If you are staying at the convention center area near Disneyland, then I’ve got a hot tip for you! It’s about a 20 minute walk from the convention center to the front gates of Disneyland. That’s do-able, but why not save those tootsies and ride the parking shuttle FOR FREE from the Buzz and Woody Parking Lots? This parking lot is literally across the street from the convention center. The lines for the shuttles are long sometimes. Like, REALLY long and increasingly so. But they actually move incredibly fast. We timed ourselves moving through a line that reached the back of the parking lot and it only took 10 minutes to reach the bus. In addition, this put us in our own short security line with the other bus riders once we reached the park. The security line comprised of those walking in from the street wrapped around the block! We were able to get past security and into the park much quicker than if we would have walked and waited in the standard security line.

Here’s a list of hotels on the convention center block, where I recommend using this tip:

• Hilton Anaheim*
• Anaheim Marriott*
• Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort*
• Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort*
• Portofino Inn & Suites*
• Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort*
• Hyatt Place at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center*
• Cortona Inn and Suites Anaheim Resort*
• Courtyard Anaheim Resort/Convention Center*
• Best Western Plus Raffles Inn & Suites*
• Travelodge by Wyndham Anaheim Convention Center

All those with a * can be booked through Get Away Today, where you can bundle and save on park tix too! Go HERE to book/see their prices.
