Just got back from a 4 night stay at the FFI Disneyland. Made a reservation for a king bed room, but my request for a room with 2 beds was met at check in for being a Plat (I decided to take my mom as a pre-Christmas gift). I was further upgraded to a high floor themed (Toy Story) room, so that was nice. You can watch the nightly DL fireworks from the hotel -- it's a great view, but unfortunately no music.

As a Plat I was given a bag with 2 little water bottles, a bag of microwavable popcorn, and a Kind bar. I also received a coupon for 1 free small coffee and 1 bagel OR muffin for ONE morning of my stay. There were a lot of these blue bags behind the counter, and I never got one as Gold, so I guess there were quite a few Plats staying there. Also was able to check in early (1:30) so that was nice.

It's not the most luxurious FFI. It has exterior corridors. It doesn't offer free breakfast. But it was a great price ($138/night) and a 10 min walk to the front gate of Disneyland. I've stayed here for every trip to DL and will continue to do so.

I saw the new CY next door - the water park looks amazing! Also, they are building a brand new Panera in front of the FFI, so another food option.
