The four guest room towers are Fantasy Tower, Adventure Tower, Frontier Tower, and now Discovery Tower. Fantasy, Adventure, and Frontier are all derived from the names of the original Disneyland lands. “Tomorrow Tower” would have been an odd name, so Disney opted for Discovery Tower. The Disneyland Paris version of Tomorrowland is named Discoveryland.

A preview center for the new accommodations opened in May 2023. A grand opening celebration will be livestreamed at this link at 10:30 a.m. PDT / 1:30 p.m. EDT today. Open house previews will take place from September 29 through October 1.

The 12-story tower has 340 accommodations, including duo studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom villas, and three-bedroom grand villas. The rooms are inspired by different Walt Disney Animation Studios films. Imagineers drew inspiration from sketches, concept art, story cels, and color maps.

Disney states The Villas at Disneyland Hotel “celebrates the magic of creativity and storytelling like never before through contemporary designs and carefully curated pieces inspired by Disney Legends.”
