Never be confused. Disneyland is actually very compact and easily travelled..
April isn't a bad month, actually.. Plenty of time to plan.

I usually rent a car. But there are numerous ways, including the super shuttle for $14 or so.

Annabelle is very nice. And worth the stay. AND within walking distance. I always use Priceline, and go for the best hotels: Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott.. Each of those have either their own shuttle or you can use the Anaheim Trolley as well.

I have never stayed on property. I suppose if you are addicted, it's a non issue. If you have the money, I would use it to stay there.
