Disneyland questions? Need the best place to buy tickets and a good hotel for 3 nights?

We are planning on Disneyland at the end of May. We will be driving. Are there any hotels that offer a package with ticktes to the park? Also,suggestions for a kid-friendly hotel? We can't stay in the Disneyland Hotel (too expensive). Looking to pay not more than $150/night. Oh,and we are bringing our 5 and 1 year old. Are 1 yr olds free admission?

I would recommend you stay on harbor by disneyland. Try the paradise pier hotel like someone else mentioned and also try AAA they are good at giving dicounts and packages. the one year old is free. try Vons i think they sell discount tickets, if not email me and i can try to help u find the cheapest way to go, i can also give u times of operation and numbers to nearby places....

Your best bet is to purchase your Disneyland tickets direct from Disney -- you'll get a discount by purchasing a multi-day hopper pass:

Children under 3 are free.

There are some great hotels directly across the street from Disneyland -- literally within walking distance (5 to 10 minutes from room to Main Street):
