Hotel Help

[disneydance]

Hello everyone! Currently me and a couple of my friends are in the process of planning a graduation trip to Disney! This trip be paid out of our own pockets and we are currently in the process of getting a estimate for the trip so we can plan better! We are trying to find a hotel that includes free parking and a complimentary breakfast and is close to the parks we would like to keep the price for the night to a $160 or less. We are ok with 2 queen beds if required but wouldn't also mind looking into suite! Can you reccomend any cost friendly hotels to us, we have been thinking about Comfort Inn & Suites but it a bit far though it is on the ART but that can take awhile to come. Any suggestions? Thanks Katie!

Try going to bookit.com and checking out Cortona Inn and Suites. I just used that site to book 3 nights in June staying at Hotel Menage for $59 per night, no free breakfast or parking tho.

You have a lot of options for $160. But limit them by saying free parking. Why not look for a place under $135? The highest parking charge is $15 at the convention hotels. Just figure it into the daily cost.

Free breakfast is a little tricky, because you can't say $5 times the number of people and reduce the per night budget, because then people won't eat, and a free breakfast is a good deal for starving students.

In your $160 does that include tax or is that $160 plus tax? 17%

My exact thoughts too. What about taking a peek at the Park Vue Inn (get a quote on their site). They have a lot of good recent comments on their free breakfast, plus they are right across the walk in entrance to the park esplanade. I like this map to see the hotel options/locations:

That would probably had been my suggestion too. Because when younger with a group of friends we would of taken great advantage of the morning breakfast and light fare at the social hour in the evenings.

America's Best Value Inn on Katella has one bedroom suites for less than $100 per night INCLUDING tax. Includes a free breakfast, parking, wifi and is only a 15 minute walk to the parks, it is basically on the corner of Katella and Harbor. We stayed last year and really enjoyed it, the walk was the only negative but the price more than made up for it..

the Candy Cane In has free parking and free breakfast--and is within walking distance of the parks. They also offer a free shuttle if you don't feel like walking running every half hour (exclusive to this hotel). Look at Trip advisor at the reviews, and you will see it is a very highly rated hotel near disneyland.

It also depends on when you want to go that determines price. My friends and I are also going to celebrate my graduation, in July. The average price I found after searching most of the hotels was between $160 and $180, with varying amenities. Since we're flying in from Florida, we're not worried about parking but breakfast was a perk. However, we ended up booking at the Fairfield Inn because one of my friends has points with Marriot. Only downside is no breakfast There are plenty of cheap breakfast options within walking distance, though.

We're actually holding out hope that Disney will offer a good discount for the on-site hotels the dates we're going. This is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us, so we'd like the whole experience and the early entry perks if we can manage it.
