Our family loves Disneyland and we have been more times than I can count.  Choosing the right hotel can make or break your trip and there are SO many to choose from.

On a budget

My favorite budget friendly Disneyland stay, walkable but a little further than some. It’s like a $6 uber if you’re too tired at the end of the day.

You can’t beat the price and the hotel is cute. Having CVS and Walgreens so close is also a huge plus. The walk can feel a little long at the end of the night but it’s definitely doable.

I liked this hotel because I could book a reasonable hotel room for six people. I always love this option if we’re traveling with friends and don’t want to spring for two rooms.

Going all out

Update: This might be my new favorite hotel! We’re here now and it’s fantastic. This is a new one for us that we’re trying out this weekend. We got a good deal using the Chase travel portal. It looks a lot nicer than other walkable hotels that we’v...

I loved our stay here but it felt more crowded than the Grand Californian. I would definitely stay here if my kids were younger!

This hotel is the next one that I'm trying.  We've walked through it and eaten but haven't booked a stay yet.

Some say that this is the nicest hotel near Disneyland and better than the Grand Californian. I hear they do movies by the pool and have a great rooftop patio. I’m going to try it out in November and will let you know. To me, nothing beats the locati...

Very walkable

You can't beat the location of hotels right on Harbor Blvd across from the entrance.

My favorite off property stay for Disneyland. It’s a super quick walk and they have double king rooms which are hard to find.

The room we stayed in was nice and roomy and I loved that there was a sink both inside and outside of the bathroom. We stayed in the older section becuase we got a great deal but the room was not remodeled.

I didn't love this one for the price but it is super close and the rooms were clean.

This one is SO close and so convenient but personally I’m walking a few more steps to get something slightly nicer.

Things to pack for the room

I will never travel again without at least one pop up hamper. Having a designated place for laundry makes all the difference when trying to keep the room tidy.

We always have a small cooler stocked with drinks. This saves money when we’re hanging out by the pool or just want drinks after a long park day.

I always throw an ice pack into the cooler for those sore knees after park days!

I don’t like relying on hotel pool towels, especially at the budget hotels. I love that these are huge but fold up small and have amazing designs.
