(I was even considering springing for the DL Hotel or Paradise Pier but, of course, they're booked solid.) Just wondering if anyone knew of any special deals for either place during this, the busiest week of the year - lol. I know, I know, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
Originally Posted By funnygarcia I found better rates for Hojo's by booking thru Getawaytoday. Tickets and hotel as package.

Very happy wiht that as I was going to book Entertainemnt rate at Holiday Inn and suites on Walnut (via Holiday Inn web site, pull down menu on rate preference).. cheaper at $69 but hated this hotel the first time we went. Also looked at Crowne Plaza Garden Grove for $82 Entertainment rate and resort fee. But worried about relying on their bus during holidays. Hojo's costs more but feels good to be closer to the park and know that it will be a good stay.

They alos have this on web site... Per room prices, NOT per person. 2 adults and up to 3 children using existing beds (except where noted). Please see "Hotel Details" for max. room occupancy I requested for 2 queen ,no smoking, roll away. My thoughts are that Hojo's has great service and if I email Willie (or call the hotel directly) that my requests can be met.

He recently helped me out with something and I appreciated it. Just don't wait until the last minute to ask. The sooner your reservation can be earmarked with your request, the better!
