DW, DD7 and myself are flying into LAX at 11AM on 8/9. We've got a flight to Fiji that leaves LAX at 11:55PM on 8/10. We're hoping to squeeze in a visit to Disneyland.
We'd want to be in the park(s) on 8/10 from open until about 6pm, then shower and change somewhere before our 11 hour flight to Fiji.

Are there any hotels near Disneyland that meet the following:
1.) They will hold your bags at bell services when you checkout.
2.) Allow you to park your car (for a fee) beyond your checkout time.
3.) Offer a place to shower/change after checkout. I know some hotels near LAX offer use of their gyms/showers for a fee so we wouldn't expect no charge, just something that's not a full nights charge.

We know the 3 Disney hotels consider you a guest until midnight of the day you checkout, but the cost is nearly triple a Good Neighbor hotel. Neither DW or myself have any kind of lounge access at LAX so that option doesn't seem viable.
 
Most, if not all, hotels will hold your bags and allow you to keep your car in the lot. If worse comes to worse, you can park your car in a Disney lot for $30. I'm not sure about the shower.
 
Pompetti, I suggest you call the Candy Cane Inn. They've got super customer service and I'd lay a small bet that they'd be able to accommodate you. The only part I'm not sure about is the shower, since they don't have a shower room for their outdoor pool. Anyone here know of hotels on Harbor that have an indoor pool with a shower room?
 
I would check with Candy Cane Inn as well. I know they keep your bags and offer free parking. It is having a shower that could be a problem. Perhaps booking for 2 nights is a solution unless they come up with an alternative. Give them a call.
 

I agree with a previous poster about booking 2 nights. That way you can keep your luggage and car where they are while you enjoy the parks, and you can have a shower and even a little rest before you head to LAX. If you don't want to book 2 nights, I'd just call and speak to each hotel and see what they could do for you.

Park Vue Inn has rooms for $200 a night, or a suite for $249 a night for your dates. They're right across the street, so a 1-3 minute walk to the Disneyland entrance.

Best Western Anaheim Plus Inn is $300 a night for your dates. They serve a hot breakfast. 2 minute walk to the entrance.

Paradise Pier is $530. If you stayed there for 1 night you'd be in the bubble and could leave your car and luggage all day. I'm not sure about the shower, unless you could pop over to DLH and use the one near their pool since Paradise Pier's pool is closed right now.
 
One of the more upscale hotels likely has a shower area: Westin, Marriott, Hilton, JW Marriott. Another option to consider is buying day passes to an airport lounge that has shower facilities.

Not all...Fairfield Inn in you have to move your car at checkout.

Bag holds are pretty common but I do know there are a few hotels around the parks that do NOT have bag storage.

Holiday Inn on S Walnut checks boxes 1 & 2 I believe...and they have an outdoor pool area but not sure what the shower situation is.

That Holiday Inn is also pretty flexible and may even offer a half day rate on a room if they have availability day of departure...that is a unpublished option that some properties will grant if they have availability but usually won't confirm until day of.

Here is a site that you can search property that offer a "day use" rate...

We've stayed at the three Hyatts. They allow you to leave your car and will hold your bags.
 
Thanks for all the tips.

We ended up booking the Fairfield Inn for 2 nights, and we'll checkout at 7pm at the start of the second night. 2 nights there was cheaper than a single night at Paradise Pier.

Dayuse didn't have anything in the area that went beyond 4pm. Plus we'd have to move hotels, and pay to park at potentially both Disneyland and the dayuse hotel.
 
I don't know if Park Vue Inn holds your bags, I believe they do, but you can park until 10 p.m. on check out day
