Rookie DLR'er

What's the best value for a family of five to visit DLR during the summer months??

Kids range from 16 to 10, with two adults.....we normally stay at POR at DW.

We're looking for a value to moderate resort type of place...

....thanks and hopefully we can visit DLR soon...

DLR doesn't have the same sort of plans that WDW has ... The Grand Californian is the most expensive hotel, comparable to a the Grand Floridian Resort at WDW. The Disneyland Hotel is the original Disney Resort, it's fully Disney themed, huge rooms and a great pool. It's less expensive than the GCH, but not by much. The Paradise Pier Hotel would be the equivalent of a Moderate resort, the rooms are a nice size and also Disney themed. There are many threads about the pros and cons of all three hotels, and also the pros and cons of staying off property at a Good Neighbor hotel, you can definitely get some good info by checking out the threads going on presently, or by using the search function.

Summers are expensive, very busy and most weekends sell out, so planning ahead will be key. If you are interested in some assistance with finding the best deals, can I suggest you contact Magical Journeys, the official INTERCOT Travel Agency? They can offer great advise about packages, etc.
