Hi Linece,

Disneyland planning is much different than WDW, isn't it?

Sometimes you'll get a special deal with the packages, like a free Photopass print, but also sometimes you'll be better off with buying them separately if you can get a deal on tickets or the hotel room. It really depends on the time of year you're going and what's available. Do you have an idea of what time of year you'd want to go?

I do know that you can link tickets to your hotel room so you can do the extra magic hours - those just require showing your hotel key card.

Also - you may want to consider staying off-site at one of the Good Neighbor hotels. In some cases, they're actually closer to the parks than the Disney ones and much cheaper!
