations that would be taking place. As you mentioned, the E-Ticket Club in the Adventure Tower of the Disneyland Hotel is currently undergoing a magical transformation. During construction, a temporary Concierge Lounge is located on the lobby level of the Frontier Tower for all Club-Level Guests. The lounge is
expected to reopen in its original location this summer, debuting as the High-Key Club! This new Club will continue the mid-century modern feel that the rest of the hotel embraces. While construction can sometimes cause delays, there's a very good chance the new Club-Level lounge will be open in time for your November trip.
I, for one, cannot wait to see the transformation! Before the lounge was renovated, guests were able to watch the fireworks from inside. The lounge broadcasts the accompanying music and dialogue from the show, so we never felt like we were missing out on any of the Disney magic. There were also lots of nighttime desserts to enjoy just before the show; definitely a highlight of my past trips!
Stephanie,
the Holidays Begin at Disneyland on November 14, 2025, and run through January 7, 2026.
The Festival of Holidays will take place during that same time at Disney California Adventure. Hopefully, your trip aligns with this so you can take in all the winter décor. Be sure to check out the gingerbread cookies at
Harbor Galley; they're absolutely delicious! The line for these tasty treats can get long, so use the
Disneyland app to mobile order and skip the wait.
I hope this information was helpful, Gemma! If you have any more questions or need a few extra tips, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little pixie dust on your Disney planning.
Happy planning!
