Disneyland is the most popular destination in Anaheim, and hotels inside the complex serve as highly convenient options for visitors. However, it has often been mentioned in numerous travel journals that those hotels can be expensive, and you must know about other options, especially since they are similar and cheaper compared to the Disneyland hotels inside the complex.

Most of the Disneyland hotels inside the complex include bars, swimming pools, limited offers to Disneyland rides and resort based facilities such as spas and gaming areas. Now, one may question the extra investment into such facilities, especially if your prime target is visiting the Disneyland Park. As an alternative plan, you can choose to put up at hotels outside the Park premises, where you will find that a Disneyland stay would have cost you more than double.

Themed rooms for the avid Disney fan is available in hotels like Fairfield Inn, Park value Inn, Anabella Hotel and Super 8, all located within a walking distance of 3 - 4 minutes from the Disneyland Park gates. Your kids will not believe that they are not in Disneyland, especially with the room views looking into the heart of the Disneyland Park from these hotels.

The pros of choosing a hotel inside the Disneyland premises includes plush facilities and the large number of offers as your stay gets longer. Most of the offers, apart from Disneyland rides and event discounts, include shopping discounts and excellent dining facilities, in and around the Disneyland Park. This, however, is an advantage that is avail be in the cheaper hotels outside as well.
