We are planning our first visit to Disneyland in January for 3 days. In researching hotels, I am torn and am looking for some advise. I was leaning toward the Courtyard because I prefer a hotel style and love the idea of having a theme park view. However, recent reviews seem to indicated it is getting a bit worn. Thoughts? I was also wondering if it is worth the money for a January trip, given that it will likely be too cold to take advantage of the waterpark. I was also considering the Candy Cane Inn. The reviews of the rooms are overwhelming positive but it lacks views and I worry about motel style noise. We will have a car and generally do not valet, so that is another strike against Courtyard. We want a hotel with under a mile walk. I had also considered the Fairfield, Best Western Plus Anaheim and Springhill Suites but eliminated them based on some reviews I read. SpringHill Maingate seemed nice but I ruled it out due to the walk. JW Marriott also seemed nice but it was on the edge of how far I wanted to walk. Are there others I should consider? We love a good pool but aren't likely to swim unless it is pretty warm. We are a party of 3 adults and appreciate a good supportive bed. 1 of us is a light sleeper. The rates aren't out yet for the Disenyland Hotel, which is the onsite I'd prefer but I am assuming the rates will just be too much to justify. When we go to World we stay at a moderate or a deluxe. Thanks for the help.
