Conference koolit::disney

    We're going July 4th, and have made reservations at the Disneyland
    Hotel.  The price is $130/night.  
    
    I have the Magic Kingdom Club Membership Guide, and they have a
    long list of hotels in the Anaheim area.  They offer 2, 3, 4, and
    5 night packages.  There are hotels right near Disneyland as well
    as hotels 5 miles away.  
    
    If you can't get your hands on the MKC guide, let me know and I'll
    type in the names of the hotels listed.
    

    
    wow! i had no idea all this existed. i just got access to vax notes
    and when i saw "dizzy" had its own club, well, i've been reading
    for the last four days!. anyway, i had to jump on this one because
    i have a regular place i stay. don't know if its too late for your
    trip dale, since its 6/2 and you may be gone, but my favorite place
    to stay is at the candy cane inn on s. harbor blvd. its at the end
    of the block from the dizzyland parking lot, so we leave our car
    at the hotel and walk. toll free national reservations are
    800-382-7697. we have brochures in the dec facility with a 10% discount
    coupon included. e-mail me, gayle wright @sdo and i'll inter/o snail
    you one. i'm going with my nephews the end of this month (29th &
    30th), but i still have reservations sked that i haven't cancelled
    for the night of the 26th & 27th if you can't get in because they're
    booked and you can use the dates. 'nuff said.

Thanks for the info!  We've decided to stay with my brother-in-law
(he lives in Laguna Nigel) and drive up for each day.

    I will be going to Anaheim late August and would like suggestions
    of a place to stay for a family of three (me, my husband and 4
    year old son)....We would like to be close to Disneyland and
    must be on the Airport SHuttle route.
    
    Any suggestions????

re .6

I'd recommend the Candy Cane Inn if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive
place. $54/night, 2 queen size beds per room, nicely landscaped grounds. Walking
distance to the park (though they do have some sort of shuttle). AAA gives it a
3 diamond rating, and they do have a AAA discount. 

    I've never stayed at it, but there is a Residence Inn near the park,
    and we know how popular they are in Florida.

    We stayed at the Castle Inn, which is more or less across the road from
    Disneyland on Harbor Boulevard.  They do run a shuttle but it's only 
    about a ten minute walk there anyway.  It was a nice hotel.  I can get
    you their 'phone number if you like. 
    
    Hope this helps,

    haven't gotten a new MKC card in awhile so forgive my ignorance.
    
    does the Disneyland Inn in Anaheim have an MKC rate?  We are planning
    a trip to LA next May and want to spend a couple of days at Disneyland
    and stay at the hotel on the Monorail.
    
    thanks,

    Bert,
    
    It's the Disneyland Hotel and yes you can get special MKC rates there.
    
    The DL Hotel sits on 60 acres and contains a playground marina, tennis
    courts, several pools, shops, entertainment, and even has a beach.
    
    Goofy's Kitchen offers you character breakfasts and character dinners.
    
    The outdoor amphitheater has a show called "Fantasy Waters" which mixes
    water, colors, and music....similar to what you can see at Sea World.
    
    Prices are comparable to Poly rates at WDW. May is considered "Value
    Season" so you'll get even better rates.

    the MKC price guide includes 2,3,4 + day packages for all the
    hotels including the Disneyland Hotel which is the one on
    the Monorail. With the Hotel only you get a length of stay 
    passport allowing unlimited admissions to Disneyland while
    you are there. Of course out of all the Hotels/MOtels
    the Disneyland Hotel is more expensive than any of the others.
    
    I remember being at Decus about 8 years ago, I walked pass
    some of the small older strip motels right next to Disney.
    A lot of these places looked to be very well kept up, of
    course very simple with maybe a small pool, prices were sometimes
    $20 a night, I know it was a while ago but the rooms for disney
    in the big fancy hotels  were $100+ a night. It was amazing
    how cheap some of these small older places were.

    I agree with Harold.  
    DL hotel is overpriced and same age as most motels in area.
    right next door and a shorter walk to the monorail is the Emerald hotel
    [may be called something else now]  very clean,affordable. you can also
    take monrail and do anything else that you'd do if Mickey were sleeping
    with you with his hand in your pocket ;-)
    Great place to take the kids to eat is the godfather's pizza next door.
    at the 4 cornors right after exit from Emerald, is Coco's.  good food,
    cheap, family atmosphere.
    get your digital discount at emerald.
    
    very close by is a HJ's, Day's Inn.
    I won't even mention Marriot and Hilton.  ^$s.
    
    the monorail is more interest imo, than WDW, you can ride it even if
    you stay outside.

    If you like speggii [sp] and guns, there's a place nearby with both.

    thanks for the info.....if the monorail is that easily accessed I'll
    check the other hotels for better rates, as compared to the MKC rate
    at DLH.
    
    BTW, I also grabbed the Disneyland FAQ from the internet news group and
    it has some other hotels rated for price, comfort, etc that are in
    the same area.
    
    The character buffets sound interesting......
    
    --Bert

I'm considering Peacock Suites, Park Place Inn and Saga Inn.  We would like a place
with a nice pool for a 4 year old.

Thanks...Iris
