runDisney announced last week a brand new race ~ The Dumbo Double Dare and already I know of people booking rooms! We won’t be able to register for these races until January 22, 2013 but I know these races will book up fast so now is the time to seriously think about where you would like to stay. Disneyland is much different from the Walt Disney World. There are only three on site Hotels but plenty of Good Neighbor Hotels that will place you close to the starting line. I am hoping this will help you make a decision on where to stay, but of course please call or email us for more information or to book your Disneyland Marathon Weekend travel. You can request your free quote here.

Resort Benefits:
Extra Magic Hour
Guests of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort can take advantage of Extra Magic Hour each day* of their stay at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure® Park! (Valid theme park ticket and active hotel room key required.)
*Extra Magic Hour currently allows registered Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests admission into select attractions at Disneyland Park on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and Disney California Adventure Park on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday before the applicable park opens to the general public. Each registered Hotel Guest (ages 3 and older) must have a valid theme park ticket and active hotel room key card. To enhance the Extra Magic Hour experience, it is strongly recommended that Guests arrive at least one hour and 15 minutes prior to regular park opening. Applicable theme park, days and times of operation and all other elements including, but not limited to, operation of attractions, entertainment, stores, restaurants and appearances of characters may vary and are subject to change without notice. Subject to capacity, cancellation and other restrictions.
Close To The Magic
Staying at a Disney Resort means being surrounded by magic 24 hours a day and also being close enough to return to your hotel for a snack, nap or dip in the pool.
World of Color FASTPASS
Disney Resort Guests will be allowed 30 minutes early entry than the published listed time through the gate at Disney’s Grand California Hotel & Spa. This will allow hotel guests to get in line for Disney’s FASTPASS tickets to each evening’s performances of World of Color.

Disney Character Wake-Up Calls
