My hubby and I are going to be Buzz and Jessie. I bought an awesome Jessie sparkle skirt, we too will keep it fairly simple for comfort purposes. We fifty something year olds seem to over heat easy lately and want to stay cool and comfy .
We stayed at anabella last year - very close walk I thought and very decent hotel.
Yeah, I'm thinking about this place - what's the walk like to the start? Also, how's the pool? Any shade?
I guess it's relative to where along Harbor you're talking... going through GET Travel yesterday we booked a couple of Double Bed rooms at the Best Western Stovall where Katella meets Disneyland Dr for $151/night. Having stayed there in November for Avengers weekend, we walk up Disneyland Dr, cut through the Grand Californian to Downtown Disney and the parks. It's a pleasant walk of around 3/4 mile, 10-15 minutes depending on traffic and such.
I'm making it more complicated than I should. But early entry for the non-running days sounds appealing given busy (and hot) summer days.
On the other hand... $ saved is more $ for Dole Whips in the park!Yeah, I usually stay at Tropicana. I know Katella hotels aren't closer, but thought if I did PPH - then moving to Katella after the 5K would be easier? I dunno.
Haha! I feel the same way - I didn't know breakfast was included - that's great. I appreciate the tips.On the other hand... $ saved is more $ for Dole Whips in the park!
Coming from Kentucky with no kids, and especially coming on fairly last minute plans, we hunt for value with our hotels since we plan only to go to bed and take showers in the morning there. The Best Western worked fantastic for us in the Fall for pricing, cleanliness, and service. The complimentary breakfast was above average in our opinion, and they have a decent fitness center available for non-running workouts while we're there.
But that's the end of my testimonial for them... I don't want too many people agreeing with me and keeping us from getting rooms on future trips!
There are two pools a quiet pool and another which has the bar at it . Both had shaded areas. I had extended my stay by one day and rate was much cheaper because they told me booking directly thru them was cheapest and also in future don't even do it in their web page instead call and say you were told to ask for friends and family rate. They also have many different type of rooms, check the web page to see them. Walk was just crossing the street behind DCA and up the side walk opposite paradise pier. Was easy walk on race day since race was on that side but the Disney race shuttle is also an option and stops there, we opted to walk since it was a short walk and perfect warm up.
That's awesome- thanks. I'm going to try to book either there or Stovall's tonight.
