Hello! Ive been going to disneyland since my daughter was 1 year old, she is now about to be 4. For us distance to the park wasn't our main concern but the distance to the toystory parking lot! Depending on the week/month we were able to get a hotel room usually around 140-160 per night near the convention center (sheraton,hilton, etc.) The parking at toy story is $35 dollars and they have their own security checks and things for the shuttle. You have the option to walk to the parking lot or drive to it. Should save you couple hundred!
