What To Do
Grab a coffee or a quick bite to eat at the on-site Starbucks before heading out on your short walk to Disneyland. After a fun-packed day at the resort, you can return to a freshly turned room that feels just like home. Refresh yourself with a trip to the pools, where you can grab a drink while the kids enjoy themselves at the waterpark.
If you can summon up the energy to stay out until evening, you’ll be rewarded with a cool Southern Californian breeze and a fantastic view of Disney’s fireworks show. Don’t forget to commemorate your trip with a special souvenir or two from the hotel’s gift shop!
What To Eat
Start your day off right with a cup of joe for you and some orange juice for the kids at the on-site Starbucks. Stick around for a bite at the Bistro that’s known for simple yet tasty breakfast food and large portions. Craving more variety? Take a trip to the nearby Panera Bread or Mimi’s Cafe.
Take a short stroll outside the hotel and find even more dining options – everything from McDonald’s and Denny’s to an Ice Cream Parlor and Bakery Cafe.
Room Guide
With comfort top of mind, the guest rooms at Courtyard Marriot are spacious and equipped with everything you’ll need for a relaxing stay. Families will be well accommodated with amenities such as free WiFi and Netflix, microwaves and mini-fridges, shower/tub bathroom combos, and twin bunk beds in every room.
Standard Rooms – These 550 square foot rooms can be booked with two Queen beds or one King bed. No matter which you choose, a twin bunk bed is also included in the room. Resort or water park views are available.
Bedroom Suites – The bedroom suites are bigger (about 785 square feet) and include separate living and dining areas. Along with the standard room amenities, suites also feature a TV in each room, a double vanity, and can accommodate up to two bunk beds.
Special Experiences
Not every hotel has its very own waterpark that’s exclusive to its guests. Courtyard’s Surfside Waterpark is located on the second floor and is open year-round for good times under the sun.
Kids and adults alike can enjoy water slides, a huge drench bucket, a fountain area, and a heated pool. The waterpark area also contains an adults-only hot tub and a children’s pool with beach-style entry.
Just a heads up – the hotel does require advance reservations for the waterpark, so plan accordingly.
