This is a really hard one for me to debate about - well first off if I were you I wouldnt stay at Paradie Pier - if this is going to be like your true real first time that you will really really remember the trip/hotel be sure to stay at either The Disneyland Hotel or Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. But back to my hard debate, I love all of the hotels, but if I were to suggest one to you I would have to say that you should stay at the Disneyland Hotel (be sure to ask for a view of DTD and the parks). The reason I choose the DL hotel is really because A- WDW somewhat has hotels like the Grand Californian - tall lobby, breathtaking architecture/views - decoration, great rooms, etc. But one thing WDW doesnt have is the Disneyland Hotel. Stay where the magic began, you really get a sense of Walt himself in the hotel, the details, and just the friendlyness, its really great, it has many many things to do on the hotel grounds and its right at the end of DTD, so your right there (GCH is that way too). But I would just say stay at the DL Hotel, but thats just me. I hope you enjoy your trip! BUT one thing to do while at DLR is be sure to walk into the GCH and just see what it looks like, its so awesome!
