We ALWAYS stay at the Park Vue Inn. It's literally right across the street. They had a huge remodel years ago and it's a legit nice place to stay. We've stayed at The Grand Californian and I still prefer Park Vue.
We love to stay at the Camelot, valet parking is only $20. Last time we stayed there, as we were walking to Disneyland we met the one and only Chris and family. He was very friendly and awesome! Thanks Chris!!
One of my favorite Hotels is Candycane Inn. Could you please do a video on this property since their new renovations. We love the breakfast, pool area and free shuttle.
As someone who is going to Disneyland in 9 days, i see this as an absolute win. Edit: we are going to stay at the best western plus hotel, that hotel is an 10/10
I miss the Carousel Hotel that was squeezed between the Camelot and Tropicana. It had such a great view of Space Mt in their third floor breakfast room!
I’m on a Facebook Disney group and one of the most asked questions is about hotels: feedback, amenities, and proximity to the park. This video is a huge huge help and I will post it on the page. Thank you and love your videos!
Stayed at the Anaheim Inn 2 years ago. Great stay. Breakfast was limited because of Covid protocols but it was still good. We could see the fireworks from our top floor room. Close enough to take a mid day break ap, change shoes (highly recommended), then head back to the park. If you drive, parking costs more and it's limited. We have our reservations made here again for our next Disneyland trip.
We are Disney World pros, but we are going to Disneyland for the 1st time in April. I have been freaking out about where to stay. I have a young adult daughter with mobility issues, so finding a hotel close to Disneyland was really important to me. Your video was extremely helpful!!! You are appreciated!
The Camelot is literally right next door to the Tropicana (you can see the Camelot behind the Tropicana sign). The Camelot also has the motorized scooter/wheel chair rentals, a gym, and a roof top pool. The Tropicana is typically a lot more expensive than the Camelot for only a 30 second difference in walking time. The Best Western Plus is only 30 seconds closer than the Tropicana and is even more expensive. So save $$$ and walk an extra minute by staying at the Camelot.
These videos are very helpful as I'm planning to bring my family to our first Oogie Boogie Bash 2024. @iamtheomnimonkey I really appreciate you keeping the budget difference with just a one mine walk away for the three hotels . I'll be booking the Camelot thank you for the tips
Thank you! This is my first time planning a Disney trip myself so these videos have been so helpful. And have really given me a new appreciation for my father and all he did each year
Thanks, Chris. Our family is all about the closest stay since we spend so much time in the parks. We've stayed at the Camelot, Tropicana and Fairfield out of those you reviewed, and we love them all. The only reason we never reserved the Camelot suite you showed is because they don't have two bathrooms; that many people in two rooms with only one bathroom makes no sense. 😜
There are newer, nicer, cleaner, less expensive, hotels with better food and free parking on Harbor Blvd past the convention center. An Uber takes 5 minutes and costs $6-$8. Everyone is so fixated on being close that they overpay for a substandard hotel.
What do you get when you mix a pancake and a snowman? Flap Jack Frost. What do you get when you mix a snowman and a bowl of cereal? Frosty Flakes ⛄️ ☃️ ⛄️
As a silly little request, please include showing grab bars more. Is parking included or additional? Thank you, Chris! The last Disneyland trip I did, we stayed at a hotel near Disneyland BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME 😭 so these videos REALLY help! With aging parents, the grab bars are extremely helpful to see in hotels.
Thank you! I’m a Disney World girlie planning my first trip to Disneyland and I was really overwhelmed by the idea of not staying on property. This has been so helpful!
I’m coming back to this comment to say that this video helped us so much! We ended up booking at the Tropicana resort and I’m so excited to be walking distance to the park! Thank you 💜
Chris thanks for doing this; I think some of these are actually closer than the hotels on-property. We've stayed in a few of these and it's really nice to be so close.
Thank you! Our family stayed at the Best Western Anaheim Inn in 2022. Breakfast was fast, just as you said and we had no trouble making rope drop. The room was nice, and so close! For those used to WDW you will be shocked at how convenient these hotels are. And they are reasonably priced
Thank you so much for this episode!! I love getting a current view inside all of these hotels with the absolute best proximity to DL. I’ve stayed at a few of these but I like to see the current improvements/ refurbishments and it’s also a refresh for my brain since over time the hotels kind of become blurry as far as what they offer- distant from DL, amenities, etc. Love it!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for everything you provide Chris! Went with my family in May and decided to go again by myself last week. Your videos really helped me plan my trip and feel a lot more comfortable with going on my own. Might be going with my girlfriend after Thanksgiving so I’ll definitely be watching your videos for more info and tips!
We stayed at camelot inn and suites once. It was awesome being so close to disneyland! And we could watch the disneyland fireworks from the gazebo, which is right next to the rooftop pool and hot tub.
Thank you Chris! We are not even going to Disneyland and we watch your videos. Why? Because they are happy, interesting and make us feel like we are taking a mental vacation. We love you!
Good information, thanks. A group of seniors love to travel ... enjoy amusement parks ... are grateful to the closest resort! This gives us the opportunity to take a break / nap. Keep sharing: California - Disneyland & Universal; Tokyo - Disneyland & Universal.
Thank you! I live in Orange, and I've had park passes in the past when my girls were little; but cannot afford it right now. It makes me happy to see the fun places we used to go. You make positive difference!! 👍
Thank You!!!! My wife and I bumped into you at The DisneyLand Parks in Spring of 2022. We really appreciated your tips and insights that helped us plan our trip and made it more enjoyable!
We do the exact same place, 9th floor, face the park, for 7 years. I love this video! It's about time I can see all the differences and benefits like this.
Thank you! Hoping to go back to Disneyland in the next year or so, and this really helped. Love the Mickey shaped pineapples! I still miss the days when, as a kid in the 1970s, we'd stay at the Disneyland Hotel and ride the monorail into the park from the hotel. Those were the days! ❤
Thank you again! I know they are all very close together but it's still a lot of walking and filming for one day. I really appreciate you taking the time do show us all these rooms.
We love staying at Park Place! What I would have LOVED is to hear which ones have adjoining rooms. Maybe they all do - we’ve stayed at half of these - but it’s a big deal for our family.
Thank you for these videos it’s always nerve-racking to book hotels based on pictures so when you go and tell us how close they are and we can see them. It helps a lot.
Thank you! Your references to the throne make us laugh. On that note, we also appreciated your British castles tour where you showed us the origin of that term. Love your videos. Binge watching as life has been pretty crazy and we finally have some time to watch them.
Thank you! This is just what I needed for my first trip out there this October! Work is sending me for a week, and I need to decide where to stay that weekend to maximize my short time at DL.
THANK YOU!!! I always stay at the same place on Harbor at the Fairfield Marriot because it's so familiar, pretty quiet and I know it's CLEAN! So it's really nice to see the other rooms incase I want to make a change! Thank you so very much!
Thank you very much for this vid. I am interested in the walking time, ball park cost for the rooms you show and yay or nay on breakfast included. Thank you so much so very helpful
Thank you for all the information you provide us! Really appreciate your take on the local hotels. Disneyland is my home and have been going since 1980 and have stayed at a lot at the local ones to include Disneyland Hotel and Grand Californian.
Thank You! I want to stay at the first Best Western you showed. It used to be the Desert Inn and Suites in 2000. We stayed at the Anaheim Inn Hotel and Suites down the street in August 2000.
Thank you, I am looking for a hotel for my next trip...I will be with my kids and grandchildren...hoping to find a big suite with a connected room.....You are awesome ❤
We love your jokes! Funny story… 2007 our little family, hubby, me, Hon (11), Ammon (9), Megan (7) took our first family trip to Disneyland. I packed our microwave and pancake griddle to eat on the cheep. Haha When we got to the room I was setting things up and unpacking when the 11yr old said he needed to use the bathroom. I said okay. I thought I heard the main door open but I didn’t think anything of it. The next thing I hear is that 11yr old come in that front door and says, “ The lady at that front desk said we have a bathroom IN our room!” That’s when I realized we need to get these kids out more often!!! 😂😂😂
Over the top helpful, especially for those of us who live far away! LOVE LOVE LOVE Get Away Today!! They are the nicest people and so helpful! I even got my daughter to use them on her last trip to Disneyland! We stayed at the Grand Legacy on our last family trip.
When I went in 2019, I stayed at the Desert Palms. Its on the same block at Disney (no walking across the street. Its a bit further to walk (maybe 5 minutes), but looks over California Adventure, including on a rooftop deck. It had breakfast included when I went. I was able to go grab a muffin and a drink and eat on the go walking to the Park. Also has underground parking. Room was great, as was the staff. Was priced a bit better than being right across the street, but close enough to not make a difference.
Thank you, Chris! Sometimes my hubby and I don't want to make the hour plus drive home from the park, or we want to make a weekend of it. Seeing all the hotels close to the park was super helpful. 💜
I stayed at Camelot about 4 rooms down from the pool at the beginning of June and it was lovely. My only complaint was taking a soak in the tub and the light turned off
Hey Chris! THANK YOU for this video! You're always such a great help and I love your family. Hope to run into you on a Disneyland trip (we'll be there this Christmas!)
Next week will be my one year anniversary of my first time at Disneyland (coming from the east coast). This video is bringing up fond memories of my trip ❤❤❤
Thank uou! Really useful. I love the more pracitcal videos a lot - that teach people how tings work in the park. Particularly for people who are not Californians, or even Americans so they migth not know the basics.
Thank you. This was great. We did Grand Legacy a lot, the noise can be a lot if you're in the main building but the other rooms were great. Love the Anaheim hotel too.
We ALWAYS stay at the Park Vue Inn. It's literally right across the street. They had a huge remodel years ago and it's a legit nice place to stay. We've stayed at The Grand Californian and I still prefer Park Vue.
Whats park vue inn. I googled and. Nothing came up
Chris while pointing to the toilet: “ This is if you ever use that” 🤭 I love you Chris! You always make me laugh! Thank you so much! 💖
THANK YOU!
Thank you I needed to know this
My husband and I laughed at that too 😂
Also, I have to say- the coffee joke (mugged) was too notch dad humor 😂😂 loved it!!!

Thank you. About to book our November trip and saving about $200 with your link. We always stay at the Anaheim hotel. Thank you again. ❤
Thank you Chris! Very helpful! I live on the East coast and want to visit Disneyland but had NO IDEA how close hotels were to Disneyland. Thank you!

@@mjwbulich sounds very pleasant and easy but when you have multiple children with strollers, getting on and off a car is not preferred. Time is $$$
@@mjwbulich could you name some of your favorite hotels?
What do you get when you mix a pancake and a snowman? Flap Jack Frost.
What do you get when you mix a snowman and a bowl of cereal? Frosty Flakes

Great video! We're staying at the Park Vue Inn this Fall. The closest hotel to the Disneyland entrance on Harbor.
Thank you! My daughter & I stayed in a hotel by Disney the first time. It was fine. You don’t have to stay on property to have a great time!
As a silly little request, please include showing grab bars more.
Is parking included or additional?
Thank you, Chris!

Love it!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, this video is so extremely helpful for families like mine, who have never been to Disneyland and are overwhelmed by all the options.
Thank you for everything you provide Chris! Went with my family in May and decided to go again by myself last week.

Hello Chris for the clothes closet you have the first word right and the back in the old days it's called wardrobes
Thank You 🧐
We stayed at camelot inn and suites once. It was awesome being so close to disneyland! And we could watch the disneyland fireworks from the gazebo, which is right next to the rooftop pool and hot tub.
My Mother-in-law stayed at the Tropicana and she loved it plus they also have showers 🚿 instead of tubs for people that are Handycaped💜💜💜
Thank you Chris! We are not even going to Disneyland and we watch your videos. Why? Because they are happy, interesting and make us feel like we are taking a mental vacation. We love you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much. 💚💙

Thank you Sir.
We stay at the Fairfield every time, and the top floor park facing, you can hear the park. My favorite mornings. Great park vibes.
We do the exact same place, 9th floor, face the park, for 7 years. I love this video! It's about time I can see all the differences and benefits like this.
Chris.... We do appreciate you and your help/advice/tips/tricks/tie/advice/jokes very much.
Staying at Tropicana in Dec 2023. 2nd time staying. Close to Parks, great, clean hotel, great staff.
Thanks. It just helps to see what the rooms look like without judging them via photos online.
Thank You ❤😊🎉
Thank you. Being from overseas looking at things like what plugs are by the bed and drawer/wardrobe space and bathroom is VERY helpful.
Every time I go to Disneyland I always stay at the Fairfield INN it’s a great place to stay while visiting Disneyland
Thank you. I'm staying at Best western plus park place inn your videos helped me choose the perfect hotel
Thank you! Hoping to go back to Disneyland in the next year or so, and this really helped. Love the Mickey shaped pineapples!
I still miss the days when, as a kid in the 1970s, we'd stay at the Disneyland Hotel and ride the monorail into the park from the hotel. Those were the days! ❤
This is actually amazing. Thank you so much. Coming over from Australia to visit the parks and didn’t know where to stay. Thank you so much
Thanks. These types of videos are super helpful. I feel that some hotels will make the rooms and are look nicer or larger than they really are.
Thank you- it is so much better to see inside the rooms and other details than just looking at a map
Thank you. I found your videos almost two years ago from a video you did on Disney Genie. Please keep them coming
We love getaway today! I never do anything Disney through anyone else! I book with them for EVERYTHING 🎉
Camelot Inn and Suite are our favorite hotel to stay at on our Disneyland trips.
Thank you again! I know they are all very close together but it's still a lot of walking and filming for one day. I really appreciate you taking the time do show us all these rooms.
We love staying at Park Place! What I would have LOVED is to hear which ones have adjoining rooms. Maybe they all do - we’ve stayed at half of these - but it’s a big deal for our family.
Our FAV spot! Tropicana Inn & Suites… Been staying there for YEARS
🥳🥳🥳
I love staying at the grand legacy. I always recommend it to everyone who says they are going to Disneyland
Thank you for these videos it’s always nerve-racking to book hotels based on pictures so when you go and tell us how close they are and we can see them. It helps a lot.
Thank You, Our family is staying at one of these hotels early next year and it's nice to see a most recent view of the room.
Thanks alot. Planning to go this year 2024❤ with my family
Thank you. I like staying at Fairfield Inn
Me too!
Great vlog esp for first time visitors! The locations for these hotels couldn't be more perfect especially after a long day at Disney or DCA.
Thank you! Your references to the throne make us laugh. On that note, we also appreciated your British castles tour where you showed us the origin of that term. Love your videos. Binge watching as life has been pretty crazy and we finally have some time to watch them.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! This is just what I needed for my first trip out there this October! Work is sending me for a week, and I need to decide where to stay that weekend to maximize my short time at DL.
Thank you!! Yes this is great! Content we don’t get from other Disneyland vloggers!!
I have stayed at the Best Western Park Place before and we loved it. So close. So convenient
We also stayed at the Camelot and enjoyed it, but we like BW better. But that’s just our opinion and experience
Thank you. We stay at the Grand legacy
Thank you. It's one thing to see things on a map and a completely different things to see it on a video. It really does help.
THANK YOU!!! I always stay at the same place on Harbor at the Fairfield Marriot because it's so familiar, pretty quiet and I know it's CLEAN! So it's really nice to see the other rooms incase I want to make a change! Thank you so very much!
Thank you, may stay closer next time!
This is so helpful, thank you!! That coffee machine would make the rooms pay for themselves; basically free! (Girl math)
Thank you - my aunt and I are planning a Disneyland trip next year since we haven’t seen each other since 2010.
Thank you very much for this vid. I am interested in the walking time, ball park cost for the rooms you show and yay or nay on breakfast included. Thank you so much so very helpful
Thank you. I've stayed at the grand legacy a couple of times and loved seeing it again
The one and only time at Disneyland we stayed at the holiday inn and suites just a block away from downtown Disney
Thank you for all the information you provide us! Really appreciate your take on the local hotels. Disneyland is my home and have been going since 1980 and have stayed at a lot at the local ones to include Disneyland Hotel and Grand Californian.
We stayed at the Camelot for 3 days and it was great a 10 min walk to Disneyland entrance great room to stay in! 👍💜💜💜
Doing research for my first ever trip to Disneyland/California/West Coast in general all the way from Virginia! So excited!!
Thank You! I want to stay at the first Best Western you showed. It used to be the Desert Inn and Suites in 2000. We stayed at the Anaheim Inn Hotel and Suites down the street in August 2000.
Thank you soo much. Your videos are appreciated 😊

Thank you Chris. I haven't been to Disneyland for years .
Thank you Chris. Hotel tours are helpful. Our fav place to stay is Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn and Suites. Great location and the staff is so nice!
When I went in 2019, I stayed at the Desert Palms. Its on the same block at Disney (no walking across the street.

Thank you for this video. We are planning for next year and have never been. We have no idea where to stay!! This helps so much.
you are absolutely adorable and i love you. your enthusiasm is contagious and i love that you love what you're doing. thank you :)
There’s something really special about these hotel tours. It just helps tremendously when planning a trip! Perfect timing for this !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Hey Chris! THANK YOU for this video! You're always such a great help and I love your family. Hope to run into you on a Disneyland trip (we'll be there this Christmas!)
Thanks for identifying the thing that some people use. I am one of those people, I don't stay unless there is one.
Next week will be my one year anniversary of my first time at Disneyland (coming from the east coast). This video is bringing up fond memories of my trip ❤❤❤
Thank you Chris! As a family, it’s great to see what these hotels provide as trying to get that info one at a time is such a pain!
Thank you! I still don’t know which hotel to stay at that’s close to Disney and nice. This video helps narrow down my choices. ❤
Thank you for doing videos like this. It's really helpful!
Thank you so much love jarl ❤❤❤❤
Thank uou! Really useful. I love the more pracitcal videos a lot - that teach people how tings work in the park. Particularly for people who are not Californians, or even Americans so they migth not know the basics.
Thank you. I've always wondered about these hotels near Disneyland and you covered what we can expect and more! And keep those Dad Jokes coming.
Thank you. This was great. We did Grand Legacy a lot, the noise can be a lot if you're in the main building but the other rooms were great. Love the Anaheim hotel too.
Thank you! Appreciate this updated tour of hotels nearest to Disneyland.
Thank you!! I love seeing the hotels. It's a better perspective than pictures online!
