One of the best vacations that we took with our children was to Disneyland in California. In addition to an unbelievable air fare sale that will probably never be repeated (Family of 5 round trip from SAT to LAX $250 - that's for the family not per person).
There are three hotels associated with the park. The Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel.
There are also Good Neighbor Hotels. Far too many to list here - but here is a page that has the list. I stayed in a hotel across the street from the main gate of Disneyland. It was much more affordable and when I choose a hotel - I look for one that is clean, one that is safe, and one close to where I'm going to be spending most of my time. I look at it as a place to shower and sleep.
Pricing packages for 2 adults, 2 children with 5 day park tickets at a Good Neighbor Hotel - Holiday Inn is $1,993.14 verses the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is $5,061.14.
Another option is to book the hotel only, and use a discount plan to buy the park hopper tickets. Be sure to compare before booking to see which works best for your budget.
The last time we went, we had bought a package. This included the cost of the hotel, tickets for the park, and 2 get away days that were included in the 7 day package. The get away days were tickets for the San Diego Zoo and Knott's Berry Farm.
Disneyland has discounts on the special offers page.
There are meal plans available also. Since we were there during Christmas week, we took advantage of the Christmas Dinner Buffet at the Disneyland Hotel. Great buffet and well worth the money! My children, including the older ones still remember the characters coming around and taking their pictures with them, and the Gingerbread houses that were almost as big as they were!
If you go, HAVE A GREAT TIME! The memories are well worth it!
