Welcome to Mousebuzz!

Good to know you are going to Disneyland. There aren't enough of us West Coasters on this forum...

Any other sources I should know about? Small World Travel actually has the same price as Costco, but Costco includes more "extras." Not sure if going with Small World would be better because of their reputation and the ability to reach a real person in case I need to?

I don't think you can go wrong with Costco..

My husband and I want to get either a suite or two adjoining rooms so that we don't have to be super quiet from 7:30 pm until we go to sleep. Disney says they cannot guarantee adjoining rooms - would we be better off with a suite? Anyone have any experience with this?

I've never done the small children thing. The suite's are a bit more expensive, but if you are looking for a small buffer for noise, worthwhile..

Thanks so much for your help!

I have yet to stay at the Grand Californian. However, I try to make it a point to stroll through, as well as eat at Napa Rose every now and then.

It is well worth the time if you can afford it. Especially with youngsters, it would make your vacation much more convenient.. It's up to you to decide if they are old enough to appreciate the hotel..
