We will be strictly at Disneyland 1/4/17-1/7/17 for our first trip. I have the Park Vue Inn booked. Good value, got a suite and free breakfast and wifi. It is right across the street. I looked at the on property hotels (we are on property when we stay at WDW) but it was nearly $1000 less for the park Vue inn. I looked at the discounts when they came out for DL hotels but figured there was no way my husband would want to pay that.
Now of course after he discounts are over, he wants to stay at the Grand Californian. It's about $1k more and we do get the early entry. His reasoning is that we probably won't be out to Disneyland for a while (we're yearly WDW people) so we should splurge while there.
We do love the feel of staying at a Disney hotel but not sure I want to spend that extra money. Plus TripAdvisor does not have very favorable reviews (but I take with a grain of salt because most of the reviewers are going to be people who had something wrong or like to complain)
Also are all of the rooms updated now? Some pictures online still show old rooms. And the other DL hotels are out...if we are going to do it we want to be right at the CA gate.
Talk me into it
