Disneyland Hotel Marks 70 Years of Disney Hospitality and Magic

May 22, 2025

As the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration gets underway starting May 16, 2025, the legendary Disneyland Hotel is also celebrating a major milestone—its 70th anniversary. Known for its magical ambiance, immersive theming, and family-friendly accommodations, the hotel first opened its doors in 1955, just three months after Disneyland Park welcomed its first guests.

Today, the hotel remains a crown jewel of Disney hospitality, now featuring 973 guest rooms, 71 suites, and an additional 344 themed rooms at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Recognized with the AAA Four Diamond Award, the resort continues to offer a unique blend of nostalgia and modern comfort.

Special 70th Anniversary Offerings

To commemorate this historic occasion, the Disneyland Hotel is launching limited-time celebrations designed to surprise and delight guests throughout 2025 and into summer 2026. Key features include:

  • Decorative touches such as custom banners, medallions, and wall art throughout the hotel, celebrating 70 years of magic.
  • Three in-room celebration packages, featuring exclusive 70th anniversary merchandise and décor, perfect for marking special occasions.
  • Signature beverages at Palm Breeze Bar and Broken Spell Lounge, including a decadent apricot vodka cocktail and a refreshing nonalcoholic drink made with grapefruit sherbet, watermelon, and pineapple.
