Staying at the New & Improved Disneyland Hotel

Disneyland Hotel – New And Improved!

Usually this just means new packaging. We’re often sold on things that are new and improved that are nothing more than a shining up of the previous product. I should note that I am calling Disneyland Hotel “New and Improved” on my own. To my knowledge Disney themselves haven’t referred to it that way. They will tell you they are a AAA 4-Diamond Award Hotel though… Which I would too, I suppose…

However, in the case of Disneyland Hotel it truly is new and improved with the same charm we’ve always known it to have. Disney truly went in and updated this hotel while maintaining the classic feel.

Disneyland Hotel has undergone major renovations this past few years. From the rooms, to new Suites and the pool. With very few exceptions, the new Disneyland Resort is fresh, fun and a blast to stay at. The first night we stayed in the room, my then 5 year old son went on a exploration of the room and found that when he turned a specific switch on the nightstand the mural on the wall behind us lit up with fireworks. Not only did this surprise us but he found that he could also make music play for us to go to sleep to, not that we could go to sleep after discovering this magic. Matter of fact, I’m pretty sure that we stayed up another hour to play with the fireworks and music. I’m not telling you the song that plays because you need to be surprised too!

Limited Time Magic’s Spring Fling hits Disneyland

Tuesday, March 26, 2013 DisneyDaniel No comments

Spring has hit Disneyland and there are some new Limited Time Magic. Disneyland Spring Fling begins today through March 31st.

Time to get hoppin’ when a well known floppy-eared friend arrives. You can visit the Easter Bunny in the Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A. Of course you’ll be able to pose for pictures when visiting.

Head over to Disney California Adventure park for an Easter Egg Hunt. Russell and Dug have hidden oversized Easter eggs throughout Redwood Creek Challenge trail. There are clues to follow and puzzles to solve all to help you earn your very own Spring Egg-tivity Badge!

With all the Limited Time Magic at Disneyland this year, it’s the Year of the Ear. During the Disneyland Spring fling you can find and get your own Oswald The Lucky Rabbit ear hat. Check into Oswald’s Service Station in Disney California Adventure Park. Get there early so you can get yours!

Lastly, make sure you keep an eye out for a special bunny hop dance on Main Street, U.S.A. starring the Easter Bunny and friends, including the Dapper Dans, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse!

I hope this information has been helpful and fun. Contact me to plan your own trip to Disneyland Spring Fling, or any time you’re ready to visit!

For one week only, from March 18-24, you’ll be able to search for special hidden “eggs” themed to Disney characters at Epcot and at Disney California Adventure park and then record your discoveries on specially themed Eggs-perience park maps.

At Epcot, maps can be purchased at the Heritage Manor in the American Adventure Pavilion, International Gateway, Pin Central and Port of Entry.

And at Disney California Adventure park, you can purchase the map at Elias & Co., Oswald’s, Radiator Springs Curios, Tower Hotel Gifts and Treasures in Paradise.

Each map and set of stickers will cost $4.95, plus tax at select locations. And whether you choose to hunt for eggs or not, return your map to a Port of Entry at Epcot or Elias & Co. at Disney California Adventure park for a surprise.

Maps will be available while supplies last and no discounts apply. You should also know that separate admission is required to enter Disney Theme Parks and the experience is subject to restrictions and change without notice.
