I loved waking up to the iconic image of Walt walking through Sleeping BeautyвЂ™s Castle every day.ДЄfter the Disneyland Half Marathon, I just had to pose with my medals next to this iconic image! The Walt touches in the room cannot be ignored. Brooke and I loved this aspect of the room a lot! Otherwise, you can just enjoy the LED fireworks display over the bed. Of course, after it plays through once, you have to turn everything off and start again if you want to hear it again. We played вЂњ A Dream is a Wish Your Heart MakesвЂќ quite a few times over the weekend. One thing my wife and I realized after we got home that we never did was get a video like the one above. Everything about this room not only felt very Walt and very Disney, but also very classy. Staying in a room with all the Disney touches was so much fun! Since we were in the Adventure tower, a majority of the pics in this mural of sorts were from Adventureland. HereвЂ™s a close up of the picture that was hanging behind the sofa. Let me tell you, I laid on this bad boy after the 10K and fell asleep. Opposite the big comfy chair was this sofa with a pull out bed in it. I loved being able to come back to the room and relax after the races! What an awesome room it was! The room we were in was large and spacious. After all, when youвЂ™re in the theme parks, the Guide Maps you get tend to get a little out of shape.ДЄfter we got checked in, we were off to see our room. Lastly, you get Guide Maps for both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure along with the schedule of shows at each theme park for the week you are staying! What I like about this is that you donвЂ™t have to wait until you get to the theme parks to plan your time! Plus, you can keep these maps in a safe place to keep a nice clean copy. On the back was explanations of the activities listed on the front and how you can take advantage of these activities. Brooke and I were a little bummed that we arrived a little too late to catch a pool side showing of Frozen at the Grand Californian Spa and Resort. The next sheet you get gives you a listing of the special activities that you, as a hotel guest, have access to for the week youвЂ™re staying. On the back is more relevant information. The next sheet gives you gives you some pertinent information for the hotel. On the other side is a map of the entire Disneyland Resort to give you an idea of where you are located in relation to everything else.

We were staying in the Adventure Tower (which is themed to Adventureland). The Disney cast member showed us where our tower was located and hot to get there.

Of course, these keys are free keepsake of your trip to the Disneyland Hotel! Since they are tied to your room, you can charge things to the card and take care of payment once you check out.ДЄdditionally, you get a map of the Disneyland Hotel. Both Brooke and I were excited to see our names on the keys. I love the personal touches Disney puts into the experience. Here is what you get when you check inвЂ¦ДЇirst, you get your room key which is still the Keys to the Kingdom key that you used to get at Walt Disney World (before the Magic Band). The line to check in was super quick to get through and the cast member that checked us in was as friendly as youвЂ™d expect. Once we were parked and made our way to the front desk, the magic started. So, it was just part of the circumstances for the weekend. This was largely due to limited parking at the Downtown Disney parking lot for the races.

It took a half hour to get from the freeway exit at Disneyland Way to the Disneyland Hotel parking lot. When we went to the Disneyland Hotel, it didnвЂ™t start off magical. So, if youвЂ™re looking to stay at a Disney hotel for the Disneyland runDisney races, I would say that the Disneyland Hotel is the absolute best location to stay. That said, I chose the Disneyland Hotel for the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend precisely because it had the best location of any hotel for the races. The cost is significantly higher than other hotel options and staying on Disney property is not as necessary at Disneyland as it is at Walt Disney World. There are pros and cons to staying on Disney property for a runDisney race weekend. This was a life long dream come true for me! Brooke and I have stayed on Disney property at Walt Disney World, but never at Disneyland. For the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, Brooke and I opted to stay at the Disneyland Hotel.
