The hotel is rather new and I like the mattress and pillow. It is comfortable. Upon arrival the concierge greeted us and they are very helpful with our luggages.
However the same could not be said with the front desk staff. Upon check in, the process is slow and I was told to pay extra for the Disney tickets to top up to Tier 2. I have booked 90 days jn advance for the tickets to be used on the particular day and they have already deducted the ticket price as tier 1 ticket. I am confused why they charged me the difference when I have indicated the date well in advance.
The buffet breakfast was not worth the price as they limit the dine in to strictly under 1 hour. You also need to queue up to take photo with only 1 Disney character. I was told if you go to Disneyland hotel breakfast buffet, you get 2 Disney characters there. On hindsight I would not opt for the breakfast buffet. It was too rush.
There are not many activities in the hotel itself. If I take a shuttle to Disneyland hotel, I have to loop one round so it will take about 15min to reach Disneyland hotel from the explorer’s lodge. I should think Disneyland hotel is a better choice for kids in order not to waste anymore time on transport.
Again I think Disneyland hotel is a better choice for kids.
