I wanted to break up our week long trip to an offsite hotel and one on site. what are your favorites and why? I was looking at HoJos and Disneyland Hotel.... Not sure though. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated! We haven't been to DL in a few years and this is for my oldest sons graduation, so I want it to be special as he will be going away to college right after. Thanks in advance!

If you keep your eye on the Retro Rates, 2 rooms would be cheaper than 1 room at DLH. <a href="http://www.boards.hojoanaheim.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=29" target="_blank">http://www.boards.hojoanaheim....=18&t=29</a>

But since it'll be almost a year since Carsland opened, they should have died down around DCA. Disneyland is always crowded, but I chalk it up to the narrow walkways and wider people.

Really going beyond what I expect for somewhat budget accommodation.
Originally Posted By ksargen OK, at HoJo's, aside from the AP rates, the AAA rates, etc., there is also the MouseWait rate. Go look it up. And it costs nothing to be a part of. There are also the other various promotional rates. Just keep your eyes peeled. They're probably one of the best deals around.
Originally Posted By HawaiiTink Thanks! I'm apart of the MouseWait community also. I was just wondering I there were any other discounts and wanted people's opinions about different options. Thanks a lot!
