I'd love to know at the end of your trip if you think the extra cost was worth it and how you used the amenities!
Have a great time!!!
It's been a couple of weeks (post-trip blues), but we really liked the
Disneyland Hotel. We were able to upgrade from a king bed DTD view in Adventure Tower to the same view but added club level for $59 (!!!) per night for the two of us at Check-in. I don't know if the number of people influenced the price. The one thing to mention was the room was TINY. If you look at the floor plan on the door, you can see some of the rooms have space taken away for CM elevators. That was the case with us. We would NOT ask for a king room again! For the two of us it was fine, but easily 1/3 of the room was lost, if not more. The bed was comfortable though.
We ended up using the lounge for breakfast every day except one, and the selection was great. Just the smoked salmon alone was probably worth a bunch of the cost back.
the lattes we had every morning saved us from Starbucks trips, and I had a second one every afternoon. We only had the evening apps twice, but they were very good. The desserts we had a bunch, and we really liked those, and it saved us from buying desserts at the restaurants every night. We're not big drinkers (just one big glass of Chardonnay one night), so we didn't save much money there, but you easily could. One table all had mimosas one morning that looked great. I had non alcoholic mimosas every morning. Well, okay, just OJ.
overall for the convenience it was definitely worth it for us. I would've done it again for that price without question. For the $200 per night pre-arrival cost, its much harder to say. If we had a few kids, then maybe!
Oh, we also refilled our water bottles with the filtered water spigot in the lounge a few times, which saved us from buying about half the bottles we would have.
Staff and grounds and the room cleanliness and everything were all great. No complaints at all. Check-in person (Holly) even got a guest relations email mention from us because she was sooo nice!
The burgers at the quick service place were really good. Goofy's was good for a character meal (not bad food, really fun character interactions), but Steakhouse 55 underwhelmed us compared to Napa Rose the night before.
Overall would definitely recommend.
