I am trying to so subtly

to get The Dave to take me to So Cal for our honeymoon...since our honeymoon is supposed to be a suprise for me..I went ahead and took the liberty of ordering the Planning DVD to be shipped to him...and...went ahead and signed him up for e-mail updates from DLR AND put allearsnet.com Disneyland site as our homepage..


Even if we don't go for our honeymoon, I'd like to go eventually..so where is the BEST place to stay on a honeymoon when your budget isn't endless..
And by that I mean no more than 130 dollars a night?

Wow... That's VERY subtle Bella...

I'm interested in hearing some of the answers too. I've never been to DLR, but I REALLY want to go sometime in the next 2 or 3 years...

Re: I am trying to so subtly

Oh my gosh Bella! We did California for our honeymoon and it was AMAZING! There is SO much more you MUST do besides DL. You'd definately have to sightsee around the LA area, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. It would be CRIMINAL not to take the AMAZING coastal highway 1 drive to the Big Sur, Monterey, and Carmel. They have some BEAUTIFUL lodges up there that are pretty affordable (we did Big Sur Lodge).

Around the DL area there are a lot off offsite DL area hotels, they call them "Good Neighbor" hotels and you can find them on-line. We didn't stay at a DL hotel on our honeymoon. We stayed at the Loew's on Santa Monica beach, and did all the driving. It's really nto that far. There are also a lot of cute hotels in that area that I think you'd love!

Do some searching on-line. It's GREAT there. That would be awesome if you got to go!

I am always singing the "Candy Cane Inn" song when someone asks me about staying near DL in a non Disney hotel. It's a small motel, but a very well cared for one and a quick walk to DL or you can take their private shuttle. It has a decent conti breakfast, a pretty lool area and really nice, clean rooms.

If you are looking to price a Disney hotel, Paradise Pier is least expensive, then DLH then the Grand Californian.

In the immediate DL area, other than the Disney owned properties there really isn't too much as far as resorts--but there are lots and lots of motels to Marriott Courtyard type properties. Of the larger hotels, the Hilton gets great reviews and good rates through Mousesavers.com, and I see good $115-ish rates at the Sheraton in Anaheim (and the Sheraton has it's own shuttle) from time to time on Expedia.

October is a big convention month in Anaheim, so you might want to google a convention calendar. The weather in October is near perfect across the state If you, I mean, the Dave needs info about CA, I'd be happy to shoot off my mouth

Re: I am trying to so subtly

Why be subtle? Most guys aren't so great at picking up on hints. (sorry, guys!) I would just tell him that you would like to go there. If you don't you might end up somewhere you really don't want to be.

When I went to LA, I stayed at that VERY same hotel. It was right off the pier! I loved it!!! I was there for work, so we didn't go to Disney. But we did do Universal. Definitely check this place out!

Well..good point but this is just one of the MANY places I'd like to go..He really wants to suprise me since I am stressing so hard about planning the wedding..he wanted to take the burden off me and plan something special..
But, I can always drop hints..right?

And I am kind of at the point where I dont care if we go to the hotel downtown..just as long as we can be alone together for a little while and not have anything to do...
