Also, we have never gone to the parks on our last day of trip. This time I want to, so if check out is at 11:00, do they let you store luggage there until you go to the airport? I guess all the hotels may be different, (we still have not agreed on where to stay), but generally, do they let you? We would like to go to the parks since our flight isn't until 5:00 pm. Our Hotel issue is this...My husband (who does not know much about Disney) talked to his boss who just got back. Boss stayed at The Grand. Husband tells me "we need to stay at this Grand place Boss told me about". I was just planning on Park Place Inn. I told him there is a huge difference between the two hotels LOL! I don't want to pay to stay at the grand. The last two times we went we stayed at the Embassy suites south. I really liked them but hated the ART shuttle. We would be sitting on the shuttle waiting to turn left into Disneyland and you would watch all the happy people walking across the street from their hotel rooms. When we would leave Disney we would be sitting down at the ART place waiting for the shuttle and everyone would walk right past us and straight to their rooms. That's what I want! So that is where we are at right now. I'm trying to show hubby the huge price difference. I already am paying more to fly into John Wayne instead of LAX. Nuff' said! Thanks for letting me vent awhile. It really helps to hear eveyone's feedback! Cinderelly from Utah

It's not a good value, but it's worth it.

Originally Posted By disnyfans cinderelly30 If you are asking if UEA in Utah is always in Oct. then the answer is yes. I am also from Utah and we are also planning on going in Oct to Disneyland. Trying to go around UEA although we do not know the exact dates they will be held yet. Sorry I don't know if the hotel will store your luggage or not. We drive to Disneyland so we don't have to worry about that. I hope I helped you some.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ Not that I'm aware of. Park Place Inn will hold your luggage. I've stayed there many times.
