Here’s What You Need to Know About Disneyland Resort’s Reopening, Including

I noticed it only goes to Jun 28 so I wonder if they’ll release these on a 60 day level like restaurant reservations.

Continuing the discussion from Here’s What You Need to Know About Disneyland Resort’s Reopening, Including:

I know it might be premature, but has anyone heard anything on what amusement park capacity might look like for dates after June 15? I’m wondering if it will be a free for all or if they will to continue to take reservations but maybe at a higher capacity than 25%-35%.

I am pretty confident they haven’t increased the capacity for any future dates above 25% yet. They will wait till it’s confirmed first. But once the pandemic is “over” we should expect capacity limits to be removed, even if the tickets / reservations were sold at a time limits were in place.

Thank you! 25% vs regular capacity is a big deal. Of course I assume we’d have Fast Pass back by then so maybe not so bad. Any idea when they will release more dates. I need 6/29, 30, 1st. Ugh - so close but so far away! :crazy_face:

Most people thought they would release a 60-day rolling schedule, so keep checking back. But it’s possible they will add a week or two at a time instead. I would expect early July will open up soon for sure - just keep checking!

Will do! Thanks!

Both of you mentioned S Harbor Blvd. DS16’s friend’s family wants to go with us. They are a family of five with a current 8, 12 and 17yo. We’ve known them for many years as our boys have been BFF’s since 5th grade when my son gave his yogurt to the other boy. They are on a different budget and honestly I shouldn’t be spending over $700/night on a room when I take as many trips as I’ve been. I mentioned Fairfield to them and she’s okay with that. Is one of the better options in your opinion? I just mentioned it since I had seen @Jeff_AZ had booked it. She wants us to be at the same hotel, I want to be able to walk but the walk looks similar to the walk from Disneyland Hotel. I seem to remember you could get Magic Mornings to Disneyland Park before with just a three day ticket or more so even if they bring it back by then maybe that’s an option? I’ve never stayed offsite but Disneyland seems the place to do it with so many options. Fairfield Inn Rooms say they sleep five but no rollaways so I’m guessing they have a sleeper chair or couch the 8yo could use? Have you stayed and can confirm. I looked into getting a suite but they were sold out for that weekend.

And Just curious your faves and tips for a first time off-siter so I can be a good Liner to these first timers of any Disney park. It was so adorable when she asked me if Harry Potter and Universal were a part of Disneyland? I forget sometimes when I did things like say WDW “normal” people have no idea what I mean and I’ve begun typing DH and DS at work. Whoops.

I haven’t stayed at the Fairfield yet. It looks really nice but I am too lazy at the end of the night to walk that far. :laughing:( It isn’t really that far :rofl: ) I have to stay this last stay we stay at The Grand Legacy in a 2 room suite and the place was huge. 2 queens in each room with 2 bathrooms and a huge living room with a queen sleeper. I believe it was $200 a night and honestly almost as nice as onsite just no Disney stuff. Park Vue Inn suites are pretty nice and some will have a kitchenette. Next would be Tropicana Inn suites. All within budget and walking distance. I think where ever you stay you all are going to have a blast!!!:heart:

Yeah I could ask her about that suite at Grand Legacy. It looks reasonable and it’s right across the street. They aren’t booking past July it doesn’t look like so I’ll have to keep an eye. Thanks for the tips. :slight_smile:

They might have just added it now I’m showing booking into 2022. And it might qualify for the prepaid discount. And you are welcome! I love sharing any Disney tips! :heart:

Honestly the Grand Legacy is sounding pretty great! I wish I had tried it to compare (or that @93111tink had tried Fairfield). A long, long time ago I stayed at a couple different places on Harbor that I didn’t like but I’m sure they’ve all been refurbished since then.

The Fairfield is about as nice as a normal Fairfield that I’ve stayed in in many cities (I am a Bonvoy member so Marriott is always my preference). The rooms are clean and recently refurbished. Beds are comfortable. They have several room configurations that you can see when you book. I was looking the other day and I think one configuration was two queens plus a sleeper chair. They also have a king plus sleeper couch, which is the room I stayed in. The “Themed Rooms” were nice but probably not worth a lot extra - I think it was like a $10 difference my nights so I sprung for it. The walk is not far at all.

Good luck!

It does have booking in Oct but just not with the sale which is how I was looking the first time @93111tink. Thanks for making me check again. We booked Fairfield the other day and I went back and looked and the junior suite is available (sleeps 6) but it’s $550 more for the four-day weekend and it honestly does not look like that much space. Given this is their first trip and the kids are all older I doubt we’ll be spending much time in the rooms. We have 3.5 days as we our returning flight is at 5:30pm and she wants to do Harry Potter (and fingers crossed HHN because I loved that last time). So I told her we’d do 1 day at Universal. 1 day at DCA and 1.5 days at Disneyland. This just leaves not hotel time anyway.

I stayed at the Fairfield and I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it either. My friend and I are going to try all the hotels right there to see what we like best. The Tropicana is up next in May. I may need to resurrect the old thread about hotel reviews on Harbor and onsite.

I was just thinking of making an updated one with all our latest pictures! :heart:

I too will be at Tropicana and just noticed they raised room prices $50!!


We will be in a 2 queen with a chair sleeper. This is the sleeper. It was kinda a tight fit for me. But was comfortable :blush:

I still have my grand Californian room too. Maybe if Disneyland Hotel or Paradise Pier open back up and they have a sale I can switch us. The Fairfield does just look basic. But again as long as the beds are comfortable and I can sleep okay so it’s not too noisy (I can handle white noise like the highway fine. Used to live in an apartment off IH35 in college). I don’t super care.

I stayed at the Fairfield earlier this month for the first time. It was fine. Grand Legacy seems to be my favorite as I have stayed there many, many times. The front tower @93111tink mentioned is very nice. Fairfield was about the same distance as the Grand Legacy, just in the other direction.

Okay. Thank you. :slight_smile:

Great idea! And maybe we can link the old one for reference.

The Grand Legacy is also on my list. I remember that it was @lolabear_la’s favorite for a spell. I am thinking that might be a good choice when we take the boys for graduation next year.
