Hi there ...
Im just starting to plan a trip down south (were up in nor-cal) for a quick Dland trip.
I have a couple of questions today & Im sure before we go I will have a few more ... so I signed up & here I am :)
First off ..
we stayed at the Marriott near the convention center a couple of years back & were pretty happy with it, so I started out there in looking for hotel rates / availability.
The first week I put in they were sold out but the Marriott Suites were available (says on their website they are about 1 mile from the park )
Another date had both hotels available - but the suites were cheaper !
I cant find any info really on the suites ... any idea why they would be less than the other one ?
Any opinions or reviews on either ??
Also - the Hilton / convention center keeps popping up in my searches as a great place to stay.
They are all in apx. the same price range - so now Im just gonna ask you all where the best of the three would be to stay.
We have 5 yr olds & are also traveling with in-laws who are VERRYYY picky about hotels.
Next question is on the dates ... we have a couple available - one happens to be the week of Valentines.
The other is the last week of Feb into the first week of March.
How are the crowds during this time ?
Any clue if they stay open late enough for Fantasmic , Electric Light Parade or Fireworks ???
Thanks SOO much in advance for any tid-bits you can offer me.
