Want the ultimate vacation escape at the Disneyland Resort? Stay at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Want an even grander escape? Splurge on one of a small handful of Signature Suites at the hotel. We had the amazing opportunity to stay one night at the El Capitan Suite and can tell you that, although these would be once-in-a-lifetime experiences, they will never be forgotten!

Offering modern elegance and located just south of the Disneyland Resort, the Springhill Suites - Anaheim Convention Center is a great option for families or anyone else looking for a great quality hotel without the Disneyland Resort Hotel prices. It's certainly not the least expensive option, but is definitely worth the extra money for everything it has to offer.

Nestled next to the Anaheim Convention Center, the Hilton Anaheim is a Good Neighbor Hotel with lots of space, available rooms, and is walking distance to the parks. We had very few regrets during our stay, but that ease of mind will come at slightly higher prices than other nearby options.

Though mostly made available to members of the Disney Vacation Club, technically anyone can book these rooms if you're able to pay cash, but for those DVC members who have not yet stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel, here's an idea of what you're missing out on so far because what this hotel lacks in the standard guest rooms it makes up for in the DVC villas!

The Disneyland Hotel is the original and most iconic of the Disneyland Resort Hotels and for a great reason.  As the name suggests they do their best to make your stay magical with the right Disney flare.  I've been able to stay at each DLR Hotel and this is by far my favourite, so if you can I would highly recommend you stay here. ​(UPDATED: 8 Sept 2017)
