Tip of the Day #3 Disneyland and the Good Neighbor Hotels.

  When you go to WDW Resort in Florida, by all means stay at a Disney resort. I've stayed at four of them and they are all amazing.  I love being immersed in the Disney magic of the Resort.

  When you are at Disneyland, however, its not quite the same.   Even though their hotels are fabulous (and they are)  because you are surrounded by Anaheim, there isn't the feeling of total immersion that you sense in Florida.  Don't let this get you down!  Here is the good news!  There are several Good Neighbor hotels all around Disneyland that are nice, and reasonably priced.  Many of them are within walking distance, which means that you save on parking or shuttles.  In fact, several of them are even closer to the Main Entrance than the Disneyland Hotel or the Paradise Pier Hotel.  

  You can save time and money by doing this.  My family and I have stayed at several of these hotels in the past few years, ranging from the Super 8 on Katella to the Castle Inn and Suites on Harbor.
My favorite?  The Alamo Inn on Katella.  They have reasonably priced family suites and we like all the greenery around the hotel. We have stayed here twice, and we like it.  

  So, read all the reviews and look at the map to see the distances.  You might save a bundle.  Also, look into Getaway Today vacations.  They always have good deals for the Good Neighbor Hotels.  I've used them several times and they have always been exceedingly helpful.
