Curator’s statement
Planning your magical getaway to Disneyland? Finding the perfect hotel can make all the difference in your vacation experience. Sometimes staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels is not the right choice for every theme park goer. Here are the best hotels to stay near Disneyland, each offering unique features to cater to different needs and preferences. Each property included here is within walking distance to the park entrance. It is helpful to note that while many hotels will say "across the street from Disneyland," that does not mean across the street from the entrance, which can add to extra-long transit times to the park. All walk times listed here are to actually get you to the front gate. As a bonus, when you work with a Fora Advisor, you can even score some extra perks at some of these properties.
