Couple of questions

[hammertime]

Ok I consider myself kind of an expert on Disneyland but I've only been there once since DCA so it all feels new again. Took a trip to WDW this past Dec-Jan but I'm itching to get back to DL.

1st ? - Are there hotels(off site) to stay at that you can actually walk to DL, DCA, and DTD? DH and I like to go swimming and rest for a couple of hours in the afternoon. We stayed(I think) at a Best Western on Ball Rd 2-3 years ago. It happened to be really close to the parking lot for Disney so we would walk past the guard station and get the trams from the parking garage(not sure if they still allow that). As I recall it was kind of a crummy hotel so I don't think I'd want to stay there again.

2nd ?- When is the opening for Tower of Terror(that was one of our favorite rides at WDW)? I'd really like to go to DL the 2nd weekend in May(it's my birthday).

3rd ?- How busy will the beginning of May be. How about Mother's Day weekend?

Thanks,

Pamela

Yes, there are many hotels that are within walking distance to the parks. Here is a link that shows the hotels in relation to the resort: http://www.geocities.com/ashpsyche/DisneylandLinkMap.html
FYI: The yellow arrow is where the entrance is.

Tower is opening on Wednesday, May 5th. So the second weekend in May is a good time to go if you want to ride it.

Here is another link to check out for which hotewls are closest.
My Picks are the Howard Johnson, The Candy Cane Inn, The Best Western Park Place Inn, The Park Inn (formerly Park Inn International) and the Anabella (a bit farther of a walk).
