Got some ?s taking kid for her 7 birthday :)

[bluegrizzlies1]

Booked airfare into lgb march 27-30.

Best deal on 3 day tickets?

Lgb to Disneyland shuttle or taxi cost both ways?

Cheap hotel across the street from Disneyland?

Anything else I need to know ?

I think the promotional 3-day bonus tickets will be you best bet. I haven't checked if Ares or Getawaytoday is selling them, but you may be able to get them a couple of dollars cheaper.

How many people are in your party?

A cheap hotel will be hard to come by during Spring Break. You may want to look at Desert Inn and Suites, Del Sol, Quality Inn (on Manchester) and Anaheim Plaza. They are generally the cheapest ones in walking distance. Pay attention to parking and resort fees when comparing prices.

From your siggy, it looks like you generally go twice or more a year. If you're going to do that again this year, have you considered getting an AP?

 

[bluegrizzlies1]

Stayed at Anaheim plaza in last summer.

It is 89 bucks a night end of march I was thinking should be 59 but maybe yhats now.

Have to check on hojo ent rate but I doubt they get any for that time.

Looks like rent a car is 258 Hotwire and Alamo too much money.

Taxi rate? Or shuttle rate?

Desert inn and del sol isn't worth 100 plus I've stayed at both.

Not sure we will make it 2 times I'm hoping I've done ap before I just need to live closer lol

Hojo is not showing ent rate for your dates. You may want to consider booking something soon, as your dates are during spring break period.

Pre-buy the promotional tickets. You really will be better off if you buy deluxe APs if 1) you go back within one year and 2) the time you choose to go back doesn't have block out days. Sounds like you know about APs, and I understand how it can be hard to know your plans that far in advance. Even if you think you're going to go the AP route, you may want to start with tickets and take advantage of magic morning then upgrade to APs after that.

Get a birthday button for the kiddo. Also, if you go to any sit-down meals, make sure to tell them it's your daughter's birthday. They may bring out a birthday treat for her.

Taxi Rate is $45 one way and Shuttle is roughly $105 roundtrip

 

[bluegrizzlies1]

Oh yeah there is 3 of us I forgot that part.

We go the first of march but my daughter says dad we always go on your birthday.

So decided we will go on hers march 27 I know it spring break but what do you do lol

Might look at the ap again thanks for the advice.

We aren't that much into the hotel we spend our days in the parks so we aren't to picky

You're going to pay inflated prices during Spring Break. You're not going to be able to use your early March stays for comparative price purposes. I don't think Hojo will be posting Entertainment rates for those days, either. It looks like you can get the Tropicana for $129/night - that's the cheapest I'm finding that is across the street and you haven't already rejected.

They don't have any March dates for EC right now BUT according to their website:
FOR DATES NOT LISTED ABOVE, YOUR CARD STILL GETS YOU A 15% DISCOUNT

Call inhouse reservations and ask...can't hurt

Pretty much decided have to pay spring break prices.

Which hotel across the street do you guys enjoy the most? And why?

Before you say hojo I've stayed there and like it but I'm looking of not walking that far.
