Disneyland, and San Diego

[momof2kids]

Hi everyone, okay I have almost everything planned with help from this board. THANKS!!!!!! I have one more question and then I will be done. We are also including in our trip San Diego, where do we stay? Any suggestions? We will only be there for 2 nights and 2.5 days. We are a family of 4, and are traveling with another family of 4. We would like to be close to some attractions. Just a nice place to stay, Thank you for all your help in planning a memorable trip to Disneyland.

When we go to San Diego we always stay at the Bahia. It is within walking distance to the ocean and is right on Mission Bay and has a private beach with rooms that open onto the bay. You might check out get-away-today.org for some pretty good prices. They are about five minutes from Sea World, walking distance to Belmont Park and the Giant Dipper Wooden Roller Coaster, about 15-20 minutes to the Zoo and Balboa Park, etc. It is nicely located and nicely appointed.

We like to stay at Dana Inn. It's kind of motel-like, but it's very clean, comfortable, and right on the Bay as well. The rooms are large and it's in a good area. It's walking distance from Sea World, but we usually drive anyway. It's a short drive to Sea Port Village and the San Diego Zoo.

I would recommend that whatever you choose make sure you don't have any unexpected fees. Depending on where you stay parking costs can be kinda high.

I'll just throw in more support for the Mission Bay area. You can find a wide variety of lodgings there depending on what you want to pay, what amenities you desire, location on the beach, and so on. It's a great choice for families looking to visit Sea World, Legoland, or the Zoo.

Then again, if you want something great.....Hotel Del Coronado!!! BEAUTIFUL luxury resort which, I believe, was the hotel that the Grand Floridian was modeled after.

Just thought I would add my $.02...DH & I are staying at Hilton San Diego, when we go
in March. I don't know how much you are looking to spend, but it is also in the Mission
Bay area. If you are going after March, I will post back what I thought of the hotel.
