When I called to change my reservation from PPH to DLH she told me they were sold out. Keep checking back though, people may cancel.
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Oh no. Sold out? I guess then there's no hope for lower rates. At least we're staying until Tuesday so I could still probably get DLH rooms on Sunday and Monday nights. Still hoping for lower rates.

Anyone know if we will have any entertainment along the course for the DL race?

Very briefly, it starts on Disneyland Drive, go down Katella, into DCA then DL, down Ball Rd, run to Arrowhead Pond and Angels Stadium, back through DCA, then end shortly past Downtown Disney.
