Disneyland is turning up the magic, and if you love a little extra pixie dust with your stay, you’re in for a treat! Whether you’re a first-time visitor dreaming of your perfect Disney escape or a seasoned Mouseketeer looking for an upgraded experience, these resort enhancements are going to make your Disneyland stay even more magical.


Let’s dive into the incredible upgrades coming to the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort, from swanky new concierge lounges to jaw-dropping themed suites and even a stunning refresh for the award-winning Napa Rose restaurant. (P.S. You might want to go ahead and start planning your trip now because these changes are going to be chef’s kiss perfection!)


 


A Magical Makeover for Napa Rose 🍷✨


If you’re a foodie with a love for fine dining and a sprinkle of Disney magic, prepare yourself—the Napa Rose restaurant at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is getting a glow-up!


Think modern California luxury meets rustic elegance, with stunning details like:

✔ Reclaimed French oak flooring (yes, the kind used in wine barrels!) 🍇

✔ Hand-crafted artisan metalwork and deep cabernet-colored accents

✔ An eye-catching chandelier inspired by Mission grapevines

✔ Expanded counter seating for prime views of the open kitchen magic ✨

✔ A gorgeous al fresco patio with cozy fireplaces for that extra ambiance


Oh, and did I mention that while the menu is getting an update, fan-favorite dishes like the legendary Smiling Tiger Salad are staying? Napa Rose will temporarily close this spring and is set to reopen in fall 2025—just in time for your next Disneyland trip! 🍷


 


All-New Concierge Lounges = VIP Disney Vibes 🎶🎷


Staying club level at a Disneyland Resort Hotel? Get ready to live your best Disney life with two brand-new concierge lounges opening soon!


🏰 High Key Club – Disneyland Hotel

Imagine stepping into a 1955-inspired retreat, complete with a custom soundtrack celebrating the music and magic of early Disneyland. Expect mid-century modern vibes, colorful decor, and the ultimate perk—a front-row view of the Disneyland fireworks! 💥🎆


🌲 New Two-Story Lounge – Disney’s Grand Californian

This one’s for you, luxury lovers! Nestled high in the "treetops" on the 5th and 6th floors, this stunning Craftsman-style lounge is inspired by California’s giant sequoias. Think warm wood tones, expansive skylights, and cozy nooks perfect for sipping wine while overlooking the Great Hall below. Pure serenity. 🍷📖


Both lounges will offer snacks, beverages, and concierge services all day, so you can fuel up before conquering the parks.
