Welcome to my blog! Today I am reviewing the hotel we stayed
at while visiting Disneyland.
I’m a single mom of three girls who were 11, 11 and 3 years
old during this trip. We stayed at this hotel from January 8, 2023, until
January 14, 2023.
We were supposed to check in on January 7, however, there was a printer issue at our local airport (Comox Airport), and we missed our flight! I made sure we were there early… but the line was very long when we got there and did not move for a long time. We had our bags on the belt to get checked in when they announced they were closing the gate. I guess you can never be TOO early.
I called Candy Cane Inn in a panic while the west jet worker tried to find us a new flight. Unfortunately, we live on a small island (Vancouver Island) and it wasn’t possible to leave later that day. Thankfully, Candy Cane Inn was able to adjust our stay by one day and I didn’t have to pay any extra fees.
We arrived at approximately 2:00pm. Our room was available
early and we were able to drop out stuff in the room and run off to the park…
and by run, I mean walk two seconds to their trolley!
They have a trolley that runs every hour. It leaves the hotel on the hour and leaves the park 15 minutes after the hour. The first trolley leaves at 7:30am which gives enough time to rope drop. The last trolley leaves the park at 45 after the hours on the last hour the park is open.
We were at the park for four days and we only walked to the
hotel one time. Every other time we were able to coordinate our plans easily
with this schedule. The walk took less than 10 minutes. It was really quick,
and we probably could have walked more but we were saving our feet for the
parks.
The hotel had just opened from an extensive renovation. The
rooms were brand new, very modern, with a tiny hint of Mickey.
They provide a free extended continental breakfast. Fresh delicious
donuts, croissant sandwiches, bagels, apples, oranges, bananas, yogurt, cereal,
hard-boiled eggs, cheese and more. Since then I've seen they got a waffle maker!
The staff were super friendly.
There is a hot tub and a kiddy pool the same size as the hot
tub. There is also a decent size pool which I did not use because even though
we are from British Columbia, it was a little too chilly.
The price though!!!!! Our room was $ 199 USD a night. That is
one of the cheapest in the area and it has way more perks than most of the
hotels around there.
I will most definitely stay there again.
