Which Marriott brand hotel for most convenient?

[SeaSpray]

Hi everyone:

I think this is my first time here on the DLR board. DH and I are taking a 2-week cruise on the Disney Wonder through the Panama Canal next May, ending up in San Diego.

We are planning on going to DLR on the day we get off the ship (would be fairly early in the morning), which is a Friday (May 15) and staying until Sunday the 17th so that would give us most of Friday and all of Saturday, and maybe a little of Sunday depending on what time our flight is.

We are only interested in visiting the Magic Kingdom for the classics, plus lunch at Blue Bayou. We won't be going to California Adventure or any other areas of DLR.

I have health and mobility issues, and we won't have a car with us. We'll be taking it slow, and since we're only interested in the Magic Kingdom, I think this is plenty of time. It's been about 20 years since I've been to DLR and DH has never been there, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to go.

It's a long story, but after spending the last 5+ weeks in 2 suites of a Marriott property, we now have a million Marriott Reward points to use.

Which of the following properties would you recommend for us? We'd be walking, I guess, to DLR, unless the hotels have transportation....??

Any and all feedback is welcome!

#1: Fairfield Inn Anaheim Resort "0 miles" from DLR

#2: Residence Inn Anaheim Maingate "0.5 miles" from DLR

#3: Courtyard Anaheim at Disneyland Resort "0.9 miles" from DLR



I know that the closest one on a map isn't necessarily the closest one when walking to the entrance of DLR. Any help with this?? Thanks!!!

The Fairfield is the closest. I would consider it a 6-7 minute walk to the main gate.

I've stayed there before and it wasn't bad at all. It's more a moderately priced business-class hotel though.

And technically "Magic Kingdom" doesn't apply to Disneyland. You're probably thinking of "Disneyland Park".

Yes...it is Disneyland or California Adventure over here.
As far as hotels go, I would choose the FFI...closest, clean...we have stayed here several times with no complaints.

Thanks for the replies.

I just booked 2 nights at the Fairfield Inn Anaheim Resort, using points.

Originally we were going to stay at the Grand Californian, but we've had a lot of unexpected medical and house bills this year, so "free hotel" wins.
