Hotel:
Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim ( One of my kids and my favorite ones!) - it is HUGE - it has an indoor and outdoor waterpark and it has a surfing machine!
Great wolf lodge is located down the street from Disney so away from the traffic but close enough ....there are also tons of restaurants around and a super target (to stock your in room fridge) and tons of activities around to do as well. And kids eat free deals at some nearby restaurants.
I encourage you to save some $$ and not do all days at Disney because the waterpark is included in your stay at GWL so you have free entertainment and a break from the theme parks
Hotel is on the Anaheim shuttle route to Disney and Knotts berry and Disney downtown district (shopping and dining ect) and goes to many other places!

For those of you who have never stayed at a Great wolf lodge - the waterpark is INCLUDED and this particular one in California is exceptionally amazing - they have an indoor and outdoor one - and they have a SURF machine that is awesome! Out of all the GWL that we have been to this is our favorite for sure!

Regarding ways to California: It is an easy road trip but if you are wanting to fly - we can book your flights too. flying into SNA (orange county - is the closest and most convenient) or Lax or San Diego and the other option is the fly into Vegas and rent a car there - I have done this several times and oftentimes the air is less expensive doing it this way. We can book all of this for you
If you are choosing a route that you need a rental car - please reach out to me to help you with the rental car as I have corporate rates and coupons you can use.
*** Regarding ways to get to hotel or Disney from airport here are
some ideas for you:
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS from airport:
Amtrak:
Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner runs between San Luis Obisbo (in the central part of California's coastline) to San Diego (in the southern most end of Southern California) with multiple stops in between. If traveling from other areas via Amtrak, you will need to transfer to the Pacific Surfliner at any of the stops along the train route.
Once you arrive at Anaheim Station, you may transfer to the Anaheim Resort Transit Route 15 bus, which will take you directly to the Disneyland Resort, or you can transfer to the OCTA Bus Route 50 and exit at the Katella-Harbor Blvd. stop with a short walk along Harbor Blvd. (approximately 3 blocks) to the Disneyland Resort.
Amtrak Metrolink:
Metrolink is a rapid commuter rail system that serves Southern California. There are 7 lines that serve the area and include:
Ventura County Line
Antelope Valley Line
San Bernardino Line
Riverside Line
Orange County Line
Inland Empire-Orange County Line
91 Line
The Anaheim Amtrak/Metrolink Station can be reached directly via the Orange County Line, the 91 Line with a transfer to the Orange County Line in Fullerton and the Inland Empire-Orange County Line with a transfer in Orange. Travel via the remaining 4 lines requires a transfer to the Orange County Line at Union Station in Los Angeles.
Once you arrive at Anaheim Station, you may transfer to the Anaheim Resort Transit Route 15 bus, which will take you directly to the Disneyland Resort, or you can transfer to the OCTA Bus Route 50 and exit at the Katella-Harbor Blvd. stop with a short walk along Harbor Blvd. (approximately 3 blocks) to the Disneyland Resort.
Metrolink Greyhound:
The Greyhound bus station is located at 100 W. Winston Rd in the city of Anaheim, less than a half mile east of the Disneyland Resort and is accessible from thousands of service locations in North America.
Once you arrive at the bus station, transfer to the Anaheim Resort Transit Route 10, which will take you directly to the Disneyland Resort via S. Anaheim Blvd. and Ball Rd.
You may also choose to take a quick ride via taxicab due to the Disney Resort.
Greyhound Anaheim Resort Transit:
Los Angeles Metro and Orange County Transit Authority
The Los Angeles County Metro and the Orange County Transit Authority OCTA operate a network of interlinked bus routes and rail lines that service Los Angeles and Orange County.
Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA)
The Disneyland Resort is served by several bus routes within the OCTA system.
Route 50 runs east/west between Long Beach and The Village at Orange via Katella Ave.
Route 43 runs north/south between Costa Mesa and La Habra via Whittier Blvd. and Harbor Blvd.
Route 46 runs east/west between Los Alamitos and The Village at Orange via Ball Rd. and Taft Ave.
Route 83 is an express that runs north/south between Anaheim and Laguna Hills via the 5 Freeway and Main Street.
Route 430 is a station link bus line that runs east/west between Anaheim Amtrak/Metrolink Station and the Anaheim Resort Area via Katella Ave, Harbor Blvd. and Ball Rd.
