The Magic of the Disney Parks: The Disneyland Hotel

People talk all the time about the magic of the Disney Parks. People on the outside of Disney fandom might not really know what that magic is all about, or whether it even exists or is just a fancy tagline to sell tickets, but for those of us who spend a lot of time in the Parks, we really believe in that magic.One of my favorite times of the year is the weekend that I actually get to spend a night at the Parks and one of the hotels that's actually on the Disneyland property. Since the entire family are annual passholders, we really have no need to stay in hotels in order to visit Disneyland. However, if we do decide to spend a weekend at the park, most of the time we just simply stay at a hotel off property. And I don't say it to be a slight against the pricing of the Disneyland Hotel properties, but for the most part they are just a little bit out of our normal price range, especially when we do pay for the annual passes each and every year. But one of the perks of having a wife who is a teacher, is that teachers and students go to conferences. And in this particular case, the conference takes place at the Disneyland Hotel so one night a year we get to stay there basically for free. Can you say score?
