The Villas at the Disneyland Resort were first announced during the D23 event in August, 2019 with news of a new tower planned for the Disneyland Hotel at the Disneyland Resort. This website was started with the public release of information on the resort in May, 2020. Our webpage has shared information from those earliest meetings. The construction start was delayed somewhat because of the COVID pandemic, but the resort construction took about 2.5 years. The resort did open on September 28, 2023, with the first sales occurring in May 2023, with a starting price of $230 per point.
The resort contains approximately 3,256,000 total points and the resort is mostly made up of studios, with 245 dedicated studios out of a total of 326 units. This is also the second resort after Riviera to have smaller studios - here called Duo studios - that sleep only two people. There are also 4 "Garden View" Duos and Deluxe Studios next to the pool. These units have a small patio area and are a higher point category.
The rest of the Duo and Deluxe Studios are broken into two views - with some being preferred views and some being standard views. As of this writing, the exact number of total standard and preferred rooms are not yet available as the entire resort has not been declared. It is expected that about 2/3rds of the Duo Studios will be standard view, while only 1/3 or less of the Deluxe Studios will be standard view. The standard view specifically looks out of the tower on the South, while the preferred view faces one of the pools, either the DVC pool or the main pool.
All the 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and Grand Villas face East towards the main resort and would be considered preferred views.
The table below shows the rooms in each category and the total number of dedicated versus lock-off. For preferred rooms, we have broken the preferred views into the number facing the Palllet Pool and the number facing the main resort. Note that these are NOT separately bookable categories, and only provided for informational purposes in case people want to put in room requests.

Update February 23: Disney has shared an update that the The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be opening "this September", and that bookings for rooms will be available to DVC Members March 15th, Magic Key Holders March 16th and general public on March 17th. They also shared some more detailed room concept art on the Disney Parks Blog - link is available HERE. So far there is no word on when the resort will go on-sale to DVC members. It is not uncommon for them to open resorts for cash reservations, but usually DVC sales are announced beforehand. We will continue to update this page as more information comes out.
Update December 2022: Photos of the construction work. Exterior framing is complete but building is still wrapped as they work in the interior and the windows. Thank you to Edward Lin for sharing these photos with our site!
Update: Below are some photos taken in August 2022 of the construction of the Disneyland DVC tower. For more information about the new resort - scroll down past the photos. Thanks to Gina Grotsky, Nich Anderson and Steve Pederson for sharing these photos with us!

In November of 2019, Disney filed plans to build a DVC resort at the Disneyland hotel site in Anaheim. This would only be the second west-coast DVC resort - but there is still a lot of work to be done - as it first needs to be approved by the Anaheim City Council. In January 2020, Disney released more information as well as some concept art.
In November of 2021 at the Destination D23 presentation in Orlando, concept art of the rooms and the pool were presented. It was noted that the rooms will be themed to the colors of Sleeping Beauty, while the pool will have the theme of an artist's palette. No further details on opening were provided, but the concept art did indicate a 2023 opening date was still the target.
As of July 2021, construction has started on this 350-room Disney Vacation Club tower proposed for the Disneyland Hotel. As part of the hotel’s reopening, the following language was added to the resort’s website:
“It is possible you may see and hear construction as we build a new Disney Vacation Club property. To minimize any disruptions, activities that may create noise will not start earlier than 9:00 AM.“
On Twitter, images of the initial demolition being performed to clear the way for the new DVC tower have started to pop up.
The resort is not expected to be open until 2023, and even that is a tentative date - so don't sign up for points just yet. The below concept art was provided by Disney:
On May 21st, 2020 a public hearing was help to present the design to the public. And then on July 17th, the planning and building department presented the city of Anaheim with a 1600 page document recommending the construction of the new DVC units. There is a LOT of information contained there-in, and should be pointed out that none of this is finalized, but this is most likely fairly similar to the end product.
Some details gleaned from the documents:
- Committee is recommending approval to the Planning Commission
- 77 Acres Located between the convention center and the Frontierland Tower
- 12 Story Tower with tiered levels off the back towards Walnut street to minimize view to outside property.
- Adding significant view improvements to Walnut Street versus current ivy covered chain link fence.
- Location is 350 rooms
- 342 rooms in main building and 8 “garden” rooms next to pool deck
- 38 Pods (2 person suites similar to Riviera Tower Suites)
- 253 Studios
- 19 2-Bedroom Lock-offs
- 20 dedicated 2-bedrooms
- 2 Grand Villas (2-story on floors 9+10 and 11+12)
- Garden Rooms are 4 Studios and 4 Pods on 2 floors.
- Largest Floors 40 rooms (Floor 3-5).
- Number of rooms go down as you go up because of tiering on back of resort. Goes down to 20 rooms on 12th
- 305 Parking Space required
- Pool is 2,400 Square Feet (32 x 75 for example)
- 870 Square Foot “Interactive Water Feature” (Splash Pad)
- Pool Bar that seats 20 – only dining at the Tower
- Fitness Center – 1300 Square Feet.
- Lobby with DVC Desk & Concierge + 4 elevators
- Community Hall – 1126 Square Feet.
- Two story breezeway from main resort back to pool area.
- Planned completion date 2023.
This model below shows the DVC tower in the lower left corner as related to the rest of the Disneyland resort. Note a small pool to in the crook of the ELL. Also note that it appears that Downtown Disney is to the upper right side of the model.
Here's another view of the model.
The below drawing shows the overhead view. Interesting that next to the pool is listed two buildings as "Garden Units"
Another color view of the pool. Note the garden rooms to the left, the circular "couches" around the edge of the pool, the water feature on the low side with Mickey on the bottom, and then there is also a pool bar hidden in the trees between the garden room and the play area.
Here's another piece of concept art that came from the report - this is the view from Walnut street outside the boundaries with the new hedges.
Here's the side view of the property - showing the tiered section, which is made up of studios and "pods". The front side of the building shows two bedrooms and grand villas.
Another view of the hotel with expected colors and elevations.
Important list - here is the number of each time of room on each floor. Note that the 1-bedrooms are all lock-offs.
One thing to note - this DVC Tower is clearly targeted to shorter stays. Lots of smaller rooms and not many at all larger rooms. (Just over 40 1-, 2-, and 3- bedrooms total.) You can bet the point prices per night will be high. Look to Grand Californian if you want to know how much, even though this resort requires a further walk than the Grand Cali. However, it's good to remember that you are likely taking less than a 10-minute walk to the park entrances, and if you enter DCA via the Grand Cali entrance and Disneyland via the monorail, it's more like 5 minutes.
