Hey there Kathleen,
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for your question! I'm such a huge fan of staying at one of the
Hotels of the Disneyland Resort. They keep the magic going throughout the entire trip plus you get access to the
Early Entry perk when you stay in them!
I typically have a fairly fixed date range within a week or so that I'm looking at when I'm trying to book, but if I do have some flexibility, I'll often try out different date combinations. However, you're correct that there isn't a nightly rate view available for these hotels.
From my experience, you'll typically find the lowest nightly rates earlier in the week. Though I also wanted to mention that there is currently a really great
special offer for up to 20% off select Sunday through Thursday hotel stays.
We used a similar offer for a trip last year and it helped to keep our trip within budget!
Also, depending on when you're planning on going, you might want to consider the newly reimagined
Pixar Place Hotel, which used to be the Paradise Pier Hotel. This open on January 30, and it looks amazing based on the
sneak preview on the Disney Parks Blog.
Thanks again for your question, Kathleen! I hope you enjoy your next trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
