The Disneyland Hotel Superthread

So even though the room won't be ready, we can show up very early to the hotel and they will issue us a room key that we can use to enter EMH? I guess I'm puzzled because it's an actual room key, unlike WDW where it's a magic band that they just activate when your room is ready.
Each room key has the name of the guest and the stay dates printed. Not sure what system they use, but the key itself is supposed to be presented for EMH and maybe parking?

Not sure what the key system is. Most magnetic stripe card keys have a code that sets the expiration dates and are designed to lock out the previous guest keys once used. But those have to be programmed for the room number. The WDW procedure is to use Magic Bands.

Of course you can ask when you get there. I’d think you would need to return to get it programmed for the room number.
 


Doing a girls trip to DL in March and first stay at disneyland hotel. Have booked a concierge floor and wanted to ask if concierge will call or send email (which is what has been done when we have stayed at wdw concierge) TIA!

I don't know if they do, haven't heard of anyone mentioning that here. I wish you lots of fun and hope you take lots of pics, especially of the E ticket club (all the food for us food porn junkies). :flower1:
 
Stayed in Fantasy and Adventure. I can’t really say one was better than the other though if I had to choose would probably do Adventure.
 


Definitely agree with Adventure or Fantasy with slight nod to Adventure. We had Frontier last visit and I wasn’t a fan of the extra walking back to that tower. Is it really THAT much farther? No, not really, but having to walk sort of past Fantasy and then right past Adventure...and then keep walking was annoying. We also had to go back and forth between our car in self parking a couple times during our stay and that seemed like it took forever, especially toting some bags.
 
There is now a notice on the Disneyland Hotel website from February 2 through Winter 2020 the Disneyland Hotel will be undergoing refurbishment and construction. Construction noise will not start until 9am and some guest rooms will not be available. I tried to call for more info because I have a trip in April but the the agent said they only see what is posted online. Tried calling the hotel and got the same information.

Has anyone heard anything? Is this a full scale hotel refurbishment or some Tangaroa Terrace style construction project?
 
First of Feb through winter 2020? Sounds like a decent sized project. I'm sorry I don't know what it's about, but I also don't buy the line that no one knows anything except what's posted online. The hotel is undergoing something that takes rooms out of commission in a week and goes through the end of the year but no one at the hotel knows why? I could possibly see that the CMs answering the phones have been told not to give out info, but I don't buy the idea that they only know what's posted.

100% I don’t buy it either but I cannot get anymore info. I tried asking on Twitter and they told me to call. Told them very politely I called and there was no more info when I called, that somebody at Disneyland had to know what was happening so I hoped the Twitter team could help me. DL Today ghosted me at that point lol.

The duration of project and mention of rooms being unavailable are what concerned me this could be a big type refurb and that is not something I want to deal with on my trip...
 
Isn't the rumour it's the building of a new DVC tower? Although I don't know why this would take existing rooms out of commission, unless they don't want rooms occupied directly next to the building site?

They want to build a DVC tower. Permits haven't even been approved by the City yet.

But if they really want it to look nice they should update the rest of the DLH property, it needs it... I just want clarity on how what they're doing my affect my vacation. Fat chance I know.

But they just submitted plans for that for approval. I do not know how long that takes, but seems like Feb is way too soon for that! But that was my first thought as well. Hmmm🤔
 
Sounds like they have to relocate the DLH laundry and fitness center once the DVC tower is under construction. The new tower may not even be approved yet, but that doesn't necessarily stop them from starting to move the fitness/laundry facility in preparation for tower construction.

Perhaps they are removing/reconfiguring some rooms to add laundry/fitness to an existing area of the hotel, assuming that the fitness/laundry for DLH guests would not be built into the new DVC tower.

Or maybe they have to fix some plumbing, who knows.
 
Disneyland has a refurb warning up online from Feb through Winter 2020, chat told me it’s a soft refurb (NO idea if they are reliable!). If anyone stays at DLH in the next few months please update with any construction you see or hear about. There aren’t even any rumors as to what this entails so post away if you get anything concrete from being onsite :)
 
Depending on how you read the alert, it's possible "Winter 2020" could either end in March of 2020 or March of 2021. So information on the duration of the project would also be helpful.
