1:24
the pool here is not quite operational
1:28
i won't that let won't that that ruined
1:30
my fun still going to showcase
1:32
what else there is for the price even
1:35
though it is all filled up
1:36
and chlorinated even some some fun
1:39
noodles in there
1:40
i asked the gentleman at the desk
1:43
and he said that it's been a few months
1:45
so sometimes his family will utilize it
1:48
but guess they cannot limit how many are
1:51
in there so
1:52
no guests allowed until everything kind
1:54
of returns back to the
1:56
normal flow
2:07
you might want to turn the lights on
2:08
that would help a little
2:23
got the wall unit here ac
2:23
down below got a phone over there in the
2:26
corner
2:26
an alarm clock a few pillows i like the
2:30
headboard
2:31
there very decorative
2:34
top level we got a desk it's a table
2:37
that's
2:37
used as a makeshift desk
2:41
we got a chester drawers chest of
2:44
drawers i've
2:45
always said gesture drawers but in
2:48
reality it's chest
2:49
of drawers i have been
2:52
i have been told since i was a youth i
2:54
always called it the other
2:56
just said it really quick like finding
2:58
dory poster there
3:01
you can see through the reverse of the
3:02
mirror
3:05
television microwave mini fridge
3:08
turning this on got it set at 76 degrees
3:12
blowing on
3:12
high got a little walk kind of a walk-in
3:16
closet over there that is
3:18
illuminated very well but they'll turn
3:20
the light on
3:21
also a lamp on that end and one here oh
3:24
that's bright it
3:25
kind of permeates the the light up to
3:28
the top
3:29
and you have to manually turn that one
3:31
on over there as well this is going from
3:33
this
3:34
perspective also as you walk into this
3:38
area
3:38
you have one of those little trays there
3:40
that you can put your bags on you got an
3:42
ironing board
3:43
plenty of the hangers here and
3:47
an iron which is pretty much standard
3:50
for
3:50
for most places i'm not seeing a coffee
3:52
pot i am not seeing
3:54
a coffee pot however the signage there
3:57
says please do not use towels for makeup
4:00
or spills so if i spill something do not
4:03
use
4:04
the towels you got the counter there
4:07
with the wood grain
4:09
up here we have another mirror we got a
4:12
couple
4:12
extra a couple of extra rolls of toilet
4:15
paper and
4:16
a decorative set up here of
4:20
a regular towel that almost can be
4:22
confused with the way a toilet paper
4:24
roll
4:25
is circular circled like that
4:29
i think a lot of places will do this
4:31
where they'll kind of do the little
4:33
fluff there on top make it very
4:36
decorative and
4:37
i always like to show what the brands
4:39
they are representing this
4:41
is paya lotion and soaps
4:46
shampoos this is a
4:49
remover wipe and here is
4:53
the the bar facial bar
4:56
as well sink nice little sink
5:00
and behind this door is
5:03
the shower
5:10
right down in there nothing too fancy
5:10
but
5:11
we'll do the trick there's the nozzle
5:13
total was 91.73
5:17
for one day check in at two check out
5:20
the next morning at
5:21
11 a.m so one evening for
5:24
under a hundred dollars 13 and change of
5:28
that
5:28
were the taxes and fees as stated
5:32
you can see the disneyland resort from
5:35
the parking lot
5:36
so not too bad this is the first one in
5:38
this series that is
5:40
well under the hundred dollar mark could
5:42
have something to do with the pool
5:44
not being open either way
5:48
not a bad deal went ahead and set this
5:50
stand up
5:52
put my luggage well not really luggage i
5:54
put my bag
5:55
on top of it to keep it off the floor or
5:57
off the nightstands
5:59
and the bed put that
6:03
cozy right there parking fees were
6:07
non-existent did not charge me anything
6:11
to park my vehicle which is nice if you
6:13
consider if you're not an annual pass
6:15
holder
6:16
and the parks are open down the road
6:19
take 25
6:20
off of that so you figure
6:24
that's a nice little it's a nice little
6:26
addition when it comes to a bonus if
6:28
you're not really looking for anything
6:30
super fancy just had a good night's
6:33
sleep something in
6:34
close coordinates even if it's a hundred
6:37
dollars
6:38
take off the 25 parking fee that if you
6:41
were not an ap
6:43
over at disneyland you would have to pay
6:44
to park in the structure
6:46
you're looking at about 75 a night or
6:48
even 70 dollars a night now that could
6:50
go up
6:51
when things start to get back to
6:52
business it could be a little more than
6:54
that but current day sept to
6:56
mid-september
6:56
2020 it was
7:00
under 95 taped up on the door here is
7:03
a layout of the property starting with
7:06
the office the lobby
7:08
the closed swimming pool and then the
7:11
100 rooms
7:17
and then there is a second level on the
7:17
far end
7:18
for the 200 rooms so not too many
7:21
altogether
7:22
a couple dozen rooms give or take so
7:25
there's this one
7:26
the reflection and the other as well as
7:35
a tub for ice and a couple of drinking
7:35
glasses
7:37
i'm gonna take a stroll outside and just
7:41
walk around the neighborhood
7:42
and then go over to downtown disney in a
7:44
little bit but want to
7:45
go around and see what kind of stores
7:47
there are if you need anything
7:50
just kind of survey the neighborhood
7:52
this is a
7:53
non-smoking room and
7:57
got this dangling there it says privacy
7:59
please
8:00
even though there will be nothing in
8:01
here that needs to remain
8:04
full of privacy just
8:07
i always like putting these on the on
8:09
the door
8:10
so i take a stroll outside i'm on the
8:14
bottom floor but there is a
8:17
another level up here oh if there's any
8:20
sort of view if i was to go up that
8:21
staircase
8:22
starting from the back of the premises
8:26
and looking across there it is you can't
8:30
see the
8:30
paradise pier hotel over there and these
8:33
are some of the rooms here
8:35
going along this roof line and then
8:40
over to there give the 360.
8:49
nice palm tree here very quaint
8:49
vending machine sodas are a dollar water
8:52
two dollars
8:54
oh that's because the water is in a
8:57
bigger ounce
8:58
bottle where the soda is in a can
9:08
where the elements have really taken its
9:08
toll there on the signage
9:11
oh they have squirt they'll see that too
9:14
often
9:16
i wonder if that's in stock delicious
9:18
ice cold
9:19
before booking i should have i always
9:22
booked beforehand
9:24
i should have called to confirm about
9:26
the pool
9:27
being open this is an ice-o-matic
9:30
that's the brand name right there it
9:32
says
9:33
until further notice and it's not heated
9:42
oh those pool floaties in there are
9:42
really they're they're just teasing me
9:44
they're saying
9:45
come on we're in here enjoying it but we
9:47
should be in here too
9:49
but i'm not allowed i'm not allowed
9:57
there's a grill over there most likely
9:57
just for fun if you were wandering
9:59
around with a pepsi product
10:02
you'd probably not be escorted off the
10:05
premises
10:12
not that i partake i am a non-smoker but
10:12
this is the area if you
10:14
if you so choose to do so this little
10:17
bench right here
10:19
oh see it says okay now is the pool area
10:23
the smoking area from nine to nine
10:26
or is i mean the bench is probably 24
10:30
hours
10:31
okay pool usually is from nine to nine
10:34
so 12 hours you would have in that
10:36
delightful cool crisp water
10:41
looking at it from this angle right here
10:44
running parallel to catella anaheim
10:47
discovery inn and suites
10:49
at the park and then by shifting just a
10:52
bit
10:53
simba parking right past those hedges
10:56
and those palm trees
10:58
as well as disneyland hotel and as
11:01
stated
11:02
dca right over there i'm going to be
11:05
going over there in just a bit now this
11:07
gate is closed normal the vehicles can
11:10
go
11:10
onto the other disneyland drive
11:14
so i could end up i could end up driving
11:16
or i could walk
11:21
even a banner for disney california
11:21
adventure right there
11:28
these signs are not illuminated
11:28
that's very close right outside
11:34
the accommodations see that flag says
11:37
the
11:37
anaheim resort actually there's two
11:41
anaheim resort flags there towards the
11:42
bottom
11:43
below the u.s flag that's that's the
11:46
name this whole area is given
11:49
so you got disneyland resort which
11:51
starts over there
11:53
but then they also refer to this whole
11:55
section the perimeter around it
11:58
as the anaheim resort
12:09
on the room key itself is this coupon
12:12
for a denny's 15
12:14
off that sits just next door
12:18
so if you get hungry at any hour of the
12:20
day can utilize
12:22
this say 15 percent
12:25
meet some other accessories the
12:27
wonderland market grocery beer
12:29

12:35
and get a couple waters
12:36
you don't see these every day pretty
12:39
rare to find a
12:40
i'm not gonna i'm not gonna pick up the
12:42

12:44
the phone book
12:46

13:11
something other than the water maybe you
13:15

13:17
in that box i'll just i'll just show let
13:19
me put this down let's show it
13:21
i figured it just made sense in the
13:24
general vicinity of the property why not
13:27
get some
13:27
donald duck oj taste
13:31
the magic has added calcium also
13:36
a juicy fact donald hails from duckberg
13:40
and his middle name is font
13:43
leroy there's also
13:46
a couple other ones goofy even has his
13:48
own tropical punch
13:50
oh heck yeah this is a couple hundred
13:53
yards from the hotel
13:56
oh give or take oh dang you can really
14:00
see the fun wheel good
14:02
right there through the trees mickey's
14:05
fun well i think now it's called the
14:06
pixar pal around see it over there
14:17
i'm ready to give this a try now i gotta
14:20
let's get this all
14:22
all stirred up pop the top there
14:25
got the oh yeah it has a an additional
14:28
little item to remove and then
14:32
go in on a nice glass of oj
14:40
cheers really attempting to get a good
14:40
balance based on price range around the
14:43
area places to stay
14:45
you know some are a little more pricey
14:47
than others some are a little less
14:49
i would say this place in particular
14:52
you get what you pay for you're not
14:54
really getting a whole lot of additional
14:56
things but if you do not need
14:58
a workout center if you do not need a
15:01
lobby to hang out in
15:03
if you do not need a hot tub or
15:05
currently now the pool
15:06
usually is but currently if you do not
15:09
need a pool to wade in
15:10
swim around in which is a big factor of
15:14
me
15:14
getting these rooms then this is your
15:17
place
15:18
price for fur around the disneyland
15:21
resort
15:22
is a heck of a good deal so just keep
15:25
that in mind each place
15:27
is different based on what your what
15:30
you're used to
15:30
what your requirements are if you're on
15:33
vacation
15:34
or if you're you know visiting the area
15:41
that is really good either that or i'm
15:41
just
15:41
super thirsty let me get myself another
15:44
another glass
15:45
also need to factor in what the plans
15:48
are if you're going to be at the parks
15:50
all day or out and about and just using
15:52
this for
15:53
slumber that is perfectly fine but now
15:56
during
15:56
midday neighbors next door you can hear
15:59
they're playing music
16:01
at a pretty decent level so you gotta
16:03
kind of take that into account
16:05
as well some places will have a
16:07
reinforced
16:09
soundproof not soundproof but thicker
16:11
walls and windows
16:13
where some of the older places they do
16:15
not it's really just
16:16
kind of all up to you i have it muffled
16:18
out a little because i have turned the
16:20
air up just a bit so the fan noise is
16:22
kind of disguising what
16:24
is in the next room over so but also i
16:27
i also really enjoy when i'm slumbering
16:30
to have a fan
16:32
going someone will turn the ac off and
16:34
some of these will have just a fan
16:37
button or icon that you can utilize that
16:40
way it doesn't get too
16:41
chilly in the room but it will also you
16:43
know also
16:44
end up having the noise just to help you
16:47
get a good night's sleep a little
16:48
a little ambiance if you will i need to
16:51
test this bed out
17:05
and see how comfortable
17:05
this says
17:19
okay that's firm not too bad i would say
17:22
like kind of mid
17:23
mid-range when it comes to not being too
17:25
soft
17:26
not too too hard yeah it's not bad
17:40
i gotta say without the pool without the
17:40
parks open
17:45
i need something to do i think i'm gonna
17:45
go over i gotta go over to downtown
17:48
disney
17:48
i'm just sitting here not doing a whole
17:51
heck of a lot
17:53
shouldn't take too long
17:56
to walk over there maybe a minute or two
17:59
corner of west
18:00
street and disneyland drive
18:07
those are the coordinates west street
18:07
turns into disneyland drive
18:10
so once you pass this threshold
18:13
west street becomes disneyland drive as
18:16
stated right there
18:28
these are on every corner around here
18:31
given the layout of the land
18:32
on that little sign says welcome
18:36
to disneyland see the top of the fun
18:40
wheel again
18:42
and another piece of signage that says
18:46
well theme parks straight ahead downtown
18:50
off to the left curious to see if i'm
18:52
going to be able to walk in
18:54
through this entrance i know cars can go
18:57
ahead and park
18:58
any vehicles i don't know if they have a
19:01
spot where you could just walk it
19:02
this is also a side note this is part of
19:05
a very large hidden mickey this is
19:08
his cheek and his ear and over on the
19:12
other side
19:13
is the other portion of it slight glare
19:15
on the phone case there
19:17
there's a satellite image a blue dot is
19:19
where i'm standing
19:21
right there next to the earlobe
19:30
pretty cool not just automobiles
19:30
but also walking guests
19:34
can go in it's good to know for future
19:37
reference
19:42
parking would be that way right now
19:42
complimentary they are not
19:44
charging
19:49
and you can just walk in if you're
19:49
staying over on catella or any of the
19:51
other hotels off-site
19:53
and a tie-in when it comes to paying for
19:55
parking they have just installed these
19:57
self-pay mechanisms very recently in
20:00
fact they're still
20:02
covered up waiting for the plastic to be
20:04
removed off of them
20:05
got the umbrellas out a little shade
20:07
through the walkway here leading up
20:09
inside world of disney looking at the
20:11
new jungle crew stuff that was released
20:13
a few
20:13
weeks ago they have magnets here as well
20:15
the backside of water
20:17
magnets and all the 20 20 pins are buy
20:19
one get one free still until they run
20:21
out
20:21
kind of tucked away over here is where i
20:23
got my monorail towel it's down on this
20:25
second from the bottom
20:26
shelf if you were interested that's
20:28
where it's located right in this area
20:29
they don't really have a place to
20:30
display it so you have to really look
20:32
for it down there in that corner but i
20:34
love that monorail towel there goes
20:37
the monorail towel in the skies down
20:39
there i might have talked hey man with
20:40
j-man into getting one of these towels
20:42
everyone needs to own one
20:43
everyone while in there i started
20:46
walking over to the espionage just to
20:47
get a little peek
20:49
over at the topiary mickey and i noticed
20:51
there were quite a few cast members
20:53
and even some plaids congregating in the
20:56
they were doing a little bit of a trivia
20:58
contest so i
21:00
decided i would throw my hat into the
21:02
ring and i got all of them correct with
21:04
the exception of kind of a trick
21:05
question which was
21:07
the carousel this one threw me for a
21:10
little bit of a
21:12
confusion but they ended up giving me a
21:14
pin
21:15
nonetheless anyway as a a party gift
21:18
you could say and then i made my way
21:20
over to the esplanade
21:22
