Overview
The crown jewel of the Disneyland resorts is the Disneyland Hotel.
The hotel was built just a few years after the park, and wasn't even owned by
the Walt Disney Company until after Michael Eisner became chairman of the
company. The resort isn't themed, as most the Disney hotels in Florida are.
Instead, it looks much like a very nice, well maintained, resort with
manicured gardens, an assortment of restaurants and shops. The one thing
at the resort that really rivals the themeing of it's Florida counterparts is
the Neverland pool. It's a huge pool are with many visual cues to remind
one of the destination of Peter Pan and company after flying toward "the
second star to the right, then on 'till morning".
Food and Drink
The Hotel has several restaurants to choose from. Granville's Steakhouse is
the premier restaurant of the resort. It's wood paneling is a bit pretentious,
but the food is good albeit, expensive. Hook's Pointe is another
restaurant billed as sophisticated and contemporary by Birnbaum's (I'll take
their word for it, since I've never visited here), located amid the Neverland
area. Goofy's Kitchen is a character buffet establishment that is also
expensive, but adds the fun of Goofy, Pluto, and several other characters to
each meal's going's-on. The Coffee House and Croc's Bits 'n' Bites
provide a couple snack and fast food options.
Concierge Service
Lani Tashima wrote a fantastic column about the resort's concierge service.

Activities
The Hotel has many recreational activities (tennis, volleyball, croquet,
swimming, and a huge gameroom) as well as a health club. Shopping for themed
merchandise is fun. The Neverland area, of course, is a great place to expend
some excess energy. Nightly, there is
a presentation of the "Dancing Waters " show in the South-West
corner of the Hotel courtyard.
Disney Transportation
Travel to Disneyland Park is available via monorail or tram, but the
loading areas for both are rather remote.
