I've never been to Disneyland before, and I'm finding the idea of choosing a hotel intimidating. We usually do Disney World and stay in one of their resorts. For Disneyland it looks like I can be just about as close and save a lot of money by staying off site, but I have no idea what is good. Can you suggest any hotels that are a good balance of nice place and reasonable prices? Alternately - am I really missing out by not staying on site? (I have noticed that all the DLR hotels are about what you'd pay for the top level - deluxe - at WDW).
