    Disneyland Hotel and Villas Pools & Amenities

    Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim offers entertainment for everyone in your family. You’ll splash around in some of the coolest pools in Anaheim.

    The Disneyland Hotel and Villas at Disneyland Hotel has one of our favorite pool areas in Anaheim! When you stay at the Disneyland Hotel, you'll have access to several unique pool areas. The first includes two water slides that are themed after the Monorail itself and reside under a vintage Disneyland sign.

    The nostalgia continues in the E-Ticket Pool where you'll find signs of theme park tickets from years past. Plus, D-Ticket Pool is perfect for anyone looking to swim laps.

    You can also soak up some inspiration along with some sun at the new Palette Pool—a mid-century modern hangout for the entire family. This area features a Steamboat Willy splash zone that’s perfect for cooling off. Bonus—guests of both the Villas and the hotel have access to all pool areas listed in this article.

    Disneyland Hotel and Villas Dining

    Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim is home to Goofy's Kitchen. This Premium Character Dining location will let you dance around with Chef Goofy and his pals while enjoying wacky foods like peanut butter and jelly pizza.

    Thinking of something more casual? The Tangaroa Terrace and Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar both offer Polynesian twists on American fare and drinks.

    Onsite at Disneyland Hotel and Villas you’ll also find the newest bar and lounge—Palm Breeze. Located in the breezy pathway between two pool decks, this eatery serves delicious bites and drinks for anyone who’d like to stop in. If you’re enjoying a day at the pool, use the small umbrellas on your lounger to indicate you’d like poolside service and get food and drinks delivered right to your seat.
