Yes we did. But next time we're staying at the Contemporary. Aren't we, Samdu? We will because I'll be making the reservations!!! Buwahahaha!samdu wrote:my family stayed at Carribean Beach and we really enjoyed it. It was just the right mix of price (given we mainly just slept there).
Best Disney Hotel?

I've liked it! It's the more basic out of the three Disneyland hotels, but it makes it a little nice. There can be very nice views of the park from it. It's a little easier to get to from the parks in comparison to Disneyland Hotel. The only downside is that it's not quite the same atmosphere as you'd get from the other hotels. I usually prefer it over DL Hotel, though.Magique wrote:How is the Paradise Pier hotel? I'm staying with my family there in a few weeks and we've never stayed there before.

It's not as far as DL Hotel (unless you take the Monorail). I usually do the shortcut through the Grand Californian, both because it's a shortcut, and that hotel is great to wander around and look at.

Have they 'themed' Paradise Pier much? When we were out there, just after Disney had purchased the hotel in 1997 or so, it just looked like a regular hotel with Disney's name stamped on it.

Can someone help me understand the "level" of hotel at DL? They have 3 hotels, Disneyland Hotel (the original), Paradies Pier or whatever the 2nd hotel was they acquired and the Grand Californian.casrin wrote:Have they 'themed' Paradise Pier much?

Obviously the Grand Galifornian would be your "deluxe" accommodations (especially with a private gate to CA). How do the other two compare/fall?
I stayed at the Disneyland hotel in 1996 and loved it, it seemed pretty nice even for its age.

My WDW Rankings:
1) Beach Club (great pool, great access, Beaches & Cream on your doorstep)
2) Boardwalk (great theming, great access)
3) Wilderness Lodge (awesome lobby)
4) Grand Floridian (oozes grandeur to the point of being a little too shi-shi for its own good)
5) Swan (great beds and access, but didn't have that magical Disney sense)
My DL Rankings:
1) Grand Californian (can't beat location and cool lobby)
2) Disneyland (kudos to the original)
