'Tis the season to book your summer trips, so Team Mousetalgia
takes our annual look at Disneyland Resort hotels and a variety of
area lodging options, and we offer tips and advice to make your
trip a success. First, we present the advantages as well as the
disadvantages of each of the Disneyland resort hotels (Paradise
Pier, The Disneyland Hotel, and the Grand Californian) and discuss
amenities, food, family activities, convenience, and more. Then, we
mention our top alternate hotels, and also look at the most
convenient hotels to the park. We also take a quick look at what to
think about before staying in a bargain hotel. Next, Jeff reports
on a special sneak preview of the upcoming book with the working
title "Marc Davis Goes to WED," which will carefully detail the
incredible design work Davis did for Imagineering after he left
Walt Disney Animation. Written by authors Chris Merritt and Pete
Docter, the book is a definite must-have for Disney fans. Plus
- a haunting comic book signing; our favorite Disneyland must-dos -
and more.
