When we go to Disneyland we stay off-property to save money and always stay at hotels that are super close to the Disneyland entrance.
In this post I’m going to share with you the best hotels within walking distance of Disneyland. Staying within walking distance makes a big difference on time and money for your trip.
The first time Adam and I went to Disneyland together, we stayed at a hotel that we thought was within walking distance, but once we did the walk we realized it wasn’t as close as we thought. Our feet were already getting sore by the time we got to the parks in the morning. Learn from our mistake and stay at a much closer hotel.
Staying closer means you won’t have to take an Uber or shuttle to the parks. If you have a rental car you can always park at Disneyland, but this costs money and adds so much time to your day. We really just love walking.
We suggest staying at hotels along South Harbor Blvd since they’re just across the street from Disneyland.
These are our favorite hotels that you can walk to Disneyland from.
1. Fairfield Anaheim Resort
Somehow we almost always find ourselves staying at the Fairfield Anaheim Resort even though we have a list of other hotels we want to stay at soon.
We just love the Fairfield! It’s about a 9 minute walk and 0.4 miles to the Disneyland security gates.
We feel safe here, the rooms are nice and clean, the room has a mini fridge, and there is a pool. If you can’t tell, I could go on and on about how much we love it.
Also, the workers are very professional and friendly. One time a worker made a mistake and he surprised my kids with a Stitch plush. It definitely made up for it.
2. Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground
The Howard Johnson aka Hojo is a 12 minute walk and 0.5 miles to the security gates.
