Disneyland questions? Need the best place to buy tickets and a good hotel for 3 nights?|161293

We are planning on Disneyland at the end of May. We will be driving. Are there any hotels that offer a package with ticktes to the park? Also,suggestions for a kid-friendly hotel? We can_t stay in the Disneyland Hotel (too expensive). Looking to pay not more than $150/night. Oh,and we are bringing our 5 and 1 year old. Are 1 yr olds free admission?

I would recommend you stay on harbor by disneyland. Try the paradise pier hotel like someone else mentioned and also try AAA they are good at giving dicounts and packages. the one year old is free. try Vons i think they sell discount tickets, if not email me and i can try to help u find the cheapest way to go, i can also give u times of operation and numbers to nearby places....

Your best bet is to purchase your Disneyland tickets direct from Disney -- you_ll get a discount by purchasing a multi-day hopper pass:

Children under 3 are free.

There are some great hotels directly across the street from Disneyland -- literally within walking distance (5 to 10 minutes from room to Main Street):

Best Western Park Place Inn

Literally the closest

Park Vue Inn

Next to the Best Western

Camelot Inn _ Suites

A popular choice...

Carousel Inn

Hope that helps!

I always recommend the Candy Cane Inn and the Howard Johnson (HoJo). While some hotels are closer, these two are very close to the front entrance, so you can walk back to the hotel for a swim or a nap in the afternoon. They are a step above the other hotels in the immediate area in terms of rooms, service, pool, and value.

Check out the location below:

Some hotels offer tickets, but you don_t get any sort of big discount. As already mentioned, your 1YO is free. I also recommend disneyland.com for buying tickets, you can have them sent to you in the mail. I_ve done this many times... it works great and you don_t have to stand an hour in the ticket line at the park.

Have fun!

Tip: Call 714-781 DINE to make reservations for Carnation Cafe. They have a great PBJ which kids love, and it keeps them busy for about 20 minutes... building it, then eating it.

Try the Park Vue Inn.

They sell park tickets, possible in a package.

They_re cheap and directly across the street from Disneyland. About a 5 minute walk to the front gate.

I year olds are free.
There are many family hotels by Disneyland, try Hotels.com.
If you belong to AAA, they always have the best deals.
Safeway also sells park-hoppers.

the best plan would be to stay at paradise pier hotel it is cheaper than the other disney hotels and they offer package deals for the parks plus it is only a few feet from disney_s california adventure park :)

Recommendations for driving from Massachusetts to Florida?|149172

Myself, and a couple of buddies are planning a road trip from Massachusetts to Florida in early May. We were just wondering if anyone knew any cool stops or anything along those lines to check out while on our way. Also, what are some recommended routes to take that are easy, scenic, and or quick. Anything else helpful is much appreciated!

Not much after DC!

When does it start to cool down in New York City?|133792

I moved here a few months ago from the dry desert and I just can_t take these muggy hot summer days. When does autumn start in NYC?

The weather begins to cool in mid september, but it stays warm and comfortable into November.

It will vary every year because of the different weather patterns..etc..
...but I like to say Mid September and beyond is where the weather normally begins to shift.

This July was actually not bad in terms of heat.....August seems to be murderous so far....

I think your going to find this weather more bearable unlike our winter weather in January, Feb and March.....The wind chill in NYC can be pretty intense....mix that with Ice and snow.....thats going to be fun experience for you.... =)

Who knows? We_re talking about the weather. If you could predict it, tell me who_s going to win the fifth race at aqueduct on tuesday. Unpredictable.

At the moment, 1:45 a.m., it_s cool and raining in NYC.

September

Around the end of August or 1st of September, you will start getting the occasional cold front that reminds you that fall won_t be too far away. It will gradually get cooler after that.

How can I get from Manhattan, NY to Philadelphia, PA without spending a lot of money?|156700

Is there a train or subway that can take me to and from these cities?

YOU CAN WALK ITS GREAT EXERCISE FOR THE BODY

Forget going to Atlantic City
The Chinese Bus, if you are not familiar, you wouldnt want to take it
The chepeast is bus from port authority or the reguar, not high speed, train. My Guess is you_ll take the bus.

greyhound, or hitchhike.

take the Chinatown buses


http://www.staticleap.com/chinatownbus/

probably the greyhound bus

amtrack or greyhound bus are the best choices.

Amtrak. There is no subway in between cities.

Greyhound is the least expensive (and easier to get to than the Chinatown Bus) - it costs $12 one-way between NYC and Philly.

Those chinatown buses are death traps. If you don_t mind a longer trip than AMTRAK you can take New Jersey transit along the same line but it goes slower and makes more stops. At some point you will have to switch to the PA train. Do a little research on the internet.

hitch hike.

Take a bus.

I understand the cheapest way to travel among certain cities is a bus service, possibly based in Chinatown, that carries mostly Chinese Americans. I have heard there is a NY to Boston. I know there is a NY to the CT Casinos. There may be a NY to Atlantic City. If so, it may pass close to Philadelphia and may even stop there. If not, there is probably an Atlantic City to Philadelphia bus. The gambling buses often have deals for free meals and some gambling money.

yes you should take the _chinatown bus_: the philly line is apex bus. it goes from chinatown to chinatown between ny and philly and it costs 12$ one-way.

the bus is the cheapest, but you can take amtrak (train) if you like, but it will cost like 45 bucks each way for the metroliner and about double for acela (buisness class, but seperate trains)

You could take a greyhound bus. I have done it myself. That or Capital Trailways, I believe it is still called. If you set it up ahead of time, you save money.

walk. or better yet take a bike.

take the jersey turnpike, its only like 5 buck if u do

You can take the Amtrak, but if you are looking to save money, I_d take the chinatown bus.

Really cheap and just fine. The ride is only about 2 hours anyway.

What are the most beautiful places in Washington State?|167798

I am looking for a wonderfully beautiful, secluded out of the way place to have my wedding. It will be a very small gathering ( 5 people) and we would prefer a place that is out in nature, publicly accesable, and beautiful. The fewer tourist that we run into the better. Neither of us are big hikers, so a place that is easy to get to woudl be best, but a little hiking is okay. Waterfalls, forests, and wonderful views will be top of our list. Let me know if you have suggestions.

Def Snoqualmie Falls would be a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding as was stated above! Also, perhaps the Ocean, such as at Ocean Shores (depending on the season, it may be too cold). Edmonds has a beautiful waterfront area and there are some places along the water, south of the ferry terminal that I believe has some rental hall type places. That might be less _touristy_ than the other two. For a _colder_ wedding, perhaps at a lodge in the passes during ski season? Seems a bit chilly to me, but it is another beautiful backdrop, with the snowy mountains. Leavenworth during Christmas time or during Oktoberfest is also great!

I too was thinking of Snoqualmie Falls, when I decided to answer your question. It is indeed beautiful and sounds like what you are describing.

Snoqualmie Falls. Salish Lodge is a little spendy but it looks right over the falls. Excellent food.

Check out the islands off the coast!

San Juan Island, which is in western Washington, is extremely beautiful

I love Eastern Washington around Walla Walla. It_s wide open spaces, not very many trees, but wheat fields, farms and creeks with beautiful vistas of the Blue Mtns.. There are several B+B_s in the area and lots of local wine to drink. Check wallawalla.com and you might find something you like.

I have friends who own Mountain Springs Lodge in Leavenworth. Beautiful place, relatively affordable, a variety of areas to do the deed, and driveable.
They do lots of weddings, so they would know how to treat you right.

What time of the year do you want to get married? if Spring or Summer Hurricane Ridge in the Olympics would be ideal. It is a spot for tourists but if you hike just a short path beyond the visitor_s center you_d have some privacy. It_s also be a gorgeous spot for wedding photos with the Olympic Mountains as your backdrop.
