Weird hotel needs

[YaYas_Mom]

I want to take my dd to Disneyland this Christmas when her dad is visiting. We're talking about making it a week long trip for her bday and CHristmas. Here's the problem, her dad and I are not together, and her dad would be bringing his girlfriend. Can I get a package that will give us a suite with separate sleeping arrangments, or can I request adjoining hotel rooms or something so this doesn't become as weird as it sounds? LOL... any recommendations on good suite hotels? Must be at least 1 bedroom with sleeping arrangments in living room as well, but preferably two bedrooms.

<font color=navy>I've stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott before, in a 2-room suite. I really like it because you have a little living room in between, with a kitchen area. Also, each room has a bathroom.

If you're planning on staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel, then I recommend getting two separate rooms - it's more cost effective.

You can always request adjoining rooms at almost any hotel. Just be aware that requests are always "subject to availablity". That said if you do it far enough in advance you should be okay. As far as two bedroom type suites, you are probably just going to have to call some of the area hotels and see how big their suites are. Suites can mean many different things. I have personally stayed at the Disneyland Hotel several times and know they have the adjoining rooms set up. They also have suites but I don't know the specifics about those. You might also consider using a travel agent who really knows the hotels in the area and what all they offer. I have used Expedia before when booking more than one more room for family trips to Disneyland. Expedia generally has had some good deals when I have used them. Good for you and your ex husband for working together to do something really special for your daughter!

Several hotels down there have suite options....we usually have grandma, grandpa, two kids, DH and myself so we always require multiple bedroom suite layouts.

Residence Inns are the same everywhere...there is a great one on DisneyWay that has multiple bedroom options (2bedroom ones have 2 actual bedrooms connected to a living room/kitchenette).

Dolphin Cove is a condo type place w/2 bedroom rooms...similar build to Residence Inn, but a little older.

Radisson on the corner of Katella and Harbor has suites, but I think they are a 1bedroom/1 livingroom combo.

Hampton Suites has multiple options.

If you are a AAA member, go to your local office to get a Tourbook for SoCal. Most of the hotel ads (and there are TONS) have the floorplan layout for their rooms.

That said...and don't take this the wrong way...are you sure you want to go w/this group configuration? It might be nice to make a separate time for just you and your DD to go.

GOOD LUCK!

I absolutely DO NOT want to go with this group configuration LOL, BUT... dd's father lives in NY and we live in CA. He had been coming here more frequently than we were visiting there because a) one plane ticket is cheaper than 2 and b) when I lived in my house I had a spare bedroom so no need for a hotel. The last time we saw him, we had to go to NY, 2 tickets, and a hotel room = lots of money. My dd is only 6, and because I've lived in CA since she was 8 mos old, and he doesn't see her very often, there is no way she's going to NY alone. So now that he has this girlfriend they are looking at 2 plane tickets + hotel (I now live in a condo and wouldn't want him and gf in my house anyway). So the general consensus is it sucks for me and dd to have to go to ny and it sucks for him and gf to have to come to ca, but my dd needs to see her dad. I am not comfortable with her going with him anywhere without me, which really puts a kink in plans. This seems to be a way to sort of compromise. Him and gf come here to see dd for Christmas (her bday is 5 days after Christmas) and then we all go to Dland for a few days. This actually seems like a better way for me to spend a week of my life (in disneyland making good memories) than spend a week sitting around my house wondering what the hell to do with ex (not ex hubby) and his new gf. I know it's a psycho thing, but I just can't let dd go with them alone, I don't feel right about it, but I can't keep her from seeing her dad.
