Years ago we stayed at the Desert Inn and Suites and the parking was horrible. We don't want a replay of that type of situation. (No parking avail even though you have a parking pass, etc.) We definitely don't want to pay for parking either. Thanks for any info you can share..

Originally Posted By redlegtwo I've never had a problem finding a spot at BWPPI or CCI. Some of the spots are difficult to park in though if you have a large SUV or truck. That's probably true at most of the hotels near Disneyland though. I'm pretty sure someone hit my bumper at BWPPI. When I got home from a trip after staying there, I noticed the dent in my rear bumper. On another trip, I was turning into HOJOs and someone tried to go around me and put a long, not too deep dent in the side of my van. They took off. And on another trip, just as I was leaving Disneyland and merging on the freeway, my front left tire caught the edge of a construction ladder that was laying in the middle of a lane. Naturally it went flat and I had to spend a couple of hours waiting to get a new tire. My poor (less than 2 years old) van has not had much luck down there. I've never had a problem with any of the other vehicles I've driven there.

Originally Posted By mouseymom ^Desert Slums? Uh Oh. That is where I have reservations in Dec. Is it bad?
