We recently stayed at La Casa de Mickey, one of 14 houses owned by Anaheim Castle House. Our family and another rented the house for 3 days, and it was a blast!

The house had four bedrooms (8 beds total, from full to king) and three bathrooms, and we fit in there easily. We could have comfortably had another family stay in the house with us. Our girls stayed in the princess room, and our boys in the superhero room. The other two bedrooms each had a king bed and an attached bathroom, so each couple took one of those rooms. Our bathroom was large and very nice. All of the bathrooms had a door between the main bathroom and where the toilet was, so our kids could brush their teeth at night even if someone was using the toilet.

Not only was it nice, but it was cost-effective too!

Because we reserved it on short notice for an off-peak time, the house was only $295/night. Just getting a hotel for our family is usually at least $150-$200 per night, since we need either two rooms or a suite. So with two families splitting the cost, this was comparable to getting a no-frills hotel. And although there was no maid service, this place was much, much nicer than any hotel we've ever stayed at near Disneyland. It was also just a 3-minute drive from the driveway to the Mickey & Friends parking structure, and when we came back to the house, we didn't have to worry about finding (and fitting into) a parking space.

In summary...
To sum things up, we arrived with high expectations, and they were exceeded. It would be hard for us to ever stay at a hotel again when we return to Disneyland in the future. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and even wanted to leave Disneyland early to go back to the house.

We haven't seen inside the other 13 houses, but they all appear to have similar fun themes. They also all appear to be nice homes that would be a pleasure to stay at, and definitely much nicer than staying at your average Disneyland-area hotel!
