Anaheim, hometown of Disneyland, is banning all short term rentals, because neighbors are tired of Disney guests changing their neighborhood.

On Wednesday, the Anaheim city council voted to phase out and eventually ban short-term rentals in Disney's home town. Residents operating short-term rentals will have 18 months to shut down their businesses or apply for a license to operate longer if they can prove shutting down will cause a significant hardship, according to a city council spokesman.
Like opponents in many other cities, those in Anaheim argue that short-term rentals turn residential neighborhoods into tourist areas.
“It is now time to restore our neighborhoods… [they] are not an extension of the resort area,” one resident said, according to NBC’s Southern California news outlet. “It is time to take care of the residents.”
Although Anaheim may want to ban short term rentals, other surrounding cities like Garden Grove and Orange have no such aversion. Disneyland visitors who don’t mind traveling a little farther could always book short term rentals there.
