Review of the Hyatt Regency Orange County

Recently I was able to visit various hotels in the Garden Grove area near Disneyland, and my favorite was easily the Hyatt Regency Orange County. This hotel is absolutely amazing, the lobby is incredible, the rooms are large and comfortable, and there are so many extras in this hotel that make it the perfect place to stay on your next Disney vacation. Honestly, I had never considered this hotel prior to my visit because it wasn’t super close to the parks, but my mind has definitely been changed now that I have experienced this hotel for myself. Let me tell you all about my visit and what you can expect from this hotel.

***This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you! ***

Hotel Overview

The Hyatt Orange County is a beautiful 653-room hotel that is perfect for families visiting Disneyland. This deluxe hotel is located 1.4 miles away from the Disneyland resort in the Garden Grove area at an amazing price. They have multiple on site restaurants, two pools, fitness center, and so many options for entertainment. This hotel is non smoking, pet friendly, offers free wifi, and you can use your phone as your room key. Breakfast is available but is not complimentary, but children receive breakfast for half off if accompanied by a paying adult. They also offer laundry and dry cleaning services.

Rooms

The Hyatt Orange County offers several room types from double queens to kings, standard rooms or suites, you’re sure to find the perfect room to fit your families needs. Some of the rooms in the hotel are newly renovated deluxe rooms to look like the photos below and some, non deluxe rooms, have not been renovated yet, but they are all clean and spacious.

All standard rooms come with:

  • 65” flat-screen TV with Pay Per View movies
  • Oversized workstation
  • Pharmacopia bath amenities
  • Iron and ironing board
  • Hair dryer
  • Coffeemaker
  • In-room safe
  • Minifridge

All suites come with the same amenities as the standard room but also include a microwave and a sleeper sofa. There is also the option for adjoining rooms and suites with multiple rooms so kids can stay in one room and the parents can stay in the other, giving you plenty of space to spread out after a day in the parks

Location

This hotel isn’t as close to the parks as many of the other hotels in the Anaheim area, so I think many people don’t consider it when they’re planning their trip, which includes me. It is about 1.4 miles away from which is a bit too far to walk, but the nice thing about the Hyatt Orange County is that they have their own shuttle that guests can use. It begins running 15 minutes before park opening and runs for an hour after park close, and picks up at the hotel every 30 minutes. The shuttle is not included with your stay, it is an additional fee of $6 per adult and $3 per child per day and picks up right in front of the hotel. You could also use Uber/Lyft to get to the parks. The nice thing about the location is that even though it’s a little far away from the park, you get a lot more bang for your buck than you would staying at a hotel right across from the parks, so you’re getting a deluxe hotel at a cheaper price.

Review of the Hotel

I really enjoyed this hotel. I love how beautiful and spacious it is. The lobby is incredible and I love how many things there are to offer within the hotel. I was able to enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the on site restaurants, TusCA, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. The dining space is beautiful and the food was amazing, I would definitely eat there again. I wasn’t able to try their other sit down restaurant, but it also looked like a great spot to grab something to eat.

Along with all the restaurants, I know having a Starbucks in the lobby is a huge perk for many people, and the idea of having a Disney gift shop and an arcade in the lobby is also a really fun touch, if you’re traveling with kids that would be a huge perk. The two pools are awesome and they do have an hour at night that is adult only swim so you can relax at the pool without kids running everywhere. I love that you can take yoga classes or do personal training sessions at the hotel is also a fun perk I haven’t seen at many other hotels.

I loved the rooms and how spacious they are. They are all clean and well maintained, and having a view of the lobby is a really cool feature that most hotels don’t have. This hotel is perfect if you are traveling alone, as a couple, as a girls group, or as a family. They have so many room options that can accommodate any needs you may have for your trip. I thoroughly enjoyed touring this hotel and look forward to staying here soon, it is at the top of my list of places to stay in the future.

When purchasing your tickets through Disney, a few When purchasing your tickets through Disney, a few things you need to know before you purchase: 

1️⃣ How many days are you visiting, and do you need a single day ticket or a multi-day ticket? 
2️⃣ Single park per day or park hopper tickets? Park hoppers are more expensive, but offer more flexibility to switch between parks starting at 11 am.
3️⃣ Which park are you wanting to visit? You need to select which park you’ll be in for the day(s) of your ticket, and if you have a park hopper tickets, you’ll select which park you’ll start your morning in. 
4️⃣ Are you wanting to add lightning lane multipass to use lightning lanes and have shorter lines? You can add that to your ticket when purchasing which locks in the lowest price of $32 per ticket per day, or if you skip it but change your mind, you can always purchase multipass on the day of your visit. 5️⃣ If you cannot use your ticket, you cannot get a refund if you only purchase tickets. Try changing your dates and cancel your reservations and make new theme park reservations. If your tickets expire, see if you can apply the value of your tickets to new tickets. 
6️⃣ Single day tickets use a tiered ticket system. Each date has a tier assigned to it. If you have a single day ticket and need to change the date you visit, you must use your ticket on a date that is the same number tier or a lower tier. 
7️⃣ When you purchase your tickets through Disney, your theme park reservations are made at the same time when you select your dates.

Have you ever done the goat stare on Thunder Mount Have you ever done the goat stare on Thunder Mountain at Disneyland? 🐐

When you get to the top of the big hill, keep your eyes on Billy the goat holding dynamite in his mouth on your right. As you go around the curve, turn your body so you’re staring him down the whole time, this makes this corner feel way more intense and so much more fun! You’ll get the best results from the goat trick if you are in the very back of the train, row 15 is the pristine spot to do it! 

Tell me, do you do the goat stare or do you just ride normally?
