If you want to stay onsite, the Grand Californian and Disneyland Hotel are the best choices. If you're staying offsite, the Fairfield is a good pick.
Our first trip, we stayed at PPH and it was lovely! The 20 minute walk to the gates? Not so much. If we had more than a week to hang out and just wander around, as well as the budget, we'd love to try the Disneyland Hotel just for the awesome rooms, cool pool, monorail, etc.
BUT, the savings of over $800 for a week, plus the 5 minute walk to the gates makes staying across on Harbor a better choice for our family.
It all depends on what your priorities are - EVERY day EMH/MM? Stay on site.
More money for souvies, churros, and Dole Whips? Stay across the street.
desert inn & Suites is cheaper the earlier you book.I have to agree with this. Have never stayed onsite but as posted earlier, we were right across the street at DI&S. We are not nappers or park breakers and we basically had breakfast at the motel and didn't return until bed time. For the money we saved, we splurged on the WOC Dessert Party, character meal and Fantasmic Dining Package (family of 4).
Thanks! this is super helpful. Have you ever done Airbnbs or VRBOs?
