Best Hotel Across From Disneyland Is Courtyard Anaheim-Waterpark too!

Looking for a family-friendly hotel that’s close to the parks, packed with amenities, and designed for comfort? The Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance & Waterpark Resort is one of the best hotels near Disneyland—and I recently toured the property to see what it’s all about.

Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance & Waterpark Resort- What You Need To Know

Walk to Disneyland—Yes, Really!

Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance is located right on Harbor Boulevard and is just a 5-minute walk to the Disneyland main entrance. No buses, no hassle—just grab your gear and walk straight to the magic. It’s ideal for families who want quick park access, midday breaks, or an easy stroll back after a long day.

Rooms Built for Families

This might be one of the most family-focused hotels I’ve ever seen. Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance knows what families need on vacation need! Here’s what makes it stand out:

✅ All rooms sleep six guests
✅ All rooms have bunk beds
✅ All rooms include two showers

It’s not just a few upgraded suites—every single room is designed to comfortably fit families or groups. Two queen beds and a bunk bed offer flexible sleeping arrangements, while the two showers help everyone get ready faster (a lifesaver on early park mornings). Rooms also include free Wi-Fi and TVs with Netflix capability, perfect for relaxing after a long day.

Want to stay close to the magic and have plenty of space for your crew? This is the hotel for you.

The Surfside Waterpark – A Major Highlight

Let’s talk about the Surfside Waterpark at Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance, which is easily one of the top reasons to book this hotel. It’s only for hotel guests and includes:

• Two huge waterslides
• A massive drench bucket
• Splash zones and play areas
• A family pool
• A hot tub for adults

Whether you’re skipping the parks for a rest day or coming back in the afternoon to cool off, the waterpark adds serious value to your stay. It’s often the part kids remember most—and to be honest, adults love it too.

Fireworks From Your Balcony

Many rooms at Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance face Disneyland, meaning you can enjoy the Disneyland fireworks right from your room. No crowds, no waiting—just cozy up in your PJs and watch the show. This is one of my favorite features and adds extra Disney magic to your stay.

Dining and On-Site Amenities

You don’t even have to leave the hotel for meals. The Bistro is located in the lobby and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Whether you’re fueling up before rope drop or grabbing dinner after a long day, it’s super convenient.

They also serve Starbucks coffee, which is great news for those early morning park days. And if you like to keep your routine going, there’s a fully equipped fitness center on-site, too.

Other amenities include:

• Valet-only parking
• On-site convenience store and gift shop
• Laundry facilities
• Free high-speed internet

Final Thoughts

The Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance & Waterpark Resort is the total package. With every room sleeping six, bunk beds and two showers in every room, a private waterpark, walkable access to Disneyland, and front-row fireworks views, it’s one of the best hotels in the area for families.

If you’re looking to stay close to the parks without sacrificing space or comfort—and you want your kids to have an absolute blast—this is an excellent choice.
