I found this map on the internet (not sure of the source) and have been using it as a reference when I make hotel reservations. You can also check out google earth street view as an additional resource. WARNING: I do believe that more of the hotels should be designated as within walking distance. For example, Anabella Hotel near Katella Avenue and Disneyland Drive is only about a 5 minute walk from the parks and across the street from the corrals used for the Run Disney races.
If you are familiar with Disney World, you will be surprised that the hotels at Disneyland are close to the parks. Disneyland is surrounded by city streets. Most hotels will have shuttles going to/from the parks and there are sidewalks so it is easy to get around.
Distance between California Adventure and Disneyland? Maybe a 5 minute walk turnstile to turnstile if you stop to take pictures. They are right across a large plaza from each other so you can easily go from one park to the other. Downtown Disney is also within walking distance of each park.
There are lots of hotels with lots of different price points. The most inexpensive way I have found to book hotels is through priceline or travelocity. My hubby and I do not generally plan our trips in advance but rather look at each other on Friday afternoon and decide it's a great day to see fireworks above our favorite castle. We have a Disney-Go Bag in our trunk so we can leave on a whim. So, we end up booking a hotel as we drive down to Disneyland.
The rare times we plan our trips, such as family reunion trips or Run Disney events, we still book through Priceline. Whatever your budget, you can find a hotel near Disneyland. If you want to spend an outrageous per night price, you can stay at the fabulous Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier or Grand Californian Hotel which are all owed by Disney. On a budget, well, there is Super 8 Motel. There are lots of choices and price points to fit everyone's budget and needs.
Here's to your next stay!
