Re: Disneyland Resorts??

Well, ok. I am pretty fussy and I am going to be completely honest when I say that Paradise Pier to me was kinda dissapointing. I have never STAYED there but when we visited DL in 2003 we made sure to check out all the resorts to see which we'd WANT to stay in the next time.

Paradise Pier, to me, is just too far off from everything and it seemed like a "souped up" off-site hotel. I remember someone on DC mentioning that it was an existing Travelodge hotel that disney bought and "re-did". Well, I personally don't think enough was "re-done." I know that sounds harsh, but I am just giving my honest opinion.

Grand Californian was amazing, as you can imagine but I decided to pick the DL Hotel for our first "on site" stay in June b.c it jsut seemed appropriate. It's close to everything. You can get a DTD view, the hotel itself is really nice AND it's the original!! Nothing beats the original, IMO.

I don't know, I think the DL Hotel would be my vote for the first visit! Please let us know what you decided.
