Why choose a Disneyland Good Neighbor hotel?
Hotels that have been designated as Disneyland Good Neighbor hotels must meet Disney’s strict standards and guidelines, as well as undergo routine inspections by Disney to ensure that quality is being met. All Disneyland Good Neighbor hotels offer close proximity to the theme parks and span multiple categories and price points, making it easier to find a hotel that will fit your family and your budget.
