For many people, visiting Disneyland isn’t complete without staying in one of the official Disney operated hotels. After all, how can you be expected to get the full Disney experience unless you are surrounded by all things Disney around the clock?
The problem with this attitude–which the Disney marketing people would love us all to have–is it gives many people the impression that a trip to Disneyland has to be extremely expensive. The truth is there are a variety of different hotels near Disneyland and many of them are quite affordable. Just note that they won’t all be the full-service, high-luxury resorts like the Disneyland Hotel. It is worth the money if you can afford to stay at an official Disneyland hotel, but if you’re on a tight budget don’t write off the surrounding accommodations as too expensive.
