Three days at a minimum.. Two for Disneyland, one for California Adventure..

Anything less, and you're gonna miss stuff..

A lot depends on finances.. Staying on site is nice, and convenient, but not an absolute necessity with the close proximity of everything..

I have stayed in various hotels, as shown below, with no "bad" experiences..

Priceline makes it even more affordable..

But the Good Neighbor hotels are on the Disneyland website..

Summer is crowded. It will be a fact of life, unfortunately. Which is why more than three days is worth the effort, especially if you get a good hotel rate..

Yes, you would. I spent seven days in Disneyland last February '06. We weren't bored. But if you find yourself with spare time, there are attractions close by to catch your interest.

Hope this helps.
