After a long day at Disneyland, relax in style in a large cardboard box!
We recently stayed at La Casa de TNT, one of 14 boxes owned by CB's favorite poster. Our family and another rented the box for 3 days, and it was a blast!

The box had four bedrooms (8 beds total, from sleeping bags to cots) and three "bathrooms," and we fit in there one at a time. We could have comfortably had another family stay in the box with us. Our girls stayed in the princess room.

And our boys in the superhero room.

The other two bedrooms each had a twin bed and a hole cut out for a bathroom, so each couple took one of those rooms. Our bedroom was large and very nice.

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 $2.95/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 hole in the ground or tent. And although there was no maid service other than the lady in the first picture, this place was much, much nicer than any hotel we've ever stayed at near Disneyland. It was also just a 30 second walk 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 boxes, 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!
