Was thinking about a quick trip down, seems lots of the hotels are booked solid. I did find the Carousel and BW Anaheim available (which do you guys like better??)
October 2-4 is what Disneyland refers to as "Unofficial Gay Days". Also I believe Utah has a short school break around that time.
DD and I often stay at the Best Western Anaheim Inn. Price is reasonable, beds are very comfy, short walk to the park. Parking is limited though.
We actually had reservations there for our upcoming trip, but for $15 more per night, we switched to Paradise Pier
