Finding the right place to stay at Disneyland can really set the tone for your trip. I like to choose my hotel based on how much time I’ll actually spend in the room versus exploring the parks. Staying close is a huge plus, especially if I want to take a break midday.
There are a few on-property hotels that really keep you in the Disney bubble. I love the convenience of walking right to the parks from places like the Disneyland Hotel or Disney’s Grand Californian. Plus, staying on-site often comes with perks like early entry.
If I’m looking to save a bit, there are plenty of nearby hotels just outside the resort area. A lot of them are just a short walk or quick shuttle ride away, so you’re still close to the action without paying the premium for an on-site stay.
Booking early usually gets you the best rates, especially if you’re visiting during peak times. Comparing prices between on-site and off-site hotels helps make the most of your budget without missing out on convenience.
