I don't think you're going to get much of a view of Disneyland, even with a Resort view. You can see more of DCA and Downtown Disney.

Are disneyland hotel guests still offered early entry on the early entry days?

Upper Level Resort / Pool View:
View of the Never Land Pool complex or Downtown Disney

Standard View Room: Views of Orange County/LA Area

Theme Park View would be in the direction of DL park but not looking into the park.

I was told that you need to check with the front desk when you arrive at check-in. Apparently there is no set early entry days for onsite guests. It may be offered or it may not be while you are there.

You will have one early entry if you purchase a multiday DL park hopper ticket of 3 days or more.

You would have to request an Upper Level Resort/Pool View and request a view of the DL park. This is not guranteed and on a request basis. You will only be able to see the tops of taller rides; you will not be able to see in to the park.

Prices for your travel dates:
Upper Level Resort/Pool View $408 per night, includes tax
Resort/Pool View: $397, per night, includes tax (floors 3 through 6)
Standard Room: $345, per night, includes tax

Does GCH have any views of the park?

^Views of DCA (you're right next to it, literally), but not really Disney. No hotel on property gives a direct view into Disney, save for the taller rides.

If you book concierge level at Disneyland Hotel you are almost assured to get a downtown disney view room on the 10th or 11th floor of the Sierra (now called Dreams) tower. This is the Tower offering the best possible view of Disneyland. The concierge level room will also allow you access into the exclusive lounge, which faces the same direction and from which the nightly Fireworks can be viewed w/ piped in accompanying music while you are all warm n' cozy in your jammies sipping hot cocoa and nibbling pastries....concierge level rooms run about $120 more per night. But if utilized, WELL worth the price.

i am planning a trip in july and i am thinking about either staying at the DLH or GCH. If i stay at the DLH, i want a room with a view of disneyland. What are the rooms at GCH like, what kind of views for the different rooms that is listed on the website. Who has stayed at these hotels? and how was your room. Would you prefer DLH or GCH? Total trip is 4 nights so probably either 3 or 2 nights at CCI and 2 nights at either DLH or GCH. what are the rates of the GCH? If stayed at DLH what tower and what kind of view. same with GCH. any additional information will help. i also don't want to spend no more than 450 per night at DLH or GCH. thanks
