last minute christmas accommodation - recommendations

[kwonyong]

Hubby just came home and said we could go to disneyland on the 24th dec until the 30th dec. A huge surprise as we were planning to leave for disney world on the 3oth. He has to go to LA for work so said we should all go early and the kids and I will go to disneyland while he works. We have stayed at HoJo's and loved it, but its booked out. Can't afford the disney resort hotels. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Is there anything else I should book (apologies I am totally unprepared for a disneyland christmas trip).

Check out the Candy Cane Inn.

thanks goldie 5, but the candy cane is booked out.

I have found accommodation ant the Fairfield inn and del sol inn and castle inn suites. Now to decide

 

[DangerMouse]

Fairfield would be my choice.

 

[nsiordia]

Fairfield would be my choice.

Fairfield would be mine as well.

Fairfield would be mine as well.

Yep. Another vote for Fairfield. Don't know anything about the del sol but had friends who stayed at the Castle Inn and wouldn't recommend it.

I've heard mostly good things about the Del Sol. The only problem that I've read is the walls being really thin so you can hear noises around you more easily. Other than that, everything is fine. My boyfriend and I are staying there for our trip in May.

I would recommend the Del Sol or Fairfield...Not the Castle Inn

Sometimes the Anaheim hilton and towers has rooms for $89.00 It is a beautiful hotel too.

We're staying at the Hilton Anaheim at a rate of $95/night. We've only stayed at HOJO when we've been there before so we're looking forward to trying another hotel!

Another vote for Fairfield, we are staying at the Camalot Inn for the first time. If you haven't already seen it, check out the christmas thread. There is a Holiday tour, they take you on Haunted Mansion Holiday, IASW Holiday and you get prefered seating for the parade with hot cocoa and a cookie.

One of my friends booked the Doubletree Orange for $58 a night through priceline earlier today for December 19th - 23rd. She stayed there 4 times this summer and said it's a fantastic hotel!

Try the Anaheim Plaza, if you don't mind staying farther away (drive and park distance) there's a nice Day's Inn on Ball and there's a decent enough Ramada down Harbor across the I5. We have stayed at all these hotels for about $60 a night.

Thanks for all the advice. Just before I booked I thought I would check HoJo's again and found availability for the first 4 nights. I will probably book del sol inn for the last 2 nights.

Oh you have no idea how giddy I am! lol

Doing shirts .. bought dresses for the baby of a princess, one for each day .. trying to think of what to make my 17 yr old for fun .. other than the matching shirt that she wanted ..

You know on the movie Elf where someone says, "Santa is coming" and he SCREAMS, " SANTAAA, I KNOW HIM" .. that's how excited I feel! lol

I love that part of Elf. And I would feel about the same way if I was able to go to DLR this year too, heck I'm hoping for NEXT year and I'll feel that way. LOL
