Just back from Disneyland

Thanks for your quick reply! I've Your information really helps with my decision. Although I love the idea of the free shuttle and continental breakfast at the CCI, I think having the extra space is more important. Did you find the walk to and from HoJo was ok? Especially if we want to return mid-afternoon for a nap? Thanks again!

We think that the walking distance from HoJo is almost the same as the CCI, with HoJo being just a little bit further. The biggest difference is, you have to use the crosswalk and cross Harbor Street if walking from HoJo, where as CCI is on the same side of the street as the DLR. One advantage to walking from HoJo is that you don't have to cross in front of the DLR parking entrance like you do when you walk from CCI. That entrance is somewhat of a dangerous intersection because cars coming into the park aren't watching the walkers before they turn in. Another advantage to staying at HoJo over CCI is that you're right there next to Mimi's Restaurant, Millie's Restaurant, and McDonalds. All three are great off site places to eat and family friendly. Mimi's has a take out menu that we use whenever we're down there. You can walk back for naps and stop by on your way back to the motel at Mimi's grab a to go order, and be set for the afternoon off from the parks. *A personal hint, call your order in just before you leave the park. They'll have it ready by time you walk there.

Thanks for the tips! We went ahead with the HoJo. With the Entertainment Card rate, we only pay $79/night for a Premium Disney View Room, so we can't beat that! And really, if we're spending the entire day walking, what's another 10 minutes at the end of the night. Maybe when we don't need a crib we'll try the CCI

Excellent price for a great room! Have fun!

Would you happen to know what time they start serving breakfast at the Candy Cane?

If you have it in your room you can request as early as 6:30. I would presume they satrt around that time in the lobby as well. There is a toll free number you could call to check. They are very accomodating there.

How do you have it in your room? That isn't the free breakfast is it?

Pink Budgie, do you REALLY have a pink budgie??!!

 

[Lou-Ann]

You are correct. That is not the free breakfast as we had paid for the room upgrade. I thought you were asking what time food was available in the morning. I am sorry I cannot answer when they put it out in the lobby. I would try calling them. I am sure they would be happy to tell you.

No, it was my light blue budgie that I colored in Photoshop.
She died about a year ago and our current budgie is green and named Buzz Lightyear.
