So many choices! We are a family of 5 with three kids (13, 12 and 9 at the time), headed to Anaheim in mid-June. We will spend 3 days at Disneyland and another 2 doing Hollywood, etc... We will spend 5-6 nights in an Anaheim hotel/house. Grand Californian and Disneyland Hotel break the bank for us. So, It's Paradise Pier (at about $400 a night), a Good Neighbor hotel at $200 to $300 per night, or a condo/rental at $250-$300 per night.
From what I can tell, Paradise Pier is notably more expensive and no closer to the 'action,' but it keeps you in the bubble. Good Neighbor Hotels can be a reasonable walk and are a little cheaper, but the ones that save you money don't offer much in the way of pools, room size, etc... A rental gives you more space but you likely have to drive in and park, will have to deal with getting supplies, etc...
We are avid Disney fans and regular visitors to WDW (always staying on property). This is only our second trip to DL (last was in 2010), and will most certainly be the last with the kids. We will have a car.
So, which one would you choose, and why?
