1. She was able to get us into our room pretty fast and even spoke to the manager of valet, who actually took care of our valet charge for our whole stay as well as sent us some strawberries and sparkling wine, which definitely helped.

2. The Disneyland Paradise Pier Hotel is much better than the Californian in my opinion, though for some reason it has the same slow desk service service and insistence on Exact Check In Times - as Posted requirement -and the same disinterested to the point of rudeness desk clerks- - rather than real world or hotels just 15 miles from Disneyland who actually feel they should be nice to you - even when they charge half the rate this Disneyland hotels do - for the same rooms and amenities.

3. Little has changed from our previous stay in November 2010, except they now charge $15 for self-park in the lot across the street.

4. They have some great life vests for children that are available free of charge that our children loved.

5. Room keys double as charge cards (like a cruise your room will be charged) and even the kids got a key with their names on it as a souvenir.

6. We originally made reservations at the Disneyland Hotel, but upon arrival, they took the liberty of upgrading us to a family suite at the Grand Californian for my daughter's 6th birthday, free of charge.

7. The food at Napa Rose is incredible- just brilliant cuisine and worth every penny they charge.

9. I called in advance to negotiate a quieter room and they upgraded us to the pool view at no charge to accommodate our request for quiet.

10. As others have mentioned, the rooms truly need to be updated for the price they charge as they are VERY TINY compared to other hotels and are starting to become worn from probably being rented every single night of the year.
