2:25
last night when I was checking in you

2:28
through the exit technically you're
2:30
supposed to go up this ramp or past the
2:33
the sorcerer's cap and go over and
2:35
around into the entrance around this way
2:37
I'll kind of show you when I get there
2:39
now from what I've heard and from what
2:41
I'm told I have access to all the pools
2:44
so anything that's in this little
2:45
Courtyard so this pool here this pool
2:47
here have access to sorcerer cap is
2:50
around the corner you got tangaro
2:52
Terrace right here you got Trader Sam's
2:54
right over there I also have access
2:56
later I'll be going down the Montreal
2:57
water slide something I wanted to do for
2:59
a very very long time and I've never
3:01
done there's a pool over there there's a
3:03
pool here there's a little splash pad
3:05
over there the entrance to the new
3:07
Villas is right there and on the other
3:09
side of the Villas is a brand new
3:12
swimming area I love over at the
3:14
frontier Tower they have the waterfall
3:16
from Nature's Wonderland that used to be
3:18
in Disneyland they have the geyser but
3:20
the geyser's not working quite yet it's
3:21
not quite had its piping hot caffeinated
3:23
beverage is what I need to get as well
3:25
so over here is the Villas itself so I'm
3:27
going to walk up showcase the front of
3:29
the Villas when you're walking in and
3:31
the sign and this is like this is the
3:32
main entrance if you will when you're
3:34
walking up to the Villas but one thing I
3:36
noticed when I checked in last night is
3:38
just kind of the nostalgic Vibe of the
3:39
old animations like the classics the new
3:42
stuff too but just definitely that
3:43
classic Vibe when you were first walking
3:45
in and when you walk into the main lobby
3:48
it is just man it is like nostal I W say
3:51
Nostalgia but retro overload when you're
3:53
walking in here all the stuff that is in
3:55
the display cases all the like the way
3:57
the couches are set up and the you know
3:59
the tables all that kind of stuff just
4:01
kind of gives you that nostalgic kind of
4:04
retro I keep saying nostalgic but more
4:05
of like a retro Vibe when you're walking
4:07
in it's almost like a lounge area in the
4:10
main lobby before going up to the rooms
4:13
and the rooms are incredible and the and
4:14
the the the the hallways are just really
4:17
really awesome when I get up to there
4:18
too but the main lobby really kind of
4:20
hits you when you're first walking in
4:21
here and it's like holy cow this is like
4:23
really really well done and I'm really
4:25
happy I I mean I bought quite a few
4:27
points for here so I'll be able to stay
4:28
here every year but kind of tempted to
4:30
already get more points cuz when I come
4:31
to California it would be nice to stay
4:34
on property when I'm doing Disneyland I
4:36
do Universal a lot so it's nice to stay
4:38
right outside Universal but it would be
4:39
really nice to stay at the Disneyland
4:41
Resort I always stay off property I stay
4:43
in bua park and I'll drive down it would
4:44
be nice to be right here in this neck of
4:46
the woods more often when I'm in Anaheim
4:48
this is around the
4:49
side over the top there you see how the
4:52
rooms kind of go up now there is a
4:54
laundry room right inside here and so I
4:56
went in the laundry room and I must say
4:59
really awesome how the laundry room how
5:02
many machines there are cuz I say that
5:04
some resorts where they'll have like two
5:06
dryers and two washing machines there's
5:09
like way more than that there almost
5:10
like a dozen so there's plenty of room
5:13
we don't have to worry about waiting for
5:14
someone to take their clothes out or
5:16
someone else to wash their having to
5:17
keep going back and forth back and forth
5:19
if you don't have an inunit when you
5:21
definitely can it's definitely pretty
5:22
nice to have this amount of them there's
5:24
also something kind of cool on the out
5:26
front I was talking about like the inan
5:27
paint the color palette and all that out
5:29
front they have all these different
5:30
designs and they showed the different
5:32
Hues and coloration of the colors
5:34
different slight differences in colors
5:37
that are used in some of the animated
5:39
films it's kind of neat how they
5:41
pinpoint that so you you understand why
5:44
the coloration is out in front of it in
5:46
the design work going up the side of the
5:49
hotel itself or the Villa section of the
5:51
hotels the fourth Tower of the
5:54
Disneyland Hotel so it started as the
5:57
one they added the other two others and
5:58
now there's now there's a four one this
5:59
is the newest one and man this thing is
6:02
above and beyond impressive and even
6:04
looks like there is some hubg grass down
6:06
here and check this out you have the
6:07
lanterns up here in the tree itself so
6:10
you got all the little
6:12
lanterns in the tree right here next to
6:14
the hubg grass got the root system of
6:16
the trees here all this was completely
6:19
different years you know a couple years
6:20
ago this wasn't even this area wasn't
6:22
even really used over here and a little
6:24
starburst out front the Zamboni going
6:27
around over there these these are
6:29
probably the three two and three bedroom
6:31
Villas right here and these are probably
6:34
the standard I just got a regular
6:35
regular room which has a you'll see in a
6:37
minute it has like a queen bed and then
6:39
it has like a pullout type of bed that
6:41
comes out of the side of the wall kind
6:43
of nice to see the technical name is the
6:45
Villa at Disneyland hotel Discovery
6:47
tower that is pretty awesome though with
6:49
the sorcerer cap there and the sun is
6:51
rising and then this angle you really
6:54
are seeing the the new tower over there
6:56
the slogan for the new spot is just a
6:58
broke stroke brush broke yeah you will
7:01
go broke well and you get a really good
7:02
angle of the new resort the new Villa
7:05
here with the color pattern out the sun
7:07
is now rising up you got the palm trees
7:10
now my room is kind of over here
7:13
somewhere I think it's second or third
7:15
floor up right about there it might even
7:17
be around the other side but it's kind
7:19
of over tucked away in that corner with
7:22
not the most spectacular view it's
7:24
called a preferred Studio View and
7:28
because of just the demand of getting in
7:30
here it it definitely very thankful to
7:33
be able to get a room in here on this
7:36
the opening week if you will so we go in
7:38
over this way so I'm going to walk over
7:40
and show the new area over there the
7:42
Steamboat Willie splash pad and the new
7:44
pool that's over there in the corner in
7:47
just that courtyard so you have the
7:48
original Courtyard in the center of all
7:50
four of the Disneyland Hotel was
7:52
original the three towers and now the
7:54
fourth Tower in that courtyard where the
7:56
water slide is and tangaro Terrace and
7:58
Trader Sams and all that and the
8:01
original Pools and Hot Tub and all well
8:02
not original but the the newer ones but
8:04
this is all brand new this whole section
8:06
back here is newly designed for the
8:08
Villas themselves and pretty awesome
8:11
definitely keeps up with the theming of
8:14
the the whole the whole deal I really
8:17
like it and as stated it's going to
8:19
definitely be a place it's nice to be
8:20
able to just pop into the park you know
8:22
if you have a if you can get a
8:23
reservation to DCA or to Disneyland to
8:26
be able to just walk in you go there
8:27
rope drop if you want you come back at
8:28
the pool we'll take a nap and then after
8:30
that go back and maybe close it out with
8:32
the fireworks you're just within walking
8:34
distance I mean it's a it's a nice
8:35
little walk but it's definitely walking
8:38
distance you don't have to do like a
8:38
monre rail you don't have to do like a
8:39
tram nothing like that you can just kind
8:41
of like walk in and out so pretty happy
8:43
that I that I ended up getting some
8:44
points here and looking forward to you
8:47
know the future of of coming out here
8:50
and staying here on
8:51
property this is the 12th floor all the
8:54
hallways look the same but you get the
8:58
idea different artwork on all the walls
9:02
however like the curvation of this so
9:05
it's not just solid all the way through
9:07
it kind of has that tunnel Vibe check
9:09
out the pattern on the wall
9:12
here all the
9:15
characters Maleficent blue
9:18
Simba Seven
9:20
Dwarfs like the trolls from
9:24
Frozen
9:34
that's awesome all right I ended up
9:34
getting myself a little
9:37
souvenir grand opening 2023 got a pin
9:41
here Villas pin date stamped which is
9:44
nice limited release inside the store
9:47
and they had a bunch of other stuff too
9:48
they had t-shirts and they had kind of a
9:51
pullover zip up hoodie and sort of a big
9:54
magnet things like that all
9:56
for the the new opening of the the new
9:59
hotel which is pretty nice but all I
10:01
ended up getting was was the pen but
10:03

10:04
assortment but I collect pens so it's
10:06
kind of nice especially date stamp ones

10:39
bed you have the very very comfortable
10:42
it was comfortable I never moved all
10:44
night you just slumbered away I did I
10:47
slept like a
10:49
baby so we got the Tiana it's the Tiana
10:52
themed room I believe this is the
10:55
preferred view I think it's called the
10:58
preferred View
10:59
Studio which there are two beds there's
11:02
not it's not a pull out couch like aani
11:04
had a pullout couch this is It's called
11:08
Murphy bed it's called a what mury
11:11
Murphy bed Murphy bed Murphy bed this
11:14
pulls down so we pulled this down last
11:16
night so this comes down you kind of get
11:18
the idea this pulls down completely flat
11:22
into the bed I got my phone over there
11:24
so have no reason to to pull it down but
11:26
that will come completely down you got a
11:28
little coffee table here speaking of
11:31
coffee there is it's not a curig but it
11:34
is like a K cup type of item it's
11:37
technically not not a cur but it does
11:40
have the K cup technology and I ended up
11:43
purchasing an extra 12K cups here are
11:46
the Mickey's roast from the shop but it
11:47
comes with those so if you want more you
11:48
just call call down they bring you more
11:51
and there's also a condiment kit that
11:54
they give you and it has sugars and
11:56
sweeteners and things like that and we
11:58
got some some snacky stuff that we
12:00
brought as well but the artwork in here
12:03
is really nice you got mirrors
12:05
everywhere you got this artwork along
12:08
the side here with the floral pattern
12:11
and you got the accommodations inside
12:15
here with a separate
12:16
door you have a waterfall style nozzle
12:21
there for the shower and also handheld
12:24
it is included there's no tub in this
12:26
particular room one sink over here good
12:30
size
12:31
mirror here as well and a makeup mirror
12:34
right
12:44
door also a mirror here lot of
12:44
mirrors now this light turns
12:47
off the above the headboard light will
12:50
turn off at night all you have to do is
12:53
do that but during the day it kind of
12:55
looks neat when it's when it's on good
12:58
thing about these lights is they dim so
13:00
if you want to have it a little less you
13:03
could turn it down or turn it up or turn
13:05
it completely off on the side of the on
13:09
the side of the bed
13:10
there also wanted to show they do have
13:13
the sea salt body wash down there it
13:16
says Disneyland hotel on the side of it
13:20
right there you got the tile
13:24
work as well got my battery chargers
13:27
over there all the appropriate
13:30
towels and whatnot you
13:33
got did you bring this body lotion or
13:35
was the body lotion in here body lotion
13:38
in there oh the body lotion was already
13:39
in here that's a pretty good size body
13:41
sea salt body lotion there as
13:46
well then you got the drawers down
13:50
here and you got these very
13:59
cool art deco style seats there for
13:59
where the desk would be got the DVC bag
14:02
mom's got her bag there they also do
14:03
room service here in room dining they
14:06
call it all you have to do is to order
14:09
dial room service you got the menu right
14:12
there if you have a desire for some
14:16
beverages or some food late night
14:18
snacks again another mirror here and
14:22
this room I think all the rooms are
14:23
themed a little bit differently but you
14:24
got Tiana and her family Princess and
14:26
the from the movie The Princess and the
14:27
Frog
14:29
is
14:31
this miral up on the wall is that from
14:34
dis is that a a movie or something yeah
14:37
this is from the movie The Princess and
14:38
the Frog and that's Tiana there seen
14:41
that movie you haven't seen
14:43
it we could watch it you can think it's
14:45
neat you can tether Disney plus it's
14:48
interesting that they don't have Disney
14:49
Plus at all the resorts I kind of feel
14:51
like they should have Disney Plus on all
14:52
of them but if you have Disney Plus on
14:54
your phone you can tether to the TV so
14:56
we did that Alani and we watched the
14:58
movies there maybe we could watch
15:00
Princess and the Frog during our stay
15:02
sure while we're in The Princess and the
15:04
Frog room the Tiana room yeah good so
15:07
when we first checked in you thought
15:09
these were drawers you tried to open
15:10
these up but it's just for looks all
15:13
that's buil in and it's an
15:16
illusion so the one I don't want to call
15:19
it a negative thing because the hotel
15:20
room is is very nice but what's the one
15:23
thing that does it doesn't have in here
15:26
place to hang your clothes up there's
15:28
nowhere to hang clothes anywhere inside
15:32
here there are no coat racks or anything
15:35
like that even we even opened this up
15:38
thinking that maybe we could put some
15:40
stuff in here but it's just basically
15:42
safe to say there is not a place to put
15:45
your clothes there is an ironing board
15:48
there is a clothes hamper down
15:51
here and these are the pillows I put a
15:53
safe in there there is a safe right here
15:56
so Mom had to put her her hoodie right
16:04
there I did go to the washer and dryer
16:04
room and there's about a dozen washers
16:06
and a dozen dryers way more than some of
16:09
the other hotels have which is
16:10
nice got the AC central air unit right
16:15
there then you got the mini fridge of
16:17
course I'm sure if you had like a
16:18
one-bedroom villa style I purchase some
16:21
Dan for some Waters I got some milk you
16:24
also have the microwave here then up top
16:28
you got the
16:29
quinart toaster ice bucket and
16:34
Cutlery actual dishes cups and really
16:39
cute coffee mugs there and a sink out
16:42
here there's one in the bathroom and
16:43
there's also a
16:44
sink out
16:46
here so that's it that's the room
16:51
tour right over there is the view you
16:53
can see I was out there earlier there's
16:55
the Steamboat Willie Splash Pad there's
16:57
the pool the hot tubs around the corner
17:00
so it's kind of tucked away it's almost
17:01
like an L shape we around the back of
17:03
the building here in the studio I
17:06
believe it's called the preferred
17:09
Studio but not bad kind of facing the
17:12
Villas over there kind of against a wall
17:15
I think this would be a really good view
17:17
room if we were up maybe like three or
17:19
four more stories but still not bad and
17:22
we're going to be down there a good
17:24
majority of the time too hitting the
17:25
pool and the hot tubs and I'll be going
17:29
on
17:30
the monreal a little bit later the
17:33
Montreal there's my water slide that
17:38
is got a pad and paper there got the
17:41
Disneyland Hotel pen you making coffee
17:44
this already have grounds in it oh it
17:46
has grounds in it already also this was
17:49
in the room it's a welcome home piece of
17:52
artwork here got Steamboat Willie going
17:55
by you see the castle over here in the
17:56
distance from Disneyland walking
17:58
distance to Disneyland and the new tower
18:02
right there they also give you this
18:03
valid through Halloween night
18:05
distinctively dis distinctively Disney
18:08
activities in this shows so the pool
18:10
hours are 9 to9 slide hours are 10 to6
18:13
and it has all the different activities
18:16
and kind of gives you a rundown what's
18:18
happening at the resort right there and
18:21
the keys room keys were inside of there
18:25
