In Disneyland Hotels, tourists got experience lots of "magic" everyday. The travel agent who are specializing in Disney vacations also said that spending holidays in Disneyland Hotels is a most unforgettable experience in life. However, one of the highlights of my career was my recent trip to Disneyland to stay in Disneyland Hotels.

Our visit to Disneyland started with a night in Mickey's Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel. Upon arrival, we were escorted up a glass elevator to the top floor of the Disneyland Hotel. As we walked to our room, the tour guide talked about some of the history of the hotel and Mickey's Penthouse. This penthouse is on the Concierge Floor with other rooms, but it is hard to miss this room. You see a big red double doors that say Mickey's Penthouse on a plaque. As you enter, all you can do it gasp. It really is Mickey's suite! The colors are all red, black and yellow with Mickey phones, Mickey statues, and pictures of the big mouse everywhere.

As you walk over to the living room, you cannot miss the floor to ceiling sliding glass windows with an incredible view of the Downtown Disney and Theme Parks. It is a beautiful view! The living room area is just as fun with Mickey colors (yellow, black and red) furniture and an entertainment center that has Disney Themed Books (all autographed by the writers) and statues and figurines of Mickey and friends. There is one huge flat screen TV and two smaller flat screen TVs (for the kids). On the ceiling is a huge Mickey Mouse shaped light that changes colors from blue to purple. This Mickey Mouse is the full length of the whole room.
Another fun feature of this room was the magic mirror. Right at the front entrance is an oval shaped mirror. This is Mickey's magic mirror. There are two lights on top of this mirror.

Anytime the lights flicker, Mickey Mouse would appear. You could actually interact with you. Mickey would tell jokes and you could actually answer the jokes and he would respond. Mickey Mouse was truly interacting with you in person.

One of the kids' favorite rooms is Mickey's Playroom. The playroom was truly all Mickey Mouse fun with a Mickey phone and lamp (that talked to you anytime you turned it on and off), a huge round bed, bean bag chair, and entertainment center that was the shape of Mickey's head. The entertainment center had lots of entertainment from video games to popular Disney movies. This room also had a sliding glass door with the views of Downtown Disney and the Theme Parks. Right next to the sliding glass door was an Animators Center where the kids could color and draw with black lights.

Melbourne, the queen-city tears through the evening with its contrasting star-lit spires which complements the golden hue of the horizon. The city is regarded as the cultural capital of Australia featuring Victorian-era architecture, many museums and beautiful gardens, but what makes Melbourne hotels unique is its weather which can change drastically and so quickly that it is also called ‘the city of four seasons in a day’. Travelers from around the world flock to Melbourne to catch up with major sporting events and exploring the surrounding regions.

Melbourne is the second-largest city in Australia and the capital of the south-eastern state of Victoria, located at the head of Port Phillip Bay. The sports-crazy city boasts of a multicultural population comprising of Greeks, Vietnamese, Italian, Jewish and others. Melbourne is full of tourist attractions and is indeed one of remaining few cities in the world which still have trams running right through the roads. While you take a ride through the city streets, you may spot the remaining Victorian-era building among the modern high-rises.

Melbourne has one of the world’s largest casinos, named the Crown Casino and there’s Albert Park which is home to Melbourne’s F1 Grand Prix circuit and you surely won’t want to miss that much of a speed. For travelers who love to dip their taste buds on culinary delicacies, Melbourne presents an abundance of affordable, high quality restaurants offering almost every cuisine.

Adventure lovers can have a whale of a time in Melbourne with a visit to the Grampians National Park which is famous for its hiking trails, wildlife and wildflowers. It’s perhaps the best place where you can spot Kangaroos right across the road when they come to feed. If you are lucky enough and have decent eyesight, you might as well spot the endangered koalas.

Though some luck might come in handy! A trip to the Phillip Island presents a delightful view the penguin parade in all its grandeur. St. Kilda is Melbourne’s beachside suburb and is immensely popular. The photogenic nature of Melbourne couldn’t have gone unnoticed and for sure, it’s one of the most popular filming locations in the world. Going around Melbourne is easy and cheap with car rentals, but some people actually find it interesting to roam around Melbourne by cycling and they do come cheap!

Accommodation in Melbourne is excellent which ranges from budget hotels to mid-range to luxurious hotels in and around the city. The City Center houses some of the best budget and luxurious Melbourne Hotels but travelers can also look for cheaper options in the seaside suburb of St. Kilda.
