Greetings, Lauren, I’m glad you found us at planDisney!
It’s always exciting to hear fellow guests are planning an upcoming trip to the
Disneyland Resort. Outside of the Disneyland Resort Hotels, there are over 50
Good Neighbor hotels in the Anaheim Resort Area to choose from. These are all Disney-approved hotels close to the Disneyland Resort. I love that you can explore these options and even book on the Disneyland website, too!
When booking a Good Neighbor hotel, you’ll need to look at a
vacation package. The availability on the website is typically what’s available directly through Disney only. In my experience, I’ve called the
Vacation Package hotline before and they’ve found a bigger room to accommodate our family. However, that is not guaranteed and is always subject to availability at the time of booking. I must say, there was a bit of pixie dust in the air for us that day!
Some of our
favorite Good Neighbor hotels have suites, and a pool, and are within walking distance (less than a mile) to the Disneyland Resort. It really depends on the budget, our party size for the trip, and what’s available. Did you know that some hotels even have fireworks/theme park views? We recently stayed at
Hotel Lulu Anaheim Resort with a fireworks view and have also enjoyed fireworks from
Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground and
SpringHill Suites Anaheim Resort Convention Center.
Hopefully, this information helps as you plan, Lauren. There’s a lot to consider when booking your hotel, so if I can be of any more support, feel free to
send me another message!
Magic awaits!
Camille
