Hello there Gretchen, welcome to planDisney! We're so glad you're here with your great question.
I love booking my
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Packages through Costco Travel. You are correct that you will usually see the same pricing on both the Disneyland site as well as the Costco Travel Disneyland Resort booking site for Hotel Vacation Packages. However, the added benefit for Costco members is that you'll usually receive a Disney Gift Card as well! This can be so nice when looking to pay for a special
character dining meal or shop for some souvenirs!
We love to stay at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel during our trips, and we've had great stays at all of them. Our favorite benefit is the access to
early entry, where Guests who are checked-in and staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel will receive admission 30 minutes early to a designated theme park each day of their stay. We love to head to some of our favorite attractions first thing in the morning and cross those off of our list! You really cannot go wrong at any of the hotels, it truly just comes down to which is the best fit for your family.
I hope this information is helpful for you Gretchen, and you're able to book your magical trip soon! If we can help with any other planning questions or recommendations, please do not hesitate to
come back and ask.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
