Have a great time in Dland.

You will spend more, and if it's not worth it to you, then it's not worth it to you. But for me, the short walk through DtD is a pleasant part of my vacation. Even if it means saving for a couple more months just to stay on-site, I prefer that. If you're not up for that, I'd recommend checking the closest hotels on Harbor.
Originally Posted By ncnike7 We stay at Desert Inn and Suites on Harbor or Del Sol, which is right next door. Owned by the same people, I think. Both have suites.

Just to sleep at night and a nap during the day for the little ones. We have done the shuttle thing as well and hate waiting for it. We love being able to just walk across the street to our hotel. I think it is even a closer walk than the Disneyland Hotel or Paradise Pier. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me.

Originally Posted By grammy0901 we normally stay at Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites, or Hampton Inn and Suites - I love them all, and it just depends on my budget when I am booking - all have the generic shuttle, which we have never had issue with unless you leave the park at exactly closing time - that is when it gets backed up - more so if it is busy at DL in general

Hope they improve the shuttle and traffic flow ( cars and pedestrians). Any news for the proposed ,eternally, water park in Garden Grove?

Originally Posted By tizl We've stayed at Park Vue and Del Sol more recently.

We got a room last year with two queens and two bunk beds, so our family of six fit in one room. It was a little cramped, but we didn't spend a lot of time there and it saved us a bunch of money, so that is an option if you want to save.
