Disneyland has only three official hotels, which is quite the contrast to Disney World, which is home to a few dozen official hotel resorts, depending on exactly how you count.

But joining the historic Disneyland Hotel (which first opened in 1955), Paradise Pier Hotel (currently transforming into Pixar Place Hotel) and the Grand Californian will be the Disneyland Hotel Villas opening on Sept. 28, 2023.

The much anticipated Disneyland Hotel Villas, which will be housed in a new tower at the Disneyland Hotel, are the first new rooms to open at a Disneyland hotel since 2009.

In keeping with the rich history of the Disneyland Hotel, these new rooms will have Disney animation-inspired touches from stories such as "The Jungle Book," "Fantasia," "The Princess and the Frog" and "Sleeping Beauty." This new tower, and the rest of the Disneyland Hotel, are within walking distance of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.

The new room types will consist of studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom villas and grand villas. These will be available for booking with cash and/or Disney Vacation Club points, though we expect them to be quite popular and have limited availability.

As always, we recommend pricing out a stay with cash and with rented Disney Vacation Club points to identify the more economical route for your travel dates.
