I am so happy I found these boards! There is such a wealth of information here I have been checking it out for a few days now and really am impressed. And everyone appears to be so nice and ready to answer questions. I was on a different forum looking for trip information but got a little discouraged by all the complaining and sometimes even meanness.
My dh and I live near Seattle and try to get to the parks at least three times a year. Our last visit was in May for two weeks. We stretch it out as far as we can because we can never get enough Disney and like to make the best of our AP's.
Our next visit will be in October and will be our first trip during Halloween time. Right now we are planning on a 10 day visit, but might extend if we can't tear ourselves away as the end is getting close.
We've made reservations at the Anaheim Plaza. Not our first choice but it will do, I think. I can cancel no charge up to 48 hrs in advance. I called and asked a million questions and while I am not expecting a 5 star hotel, I think it will work for us. Our main concern is staying close enough to walk and that was the best price. There is no (free) breakfast which is fine. We can get food and have cereal and fruit, or have breakfast at Mimi's or in the parks if we want more. We only eat two meals a day, with a yummy disney snack in the afternoon or evening.
There is a $4 per day parking fee and $10 per day for WiFi. I'm okay with the parking charge, and will use the internet only every other day or so. For about 775/10 days I'm good with that.
So...I look forward to learning a lot here. Now back to reading and checking out all the great photos.
