If you've been waiting for a better rate at a Disneyland Resort hotel, January and February are your window. Disney has two winter offers running, and both are for Sunday through Thursday nights, January 4 through February 25, 2027.
Here's how they compare and which one I'd use, followed by a quick look at each hotel so you can pick the right one for your group.

The Two Winter Offers
Everyone: Save Up to 20%
Anyone can save up to 20% on select rooms at the four Disneyland Resort hotels, including standard, premium and concierge rooms.
Disney Visa Cardmembers: Save Up to 30%
If you have a Disney Visa, the savings go up to 25% on standard rooms and 30% on premium and concierge rooms. Two rules to watch:
The deposit has to be paid with your Disney Visa (or a Disney Rewards Redemption Card). If not, Disney charges the full price for the whole stay.
The cardmember who booked has to show the card at check-in and stay in one of the rooms.
Which Hotels Are Included
Both offers cover all four Disneyland Resort hotels: Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, the Disneyland Hotel, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel. Some room types are excluded, including signature and premium suites and 2- and 3-bedroom villas.
Key Dates
Stay: Sunday–Thursday nights, January 4 to February 25, 2027
Book by: February 17, 2027
Travel completed by: February 26, 2027
Friday and Saturday nights aren't discounted, so a Sunday-to-Thursday stay is where this works best.
The Fine Print
Rooms set aside for these offers are limited.
Neither offer can be combined with other hotel discounts.
Taxes and fees aren't discounted.
You're limited to two rooms per reservation.
Park tickets and park reservations are separate, and a hotel booking doesn't guarantee a park reservation.
If you've already booked a room for these dates, Disney lets you check whether an offer applies by changing your existing reservation.
A Quick Look at Each Hotel
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
The splurge. It's a Craftsman-style lodge with its own entrance straight into Disney California Adventure, and it's a short walk to Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney. If you can only do one Disney hotel, this is usually the one I steer people to.
Disneyland Hotel
The original Disneyland hotel, near the monorail station, with Disney-themed rooms (like the fireworks headboard in the photo at the top of this post) and a pool area with waterslides. It's a great fit for families who want classic Disney theming.
The Villas at Disneyland Hotel
Disney Vacation Club villas inside the Disneyland Hotel complex. Studios and villas with kitchen space work well for longer stays or bigger groups, though the larger villas are excluded from these offers.
Pixar Place Hotel
The most budget-friendly of the four, themed around Pixar films, and close to Disney California Adventure. Disney highlights character sightings and fireworks viewing here.
You can compare all four on Disney's Disneyland Resort hotels page.
Disney Hotel or Good Neighbor Hotel?
Disneyland also has Good Neighbor hotels, which are Disney-approved hotels that aren't owned by Disney. Some are, as Disney puts it, "as close as across the street," and they're often cheaper.
Here's how I think about it:
Stay at a Disney hotel if location and theming are the point of the trip, you want to walk back mid-day, or you'll use one of these offers to bring the price down. Disney also lists theme park perks for its own hotels, so check what's current when you book.
Look at a Good Neighbor hotel if you're mostly sleeping there and want to save more, or the Disney hotels are sold out for your dates.
With up to 20–30% off, the gap between the two gets a lot smaller in January and February, which is why I'd price both before deciding.
Why I Like Disneyland in January and February
Once the holiday decor comes down after January 6, crowds usually ease up, especially midweek. Pairing a weekday visit with one of these offers is one of the better-value ways to stay on property at Disneyland.
The trade-off is the weather (cooler, and occasional rain) and some attractions closing for routine refurbishment in the quieter months. I check the refurbishment schedule before locking in dates.
