Hotels with Free Breakfast Near Disneyland
1. Cambria Hotel & Suites
Opened in 2020, the Cambria Hotel & Suites is one of the newest hotels in Anaheim. It has a 30,000-square-foot water park, hot tubs, cozy fire pits, a sport court, BBQ area, putting green, an oversized outdoor movie wall and several restaurants on property.
Another great feature of this family-friendly hotel is its free breakfast buffet, serving a wide variety of both hot and cold items.
Even better, the breakfast area is large, meaning you will never have a problem finding a table for your family to sit and eat and be on your way quickly. Make your own Mickey waffles every morning at Cambria’s free breakfast buffet.

2. Days Inn and Suites Anaheim at Disneyland Park
Days Inn and Suites falls into the budget hotel category, but as one of just a few hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast and a free shuttle, along with other amenities including free parking and an outdoor swimming pool, Days Inn is a great hotel to consider if you are traveling on a budget!
The breakfast at Days Inn is pretty minimal – more of a grab & go situation, although there is seating. Food options include cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, and coffee. But if you are on a budget, this hotel is an excellent value!

3. Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center
Of the hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast on this list, I have to say Element Anaheim Resort takes the top spot for its breakfast offerings!
There is a wide variety of choices both hot and cold, and plenty of seating in the dining area. The spread includes all the foods you’d expect to find, plus some unique and tasty choices including breakfast tacos, fritatas, egg whites, and veggies.
The hotel itself is really nice, too. A new hotel and part of the Westin brand, Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center is an extended stay hotel with a variety of rooms and suites, including family suites with bunk beds. Everything here is clean, modern, spacious and very well-designed.

5. SpringHill Suites Anaheim Resort/Convention Center
SpringHill Suites Anaheim has a few great things going for it: a location solidly within walking distance to Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney, big rooms with kitchen amenities and some with bunk beds, and a nice free breakfast.
My son and I have stayed at this hotel a few times and it’s always a comfortable, convenient hotel. It has an urban, sophisticated feel, which is rare for the SpringHill Suites brand but very enjoyable.
My one complaint is the pool area and fitness center are tiny. (Is that two complaints?) But if you are not planning to use these amenities much, you’re good to go!

6. Candy Cane Inn
The Candy Cane Inn is a moderately priced hotel located less than a half mile from the parks. It is one of the few hotels near Disneyland with shuttle and free breakfast, too! Although it is within easy walking distance to the parks, transportation to and from the parks is included with your stay.
Candy Cane Inn Anaheim Resort offers suites with either a king or two queen beds. As an older property, the décor is somewhat outdated (though some would argue in a cool retro kind of way). Overall, the hotel overall is clean and very well kept.
Candy Cane Inn offers a free continental breakfast buffet that can be enjoyed on their pool terrace. The spread includes a mix of assorted cold cereals, instant oatmeal, breads, muffins, bagels, pastries, hard boiled eggs, cubed cheese, fresh whole fruit, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and juice.

Perks of Staying at a Disneyland Hotel with Free Breakfast
There are many perks that come along when breakfast is included with your hotel stay.
First and foremost, it will save you a ton of money! A family of four can easily spend $50 per day on even the most basic breakfast at a restaurant. You’ll be spending enough money at the parks. Why not save where you can?
Next, hotels with free breakfast near Disneyland are casual and convenient. Most open in the very early morning, hours before the parks, so there is plenty of time to eat before you go.
We love rolling downstairs first thing in the morning to fill up on a hearty breakfast (and get that caffeine fix, too!). Most of the hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast offer a bountiful buffet. Everyone can get what they want and get it quick.
From Mickey-shaped waffles to fresh fruit, coffee, juice and even eggs. It is hot and fresh and ready to go. There’s no wait for a table and no bill to pay. And if you don’t want to change out of your PJs before going downstairs, that’s cool, too!
And finally – perhaps the most important factor with a Disney vacation – breakfast at your hotel saves time. By enjoying a good breakfast before you arrive at the parks, you won’t need to take the time to find food there. This will allow you to take full advantage of low morning crowds and get on more rides.
In short, staying at one of the many great hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast buffets are the way to go!
