ディズニーから近い点
歩いて10分以内に着くので夜遅くても安心して歩けました！
また、近くにマックなどの食べ物もあるので特に困ることはなかったです！

After all the trouble a tech was sent to the room meanwhile we were in the pool to fix every single problem we had.
Pros:

What I liked about the property was that my kids enjoyed the waterpark, playground. And it’s right across the street from Disneyland and a variety of restaurants to choose from.

Cons:

When I got to the room I was booked for i had multiple problems like very steamy shower no cold water to take bath. Mini refrigerator not cooling my beverages and food. Not feeling the breeze from AC unit even though it was ON very stuffy room. And Wi-Fi not working properly

Pros:

How close it is to Disneyland.

Cons:

Charging for parking but only getting to use it until noon and also only getting access to the pool until noon. That was a surprise that wasn’t obvious while booking.
