In every adult beats the heart of a child, and in perhaps no other spot on the planet is it more evident than inside Disneyland. Don't be surprised to find mom insisting on a fifth Space Mountain ride, or dad grabbing the camera and clicking away as Hook rounds the corner.

As you enter the Disneyland Hotel lobby you're greeted by a soaring mural of Sleeping Beauty's castle, and "When You Wish Upon A Star" playing overhead, A Peter Pan-themed pool beckons. Later, you'll marvel at the spectacular view of Downtown Disney from your guest room balcony (east side of the Dream tower).

Unveiled just three months after Disneyland Park opened in the summer of '55, the Disneyland Hotel sits adjacent to the Park. Both are a 45-minute minute drive from the LA airport and 30 minutes from John Wayne. With three fancifully named towers (the Wonder, the Magic and the Dream) and 990 rooms, you'll need to rustle up an old timer if want to hear about the original; every plank of the Disneyland Hotel (including the parking lot) has been leveled, refurbished and re-unveiled throughout the decades.

These days Disneyland Park is just part of a the kingdom called the Disneyland Resort which encompasses the Disneyland Park, the Disneyland Hotel, California Adventure and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The interior of the Disneyland Hotel has been gussied up countless times and is Disney decorated to the hilt and immaculately maintained. The exterior is lush with tropical gardens, waterfalls and walking paths.
