We ALWAYS stay at the Park Vue Inn. It's literally right across the street. They had a huge remodel years ago and it's a legit nice place to stay. We've stayed at The Grand Californian and I still prefer Park Vue.
We love to stay at the Camelot, valet parking is only $20. Last time we stayed there, as we were walking to Disneyland we met the one and only Chris and family. He was very friendly and awesome! Thanks Chris!!
The Camelot is literally right next door to the Tropicana (you can see the Camelot behind the Tropicana sign). The Camelot also has the motorized scooter/wheel chair rentals, a gym, and a roof top pool. The Tropicana is typically a lot more expensive than the Camelot for only a 30 second difference in walking time. The Best Western Plus is only 30 seconds closer than the Tropicana and is even more expensive. So save $$$ and walk an extra minute by staying at the Camelot.
These videos are very helpful as I'm planning to bring my family to our first Oogie Boogie Bash 2024. @iamtheomnimonkey I really appreciate you keeping the budget difference with just a one mine walk away for the three hotels . I'll be booking the Camelot thank you for the tips
I’m on a Facebook Disney group and one of the most asked questions is about hotels: feedback, amenities, and proximity to the park. This video is a huge huge help and I will post it on the page. Thank you and love your videos!
Thanks, Chris. Our family is all about the closest stay since we spend so much time in the parks. We've stayed at the Camelot, Tropicana and Fairfield out of those you reviewed, and we love them all. The only reason we never reserved the Camelot suite you showed is because they don't have two bathrooms; that many people in two rooms with only one bathroom makes no sense. 😜
There are newer, nicer, cleaner, less expensive, hotels with better food and free parking on Harbor Blvd past the convention center. An Uber takes 5 minutes and costs $6-$8. Everyone is so fixated on being close that they overpay for a substandard hotel.
As someone who is going to Disneyland in 9 days, i see this as an absolute win. Edit: we are going to stay at the best western plus hotel, that hotel is an 10/10
Thank you! This is my first time planning a Disney trip myself so these videos have been so helpful. And have really given me a new appreciation for my father and all he did each year
Stayed at the Anaheim Inn 2 years ago. Great stay. Breakfast was limited because of Covid protocols but it was still good. We could see the fireworks from our top floor room. Close enough to take a mid day break ap, change shoes (highly recommended), then head back to the park. If you drive, parking costs more and it's limited. We have our reservations made here again for our next Disneyland trip.
Chris thanks for doing this; I think some of these are actually closer than the hotels on-property. We've stayed in a few of these and it's really nice to be so close.
We are Disney World pros, but we are going to Disneyland for the 1st time in April. I have been freaking out about where to stay. I have a young adult daughter with mobility issues, so finding a hotel close to Disneyland was really important to me. Your video was extremely helpful!!! You are appreciated!
As a silly little request, please include showing grab bars more. Is parking included or additional? Thank you, Chris! The last Disneyland trip I did, we stayed at a hotel near Disneyland BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME 😭 so these videos REALLY help! With aging parents, the grab bars are extremely helpful to see in hotels.
Thank you Chris! We are not even going to Disneyland and we watch your videos. Why? Because they are happy, interesting and make us feel like we are taking a mental vacation. We love you!
Thank you so much for this episode!! I love getting a current view inside all of these hotels with the absolute best proximity to DL. I’ve stayed at a few of these but I like to see the current improvements/ refurbishments and it’s also a refresh for my brain since over time the hotels kind of become blurry as far as what they offer- distant from DL, amenities, etc. Love it!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for everything you provide Chris! Went with my family in May and decided to go again by myself last week. Your videos really helped me plan my trip and feel a lot more comfortable with going on my own. Might be going with my girlfriend after Thanksgiving so I’ll definitely be watching your videos for more info and tips!
Thank you! I’m a Disney World girlie planning my first trip to Disneyland and I was really overwhelmed by the idea of not staying on property. This has been so helpful!
I’m coming back to this comment to say that this video helped us so much! We ended up booking at the Tropicana resort and I’m so excited to be walking distance to the park! Thank you 💜
I miss the Carousel Hotel that was squeezed between the Camelot and Tropicana. It had such a great view of Space Mt in their third floor breakfast room!
Thank you! I live in Orange, and I've had park passes in the past when my girls were little; but cannot afford it right now. It makes me happy to see the fun places we used to go. You make positive difference!! 👍
Thank you! Our family stayed at the Best Western Anaheim Inn in 2022. Breakfast was fast, just as you said and we had no trouble making rope drop. The room was nice, and so close! For those used to WDW you will be shocked at how convenient these hotels are. And they are reasonably priced
One of my favorite Hotels is Candycane Inn. Could you please do a video on this property since their new renovations. We love the breakfast, pool area and free shuttle.
Thank you! Your references to the throne make us laugh. On that note, we also appreciated your British castles tour where you showed us the origin of that term. Love your videos. Binge watching as life has been pretty crazy and we finally have some time to watch them.
Thank you! Hoping to go back to Disneyland in the next year or so, and this really helped. Love the Mickey shaped pineapples! I still miss the days when, as a kid in the 1970s, we'd stay at the Disneyland Hotel and ride the monorail into the park from the hotel. Those were the days! ❤
Thank You!!!! My wife and I bumped into you at The DisneyLand Parks in Spring of 2022. We really appreciated your tips and insights that helped us plan our trip and made it more enjoyable!
We stayed at camelot inn and suites once. It was awesome being so close to disneyland! And we could watch the disneyland fireworks from the gazebo, which is right next to the rooftop pool and hot tub.
We do the exact same place, 9th floor, face the park, for 7 years. I love this video! It's about time I can see all the differences and benefits like this.
Thank you again! I know they are all very close together but it's still a lot of walking and filming for one day. I really appreciate you taking the time do show us all these rooms.
Thank you! This is just what I needed for my first trip out there this October! Work is sending me for a week, and I need to decide where to stay that weekend to maximize my short time at DL.
I LOVE when you use your video editor to edit your videos! It makes me laugh so hard every time. I love all of your videos, but the edited ones are just extra amazing. Thank you for making these for us!
Hey Chris! THANK YOU for this video! You're always such a great help and I love your family. Hope to run into you on a Disneyland trip (we'll be there this Christmas!)
Thank you for these videos it’s always nerve-racking to book hotels based on pictures so when you go and tell us how close they are and we can see them. It helps a lot.
We love your jokes! Funny story… 2007 our little family, hubby, me, Hon (11), Ammon (9), Megan (7) took our first family trip to Disneyland. I packed our microwave and pancake griddle to eat on the cheep. Haha When we got to the room I was setting things up and unpacking when the 11yr old said he needed to use the bathroom. I said okay. I thought I heard the main door open but I didn’t think anything of it. The next thing I hear is that 11yr old come in that front door and says, “ The lady at that front desk said we have a bathroom IN our room!” That’s when I realized we need to get these kids out more often!!! 😂😂😂
Good information, thanks. A group of seniors love to travel ... enjoy amusement parks ... are grateful to the closest resort! This gives us the opportunity to take a break / nap. Keep sharing: California - Disneyland & Universal; Tokyo - Disneyland & Universal.
You have no idea how helpful this was. We are planning our first trip to DL (many trips to WDW but none at DL - so we needed to change that) and I was hoping someone had a video of all of these hotel options. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Chris. I have been subscribed for quite a while and enjoy your exuberance about Disney. Though I mostly focus on Disney World, it is interesting to see about Disneyland too.
Chris while pointing to the toilet: “ This is if you ever use that” 🤭 I love you Chris! You always make me laugh! Thank you so much! 💖
THANK YOU!
Thank you I needed to know this
My husband and I laughed at that too 😂
Also, I have to say- the coffee joke (mugged) was too notch dad humor 😂😂 loved it!!!

Whats park vue inn. I googled and. Nothing came up
We love to stay at the Camelot, valet parking is only $20. Last time we stayed there, as we were walking to Disneyland we met the one and only Chris and family. He was very friendly and awesome! Thanks Chris!!
The Camelot is literally right next door to the Tropicana (you can see the Camelot behind the Tropicana sign). The Camelot also has the motorized scooter/wheel chair rentals, a gym, and a roof top pool.

Thanks, Chris. Our family is all about the closest stay since we spend so much time in the parks. We've stayed at the Camelot, Tropicana and Fairfield out of those you reviewed, and we love them all. The only reason we never reserved the Camelot suite you showed is because they don't have two bathrooms; that many people in two rooms with only one bathroom makes no sense. 😜

@@mjwbulich sounds very pleasant and easy but when you have multiple children with strollers, getting on and off a car is not preferred. Time is $$$
As someone who is going to Disneyland in 9 days, i see this as an absolute win.
Edit: we are going to stay at the best western plus hotel, that hotel is an 10/10
Thank you. About to book our November trip and saving about $200 with your link. We always stay at the Anaheim hotel. Thank you again. ❤
Thank you! This is my first time planning a Disney trip myself so these videos have been so helpful. And have really given me a new appreciation for my father and all he did each year

Great video! We're staying at the Park Vue Inn this Fall. The closest hotel to the Disneyland entrance on Harbor.
Thank you. I found your videos almost two years ago from a video you did on Disney Genie. Please keep them coming
Thank you so much for this episode!! I love getting a current view inside all of these hotels with the absolute best proximity to DL.

This is actually amazing. Thank you so much. Coming over from Australia to visit the parks and didn’t know where to stay. Thank you so much
Thank you!

This is so helpful, thank you!! That coffee machine would make the rooms pay for themselves; basically free! (Girl math)
There’s something really special about these hotel tours. It just helps tremendously when planning a trip! Perfect timing for this !!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Your references to the throne make us laugh. On that note, we also appreciated your British castles tour where you showed us the origin of that term. Love your videos. Binge watching as life has been pretty crazy and we finally have some time to watch them.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you. I've always wondered about these hotels near Disneyland and you covered what we can expect and more! And keep those Dad Jokes coming.
I appreciate it so much when you do the hotel videos. Thank you so much for including this on your channel.
Thank you so much Chris! Love your videos and love your passion for Disney
Glad you like them!
you are absolutely adorable and i love you. your enthusiasm is contagious and i love that you love what you're doing. thank you :)

Thank you Sir.
We stay at the Fairfield every time, and the top floor park facing, you can hear the park. My favorite mornings. Great park vibes.
We do the exact same place, 9th floor, face the park, for 7 years. I love this video! It's about time I can see all the differences and benefits like this.
Thank you! My daughter & I stayed in a hotel by Disney the first time. It was fine. You don’t have to stay on property to have a great time!
Thank you for this! I really appreciate you legwork and enthusiasm. You help me get my Disney fix and get me planning the next trip!
Thank you!! I love seeing the hotels. It's a better perspective than pictures online!
Thank you again! I know they are all very close together but it's still a lot of walking and filming for one day. I really appreciate you taking the time do show us all these rooms.
Great vlog esp for first time visitors! The locations for these hotels couldn't be more perfect especially after a long day at Disney or DCA.
Thank you! Appreciate this updated tour of hotels nearest to Disneyland.
Thank you! This is just what I needed for my first trip out there this October! Work is sending me for a week, and I need to decide where to stay that weekend to maximize my short time at DL.
I LOVE when you use your video editor to edit your videos! It makes me laugh so hard every time. I love all of your videos, but the edited ones are just extra amazing. Thank you for making these for us!
Chris the pool in Best Western plus is a big t. Shirt 😂😂 oh and THANKYOU
We love getaway today! I never do anything Disney through anyone else! I book with them for EVERYTHING 🎉
Thanks. These types of videos are super helpful. I feel that some hotels will make the rooms and are look nicer or larger than they really are.
Thank you- it is so much better to see inside the rooms and other details than just looking at a map
Thank you for all you do and the positivity you spread. You make my day everyday! Keep the puns coming I love them.
Thank you Chris and Amanda for all that you do and share with us. I hope to see you in person someday 😎
Hey Chris! THANK YOU for this video! You're always such a great help and I love your family. Hope to run into you on a Disneyland trip (we'll be there this Christmas!)
I always wondered about these hotels. Thank you so much for covering them! Idk how you know sooooo many jokes but I love them! Keep'em coming 🎉😂
Thank you for touring the hotels closest to Disneyland!
Thanks, Chris! Our family loves your videos. The closest hotels to Disneyland was very entertaining and helpful!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much both for the awesome info and the puns! I've been sharing your jokes with the kids in my childcare class and they love them.
Thank you. It's one thing to see things on a map and a completely different things to see it on a video. It really does help.
Chris.... We do appreciate you and your help/advice/tips/tricks/tie/advice/jokes very much.
Thank you!! Yes this is great! Content we don’t get from other Disneyland vloggers!!
I personally love the informative videos! I’m literally watching now and will choose our hotel with the info from this video. I appreciate you
These hotel reviews awesome. Lots better than a website. Appreciate the awesome job done on them.
Thank you for these videos it’s always nerve-racking to book hotels based on pictures so when you go and tell us how close they are and we can see them. It helps a lot.
Thank you! theses type of videos are my 2nd favorite after secret reveal videos
Omg just saw you got to 200,000! Congratulations, and all best wishes for the future!!! Provosts are the sweetest, all the ❤️
Thank you! Planning a trip to Disneyland for Christmas and will be using all of your incredible knowledge, and probably a few Dad jokes too. :)
We love your jokes!

Thank you Chris for doing these videos. My family and I always watch them and learn so much. From hotels, Disney, etc.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have needed a video like this! And, thanks to the hotels for letting you film. Perfect!!!!
Thank you Chris! We have a trip planned in march and we needed this!
Glad it was helpful!
We are a Candy Cane Inn family, still our favorite!
Good information, thanks. A group of seniors love to travel ... enjoy amusement parks ... are grateful to the closest resort! This gives us the opportunity to take a break / nap. Keep sharing: California - Disneyland & Universal; Tokyo - Disneyland & Universal.
You have no idea how helpful this was. We are planning our first trip to DL (many trips to WDW but none at DL - so we needed to change that) and I was hoping someone had a video of all of these hotel options. Thank you so much!!
Love these videos. Stayed at most of these. This is helpful. I show my family when they start planning a trip
Thank you!!!! The exact video and information we need as we plan a Disneyland vacation.
Thank you! I love the room hotel/motel tours!! I hope you keep them coming
The hotel room video is VERY helpful. Thank you! Love from Minnesota.
THANK YOU. You’re always so much fun and full of great information.
Thank You, Our family is staying at one of these hotels early next year and it's nice to see a most recent view of the room.
Thank you Chris. I haven't been to Disneyland for years .
Your videos are informative and jokes are funny!
Glad you like them!
Thank you, Chris. I have been subscribed for quite a while and enjoy your exuberance about Disney. Though I mostly focus on Disney World, it is interesting to see about Disneyland too.
Honestly, I think your informational videos are the best
Thank you! You are always great! We appreciate it all!
Try: What's a snowman's favorite cereal? Frosted flakes
you're the best! my husband and I always benefit from your videos.
Thank you Chris. Hotel tours are helpful. Our fav place to stay is Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn and Suites. Great location and the staff is so nice!
Thank you! I am going to Disney soon and your video is exactly what I needed!
My Mother-in-law stayed at the Tropicana and she loved it plus they also have showers 🚿 instead of tubs for people that are Handycaped💜💜💜
Thank you so much for these types of videos. I love being able to see the resort and get an idea where it is compared to the parks.
Omg this was so incredibly helpful!!! You answered all the questions I had!! Thank you!!!
Congrats on 200k subscribers! Celebrating your success, Chris! Why? Because you make the world a better place
Excellent info ... love the jokes too. Need the closest hotel as we a group of seniors and need our naps! Thanks.
Thank you! These kinds of videos are helpful and very much appreciated!
Thank you! The hotel videos are super helpful and I’ve been waiting for this one!
Thank you this is great. Just what. I needed literally. Been checking these hotels out from distance.
Thank you. I'm staying at Best western plus park place inn your videos helped me choose the perfect hotel
Thank you! We love your videos. Brings us up to date and makes us feel closer to the park between visits! ❤❤
Thank you! We visit frequently and it was informative to see more options!
13:02 u being done with your own puns cracked me up
"..whatever.." LOL
