Were talking about going to Disney Land here shortly and I was just thinking is it better to stay on site or off site at one of there other recommened hotels? I want my kids to have the whole experience but it would be at the cost of having to cut things out by spending that extra money to stay there. But then if we stayed on site we wouldn't have to drive anywhere. We'd have everything right there for us. Any feed back would be great its been years since I've been there so I have no clue about it anymore. Also we want to do lego land, is it worth the price??
Like the PP said unlike the World The land is better for staying off site. A lot of the hotels are very walk able.
Most of the off site hotels are as close or even closer than the DIsneyland hotel and Paradise Pier hotel. The advantages of staying on site is the morning madness and the california hotel is super nice. But super expensive. I have stayed on site and off site many times. A great park that is near by is Knotts Berry farm.
Lego land is about an hour to two hours away from disneyland by car, (traffic in CA is all over the place) My son was 5 the first time I took him, he liked the play areas the best, the rides to him were not that great. I would say age 3-5 are the best for lego land. The price was as expensive as disneyland and the park is SMALL. I did everything in 1/2 day and that included the aquariaum and water park...and the cost was as much as disneyland. As I said I would recommend Knotts to someone over lego land.

Thanks so much for the heads up! I mean I want my kids to have the whole experience but not at the price of having to give up some things!
