We went to Disneyland last year about the same time. It is a beautiful place and your kids will love it!
We stayed at the Anaheim Howard Johnson, highly recommend it. Large rooms so the whole family can stay together. Nice little water park for the down days if there are any. And walking distance to the gates. You can stay at the Disney hotels, they are closer but much more expensive. They did look very nice.

But wear good walking shoes! Depending on the ago of your children's definitely consider renting a stroller for them. My son was 5 and is quite active. But by 10am he wanted to go back to the hote because he was tired. The next day we rented a stroller (and it looked a bit ridiculous because he is big enough not to use one) and it was fantastic. He was way happier.

We rented a car, it was good to be able to drive to the hotel, we parked it most of the week. But it gave us choices for dinner if we got tires of the resort surrounding food.
