Grand Legacy At the Park

10/10 Excellent
"We booked 3 rooms, all joined together so the whole family could be together during the day but private while sleeping. It was just a short walk from the Disneyland Park. The pool was fun for the kids and had excellent on site parking. We could see the fireworks from our room."
