warshawlawI am just north in LA and will probably stay at the Disneyland Hotel with my family. You have to have a car with very limited exceptions. I did the last Anaheim national without one, sort of, taking a room in a motel on the road nearby and using a local bus to get within walking distance of the convention center, which was OK. If you come into LAX there are any number of shuttle services that you can engage to take you to Anaheim and back. If your family plans to be at Disneyland the whole time and you plan to be at the show, there really isn't a need to spend the $$ on a car. There is plenty of eating and such at the Disney California theme park area, at least for a few days, and there are a number of restaurants in walking distance from the convention center (ok, long walk).
I'd suggest you book early for hotels near the center and/or the Disneyland-related hotels because it will be high season and they will sell out.
