Greetings Aimee and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you'll be visiting the "Happiest Place on Earth" this summer!
If you are unable to book your
theme park tickets for the
Disneyland Resort for less than 7 days, I do suggest reaching out to a local travel agent. They will be able to help you navigate your trip over here to the States and get you setup for the best possible trip with your family!
You can definitely explore the
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Packages as well as the Disney-approved
Good Neighbor Hotel Vacation Packages to see if one of those will also work for your trip. We have stayed at both during our trips, and they both have great benefits. We love to stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel for the magical experience, touches, and service that only a Disney hotel can provide, but there are several great Good Neighbor Hotels within walking distance and also offer free breakfast. It really does come down to personal preference when selecting your hotel!
Best of luck securing your tickets Aimee, and if we can help with anything else, please
come back to planDisney!
Have a magical trip!
Melissa
