Inspired by the creative magic of Walt Disney Animation Studios, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel are now open. The all-new tower features 344 thoughtfully themed guest rooms designed to immerse guests in the worlds of classic Disney stories while offering modern, just-like-home amenities only steps away from the Disneyland Resort theme parks.

Senior vice president and general manager of Disney Vacation Club, Bill Dickerson, said that the Villas at Disneyland Hotel celebrates the remarkable legacy of Walt Disney Animation Studios' storytelling and its creative process.

"With imaginative details and spacious accommodations, this beautiful new tower is the perfect place for families to create magical vacation memories for years to come," said Dickerson.

The new 12-story tower is the 16th Disney Vacation Club property and the first dedicated Disney Vacation Club property at Disneyland Resort since The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa opened in 2009. The property also marks the first new tower at the award-winning Disneyland Hotel since 1979.

The Villas at Disneyland Hotel features a variety of themed accommodations for families large and small, including duo studios, deluxe studios, one-and two-bedroom villas and multi-level grand villas. Each room is themed to a specific Disney film, including "The Jungle Book," "Sleeping Beauty," "The Princess and the Frog," "Fantasia" and more.

When entering the lobby, members and guests are greeted by a mural created exclusively for this property by beloved Disney Animation artist Lorelay Bové. Bové is known for her visual development work on Walt Disney Animation Studios films such as "The Princess and the Frog" and "Encanto." Walt Disney Imagineers have taken inspiration from the animators' storytelling process to create distinctive accommodations that celebrate the magic of creativity. From colour palettes based on animation stills to concept art, guests are instantly immersed in the storytelling process.

The brand-new Palette Pool area offers an inviting oasis perfect for relaxation and play. Guests can unwind in the crystal-clear, palette-shaped swimming pool or enjoy refreshing snacks and drinks at the Palm Breeze Bar, opening later in the year.
