Anaheim Disneyland Beach Hotels, Southern California Theme Park Beaches Map

Anaheim,Calif. --Disneyland isn't known solely for its theme park vacations in the city's hotel offerings. It is also enjoyed by families taking a Disneyland beach vacation or other type of vacation mention on this page. Alternate combo vacations can include Disneyland and the Big Bear Mountain resort for summer hiking and lake fun, or winter skiing. From these pine-scented mountains that are under 2 hours by car from the theme park, you can also head for the desert with the unique cacti and trees such as the Joshua tree. In the desert you can actually take a tram ride to the top of a mountain overlooking Palm Springs.

Another type of Disneyland experience is the Disneyland wine country vacation, complete with a hot air balloon ride over the Temecula Valley just over an hour's drive from Disneyland. You can also play some adult games with casino gambling at Temecula's Pechanga Resort & Spa.

If these ideas don't suit you, you'll just have to stick around the theme park and enjoy it day and night. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta' do it!
