The Villas at Disneyland Hotel

Classic Disneyland magic in a premium villa setting, steps from the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

The Villas at Disneyland Hotel opened in September 2023 as the second DVC property at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, joining the older Villas at the Grand Californian. The Villas occupy a brand-new 12-story tower (the Discovery Tower) built adjacent to the original Disneyland Hotel, paying homage to the resort's mid-century roots while introducing modern DVC inventory to West Coast members and visitors.

Location is the headline feature: the Villas at Disneyland Hotel sit a roughly 10-minute walk from the entrance of Disneyland Park, with the route taking guests through Downtown Disney — Anaheim's pedestrian dining and shopping district. There is no monorail, bus, or shuttle required, and unlike Walt Disney World there are no toll bridges or vast parking lots between you and the park gates. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park are both accessible from the same security entry plaza.

Room inventory at the Villas at Disneyland Hotel includes Deluxe Studios (some with one queen + one queen pull-down bed), 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom villas, plus a small selection of E-Ticket-themed Premium View villas with views of Disneyland's nighttime fireworks. The tower also has a spectacular E-Ticket Lounge for DVC members, with stunning rooftop views of the resort and Anaheim skyline. The Villas share all amenities with the broader Disneyland Hotel campus — three pools, the Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, and quick-service options.
