The Ultimate Guide to Disneyland’s Hotels

My favorite Good Neighbor hotel is the Anaheim Majestic Gardens :) It's themed to a fairytale princess story so still kinda has that Disney vibe + it has direct shuttle access!

Disneyland looks like a dream 😍 the thought of being able to walk to the parks … mind blown 🤯

I wish you had gone through the good neighbor hotels in more detail. Unlike Disney world, there are no budget hotel options at Disneyland. They are all deluxe level prices. As such many of us opt for the the 3rd party hotels across the street. Some of them are even closer to the entrance than Disneyland's own resorts!

Just got back from my trip. Trader Sam’s is AMAZING! Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had. Even the room service, while expensive, was really great.

Staying at the Big Thunder Suite in December for my ride or die buddy’s 12th birthday.

so glad i stayed across the street when we did our one-time disneyland trip. So much cheaper and closer walking than the disneyland hotel.

We have only ever been to Disney World. I am so interested in Disneyland and I would love to learn more about it. There is just so much info about Disney World it seems easier to navigate than Disneyland as an out of towner. Hoping for more guides and info from you about Disneyland in the months to come! 👍🏻👏🏻

If you’re looking for a nice Good Neighbor hotel, i can’t recommend Candy Cane Inn enough!

Glad to see the Anaheim property get a little love and attention! Could DFBGuide do a guide for the Disneyland good neighbor hotels? I know its a lot, but would be a good long term project. Only about 100 small hotels around the property ;)

I’ve been waiting for this!!! Thanks AJ!

Wonderful to see some Disneyland love

I won’t go to Disneyland if I can’t stay at the Disneyland Hotel. It’s the perfect duo!

Oh to stay at the big thunder suite

Given the nature of Disneyland's more tightly built resort area compared to WDW, you'll find yourself going back to your hotel in the middle of the day to escape the heat or the crowds, and because it's easy to walk to or take a five minute uber to your hotel. Also because of only having two parks, you may stay a shorter visit compared to WDW and allot less time to relaxation away from the parks. It's very important you get a great hotel that meets this need.. the Grand Californian meets every expectation for this but staying there for a week can put you out 6,000. Search wisely for your hotel!

I ate at storytellers for breakfast and alllll the princesses from napa rose came past us and said hello. For free. Lol

I'm debating between a one bedroom villa at the Disneyland hotel villas and a club level preferred view room at grand Californian. The location and direct entry to dca is tempting but the new villas look so nice. Any thoughts?

Just got back from a Disneyland trip a few days ago. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, third time doing so. I have also stayed at a good neighborhood hotel before. The Disneyland Hotel can be a bit of a further walk than a few of the good neighbors hotels. However, the ambiance and quality of the rooms, staff, early park access, and food options and access (e.g. early and late night room service) make it worth it. One thing I will say, is the Goofy’s kitchen for dinner is not worth it right now, breakfast, yes, do it, but not dinner. We even noticed that a few nights of our trip you could gat same day dinning reservations for dinner, at peak times…this was not possible with any other dinning option we looked at, typically not a good sign.

We are headed to Disneyland soon, hotels were the hardest aspect of the whole trip. I don’t under why all the Disney hotels are soooo expensive and the good neighbor hotels look sooooo sketchy 🫣 wish they had hotels like the all stars in Disneyland! Even if they weren’t right there near the property but like 15min away… a 15min bus ride wouldn’t be so bad since some of the resorts take that long in WDW too.

I'm confused on my situation a little. So i'm planing a disney trip for my family on May 13 and 14th (Monday and Tuesday). I'm planning on staying at the disneyland hotel and since we are going to the parks on monday and tuesday. In order to get early entry could we check in on sunday night (maybe past midnight?) sleep then be ready for early entry monday? I live 2 hours away from disney and its alot of traffic and dont really know how to arrive on time without being sleep deprived. I dont wanna buy an extra hotel day in case we dont really use it enough

Any good prices at all around for Hotels.
