I recently had the absolute magic of visiting Disneyland for their 70th Anniversary Celebration, and it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. From the nostalgic touches to the new surprises sprinkled throughout the parks, Disneyland continues to prove why it’s called The Happiest Place on Earth. The only thing that tops that magic? Staying right in the middle of it.
While visiting I had the chance to explore the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel, and let me tell you… if you’re looking for the perfect blend of Disney charm and upscale accommodations, THIS is where dreams come true.
From enchanted theming to spacious living, these rooms truly have it all. With accommodations designed for groups of 2 to 12, there’s something here for everyone. Plus, you get all the incredible perks of staying onsite including being just steps away from the Disneyland Theme Parks, preferred access to dining reservations, the convenience of room charge privileges, access to four beautiful pools, and even the chance to spot a few surprise Disney characters roaming the resort. Another bonus is early entry into the parks 30 minutes prior to opening through January 4, 2026. Beginning January 5, 2026, this benefit will transform into a Lightning Lane entry, giving you access to one Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction during your stay. It’s the perfect way to make the most of your Disneyland experience while enjoying the convenience and magic that only comes with staying right in the heart of it all.
And while those perks alone are my top reasons to stay onsite, the 1-Bedroom villas are my Roman Empire. I swear, the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was done for. There’s just something about the way Disney blends luxury and storytelling here that makes them impossible to resist. Whether you’re planning a cozy getaway for two or bringing the whole family along for an unforgettable adventure, the Villas at the Disneyland Hotel offer the perfect balance of home-like comfort and Disney storytelling that makes every moment of your stay just as memorable as your time walking down main street.
The 1-Bedroom Villa comfortably sleeps up to five guests and is designed to give you space to truly unwind after long park days. Inside, you’ll find a full-size kitchen with modern appliances, perfect for whipping up breakfast before rope-drop or late-night snacks after fireworks. The dining area flows into the open-concept living room, where cozy seating and Disney-inspired touches make you feel right at home. You have two pull down options here: a single child bed and a double perfect for the kids to unwind and watch those Disney classics.
Parents can rejoice in comfort and privacy when they step inside the bedroom. There a plush king-size bed awaits in luxurious linens so soft you’ll feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Nods to Disney storytelling, whether from Princess and the Frog or Fantasia, are woven into the décor, creating a perfect balance between whimsical charm and elevated style.
If the bedroom doesn’t make you fall in love, the bathroom will seal the deal. The 1-Bedroom Villa bathroom feels like you're stepping into your own Disney spa. With a double vanity, luxurious soaking tub, and a spa-inspired walk-in shower, it’s the perfect space to relax and recharge after a long day of adventures. Trust me, a bubble bath will call your name.
While these rooms are considered Disney Vacation Club (DVC) accommodations, don’t worry your Marvelous Mouse Travels agent can still secure a reservation for you most of the time! These villas book up quickly thanks to their stunning design, unbeatable amenities, and prime location, but with the right planning from your travel agent, your dream Disneyland stay is absolutely within reach.
