Arts & crafts plus a bit of Disney magic!  This is the premier deluxe hotel of the Disneyland Resort that can make you forget you're in the middle of Anaheim instead of in a lodge in the California mountains.  I last visited in August 2015 and love the hotel and experience, but there are a few things you'll want to know before you book your stay.

I had long been excited to stay here since DCA opened in 2001 and they rethemed the Pacific Hotel into Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel with a distinctive beach vibe.  This is the least expensive Disneyland Resort Hotel option, but it doesn't skimp on magic.  Once you get past the lobby, the beach theming is really fun! (UPDATED: 8 Sept 2017)
