Whenever you’re planning a trip to Disneyland®, you want to make sure you stay close by so you can be at the gate when it opens, and the last one’s to leave when it closes.

This is why we picked the Hyatt Regency Orange County as our hotel of choice when visiting Disneyland® in Anaheim.

Although I only had one night at the Hyatt Regency OC, AND I was not with Craig and the kids, I would happily stay there again and bring the family as they would have loved it!

While I think Disneyland® being the “happiest place on Earth” is up for debate, I can definitely say that the Hyatt Regency OC is a happy experience, and a good choice for families looking to be near the theme park in Anaheim.
