I will be staying at the ramada in Maingate and I am not quit sure how far down harbor this is so my question is will I be safe at midnight? I do not walk at night so am a bit afraid walking to far at night. Disneyland is open until midnight while I am thereso I though I would get a movie in and play it by ear. I want to see the late fantasmic, and so I will be leaving the parks quit late ( for this old lady any way :) )

It is safe Karla.. but I can walk you back to the hotel (since I dont start workm until 1 am that night)..no problem for me as I have to kill time anyways.. I usually show up at DCA at 12:30..is that ok????

Karla, I've gone twice alone and am doing it again in May. Where you're staying is well lit and there will be lots of people crossing with you. I stay at the BWPPI but walk down to Denny's (which is close to your hotel) and I've never had a problem. I'd say each night I did that it was well after midnight too.

It can't hurt to put a good, old-fashioned whistle on your key ring, just in case. Coach whistles can be found in sporting goods stores, and maybe Walmart, and are only about three bucks. Hey, a gal alone can never be too careful! And today, unlike when I was a kid, they're an unusual sound, so they attract attention.

It's not far, and Harbor Boulevard is filled with tourists until LONG after the parks close.

I would think you are as safe as can be. The city of Anaheim is strongly motivated to keep this area VERY safe, especially for vistors, who (conservatively) would be, I would guess, 80 percent of the people walking on Harbor Boulevard at any time, day or night.

Worry not.

Most of the time, all the streets around the resort are fulled with people heading to and from the various venues.
Although it sounds like you will meet up, it would be doubtful that you would be wandering empty streets in any case.
