When I signed up to run the 2026 runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon, I knew I wanted to bring my family with me to stay near the action, both for the race and some fun in the Disneyland Resort theme parks. Since runDisney gets their athletes up EARLY to run, I wanted to be close to the start line, in a safe area, at a property with great family amenities, and of course, close to the parks. As a travel agent, I’ve toured, stayed in, and heard about so many great Disneyland Good Neighbor hotels, but had yet to enjoy the Tropicana Inn & Suites for myself. And boy, do I wish I had stayed there sooner!
