Honest Reviews of all the Hotels we’ve used around Disneyland

Christy — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 16:20:26 +0000

We have taken over 50 trips to Disneyland and we’ve stayed at a number of different hotels around the Disneyland resort. I am sharing my honest thoughts on all the hotels we have stayed at over the years. When it comes to booking the hotel for our Disneyland trips I always check the package deals through Get Away Today, because they always seem to have the lowest prices. I highly recommend checking Get Away Today for package deals or tickets only.

I often get asked if I think staying at a Disneyland hotel is worth the extra cost. I think it’s fun to stay at a Disneyland hotel at least once or twice, but we mostly choose the good neighbor hotels around the resort for a couple of reasons. One, we don’t really spend much time in our hotel, we prefer to hang out at the Disney Parks or at the beach. Second, the prices of the Disneyland hotels are substantially higher, we prefer to go for a less expensive hotel which leaves extra money for Disney treats, meals and souvenirs. We can also make more trips to Disneyland each year by choosing hotels that are less expensive.

When we started our Disney trips we had a family of 7, since some of our older kids have headed off to college we don’t need large rooms anymore. Plus, many of our trips have just been my husband and I (Yes! We do take kidless trips to Disneyland). You will find that many of these hotels have room options that work well for large families. My favorite hotel that fits 8 is the Grand Legacy (3 room suite). My favorite hotel for 5 is the Fairfield Inn or Tropicana Inn & Suites.

If I had to narrow down my top hotel choices, it would be these hotels, most of which are within very close walking distance. It really is a huge plus not to have to drive, park or ride a shuttle into the parks.

Grand Californian Hotel & Spa – If it’s in the budget, this is such an amazing hotel to stay at, the location can’t be beat and we love the perk of getting into the parks 30 minutes before everyone else.
The Westin Anaheim Resort – This hotel is absolutely stunning! They have some amazing rooms with views of DCA.
Grand Legacy at the Park – The walking distance from this hotel is super easy, they have family suites which are great for large families and they have one of the nicest pools of the hotels on Harbour Blvd.
Fairfield Inn – We love this location for it’s proximity and the fact that there is a Panera Bread in the parking lots which makes breakfast super easy. We also love the fact that it’s a Marriott hotel and we can use our Marriott rewards to get free stays.
Tropicana Inn – This is a great hotel that is fairly easy on the budget and it is one of the closest hotels to the entrance to Disneyland.
Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance – This is a great hotel with plenty of room for everyone. The rooms also have a microwave which is really handy. Kids will love the waterpark and pool!

Disneyland Hotels

Grand Californian Hotel & Spa (5 times) – This hotel is amazing as far as location and ambiance. I love the huge open lobby and the atmosphere with the fireplace and the Craftsman decor. The restaurant selection is great! We love the Craftsman Grill for quick meals and Storyteller’s Cafe for sit down meals. The pool is wonderful. The rooms are lighter and brighter since the remodel and I really like them. The showers are amazing! Each room has a refrigerator and you can find a microwave on each level near the ice machine. Many rooms have amazing views of California Adventure from the balcony, but you will pay extra for those. This hotel is an amazing option if you have the funds and if you have small children, taking them back to the room for a nap is so easy. Keep in mind this hotel does not have tubs, they only have showers. The customer service is great, everyone was very friendly. The pool was only open until 8pm when we visited in January, which is a bummer, because we were hoping to sit in the hot tub after a long day at the parks. I know the pool hours are extended in the summer, but it’s something to check when you are visiting. This is probably my absolute favorite hotel around Disneyland, but the price is often a deal breaker for me. I’d prefer to stay at a less expensive hotel to allow for more trips.

Disneyland Hotel (4 times) – This hotel is completely magical! The rooms are stunning! I love all the little Disney touches you can find around the room and though out the entire hotel. This my favorite of all the Disneyland hotels as far as the rooms and the grounds. The floor to ceiling windows give you a great view and let in a lot of light. In addition to the property being amazing, the restaurant selection here is great too. We love Goofy’s Kitchen for character breakfast and Tangaroa Terrace is a great option too. The only drawback that I see (and it won’t be a drawback for everyone) is the fact that the pool is only about 4 feet deep. This is great if you have little ones, but we were traveling with 4 teens and they weren’t all that impressed with the pool.

Villas at Disneyland Hotel (once) – We stayed in a Deluxe Studio, which had a queen bed and a pull down queen bed and a little kitchenette. The decor and amenities of the room are gorgeous! They also have 1, 2 and 3 bedroom villas that include full-size kitchens and sleep quite a few people. You get access to an exclusive pool and cute Steamboat Willie splash pad. I love the fact that everything at this hotel is new and pretty. Even the walk down the hallways is gorgeous! The staff at the Disneyland hotel is always top notch.

NEW! Pixar Place Hotel (once/twice when it was previously Paradise Pier Hotel) – The theming throughout the hotel is so well done! The rooms include some truly stunning artwork and the service we experienced from cast members was exceptional. One of our favorite things about this hotel was the private entrance into Disney’s California Adventure. This park entrance is exclusive to guests of the Pixar Place hotel which means you most likely won’t wait in any lines at all. We literally walked right through security! It’s less than a 10 minute walk away lets you in right next to Goofy’s Sky School. Majorly convenient! However, it’s important to note that you can only enter through here before 12:00 pm. You can exit through here any time of day though. They also have a great pool area! It’s situated on a rooftop on the third floor and includes a snack shack, plenty of lounging area, and a decent sized pool! The only major downside is the elevator situation. You cannot access the stairwell from the first floor and the elevators run on a unique system that means you’ll likely be waiting a while. It was a common gripe amongst all guests. We bonded with a few strangers in the lobby over how long it takes to grab an elevator.

Super Easy Walking Distance

We have found that we love staying within walking distance so we don’t have to bother with parking. The hotels with an easy walking distance to Disneyland are always the hotels I check first. These hotels are located on Harbour Boulevard across the street from the entrance to the Disney Parks.

Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance (once) I have been wanting to stay at this hotel for awhile, I have heard so many great things from other people. The rooms are very nice with plenty of room. You can find either a king bed or two queens & then most rooms also have bunk beds for the kids. There are also two showers in the rooms too!. We have a room with a view and could actually see the Disneyland fireworks from our balcony. The service was great, and there is a Bistro restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner within the hotel. We love to take advantage of the Panera bread that is super close by, we just order our breakfast and stop by before we head to Disneyland. The pool and waterpark is still by reservation only and that’s a little difficult because it’s not always easy to plan pool time on your Disney days. We wanted to go in the hot tub after a day in the park and unfortunately there wasn’t any openings. If you are driving, valet parking is the only option at this property. This hotel is still a super option if you are looking for something a little nicer than most of the hotels on Harbour Blvd.

Fairfield Inn (7 times) – This is probably the hotel we like the best and use the most. The location is great and the rooms have 2 queen beds and one fold out loveseat so it makes it super easy to sleep 5 people. Many rooms at other hotels only sleep 4. The showers at this hotel are nice, too many other hotels have very low water pressure. There is a Panera Bread in the parking lot (this is a huge plus for us)! We have a Marriott Rewards/credit card so we can often times stay here with our points. There are 2 different rooms at this hotel. You can get a standard room or a deluxe room with a view (the photo above is a deluxe room). Save your money and just go for the standard room. I don’t feel the view is really worth the extra cost.

Best Western Park Place Inn (2 times) – The rooms aren’t over the top amazing, but they are comfortable and there is plenty of space. The staff here is amazing and super friendly. My husband had to make a copy for something business related and he went down to ask if they had a business center so he could make copies. They did not, but they said they would be happy to make the copies for him on their copier. Every time we walked by the desk they would greet us with a great big smile. I am so impressed with the employees here! One drawback is the pool is teeny tiny. If we know we are going to want to swim, I usually skip this hotel because of the pool. Breakfast is free here, but honestly it wasn’t all that impressive and I mostly just stuck to a granola bar in our room.

Grand Legacy at the Park (7 times) There are a couple of reasons we really like this hotel, one of which is they have great options for larger families. Twice now we have stayed in the three room suite, which fits our family of 7 perfectly. The pool at this hotel is a nice size too, it’s much bigger than the other hotels within walking distance. They also have a free snack in the morning, they give you a piece of fruit, granola bar, crackers & a water bottle in a lunch sack.

Tropicana Inn & Suites (5 times) – We recently stayed at the Tropicana Inn & Suites and we will be adding this to our list of Disneyland hotels we will use on a regular basis. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave in the room. It’s not common to find microwaves in hotels near the Disneyland resort. Our room had a King bed and a sleeper chair. They do offer 2 queen beds and a sleeper chair, which makes it a great option if you have 5 members in your family. This hotel is just across the street from the main entrance to Disneyland. I love that it is super close, which is a huge perk. The pool was a little on the small side, so keep that in mind if your family wants to do some swimming.

Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites (once) – This location is fantastic! Just a stone’s throw from the entrance to Disneyland, this is a great place to stay if you enjoy taking breaks in the middle of the day and don’t want a long trek back to your hotel or dislike waiting for a shuttle. While this place may have a coveted spot on Harbor Blvd, the room itself wasn’t exactly top-tier. The shower was old and lightly stained and the beds left much to be desired. Not only that, but the pool was small and located indoors, which definitely feels strange for a place like California. But at the end of the day, this hotel is on the more affordable end, and you get what you pay for. Besides, most of your day is probably spent in the parks anyways, so if you want a great location for a great price, and are willing to give up some of the “luxuries” associated with hotels, this is a good spot! Also, worth noting they have some family suites that can sleep 8-10 people.

Howard Johnson (once) – We finally booked a stay at the Howard Johnson! We’ve been wanting to try this hotel for awhile. The staff was very friendly, We stayed in one of their newly updated rooms and we loved the decor and the layout of the room. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave which is very handy. If you have small children you will love having access to the Pirate’s Cove water playground that is included with your stay. The pool is decent size compared to some of the other hotels that are within walking distance. The one problem we experienced during our stay was the fact that the internet was really bad, most of the time we couldn’t get it to work at all. I did love the fact that we could place on online order for breakfast from Panera & pick it up on our walk to the park.The walk to the parks is about 8 minutes, so not bad at all.

Moderate Walking Distance

The Westin Anaheim Resort (once) – This hotel might be my all time favorite stay at Disneyland, the hotel is stunning! It’s great to have a luxury hotel near the Disneyland resort. Our room had a balcony with an absolutely amazing view of Disney California Adventure. This hotel really felt more like a resort destination. The pool area has plenty of loungers. If you are one that loves to workout even while on vacation you will love their exercise room, they have thought of everything! They have a cool roof-top bar. You can add “club level” at this hotel for the fee of $150 a day, which gives 4 people access to the club lounge which serves breakfast, snacks and more. You also gain access to the patio where you can view the the nighttime fireworks at Disneyland. This hotel is about a mile away from Disneyland, so it’s not a super easy walk, but totally doable!

Four Points by Sheraton (2 times) – I was very impressed with this hotel. The rooms were nice and the walking distance wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It’s a straight walk on the sidewalk (over the freeway overpass), you are already on the side of Disneyland, so you won’t need to cross over Harbor Boulevard. One of the things I liked the most about this hotel is that the pool was open 24 hours. Often times when you get back from Disneyland the kids want to swim in the pool (no matter how late it is) or you want to sit in the hot tub and at other hotels the pool is closed. This was a great feature! This hotel has an on-site restaurant too.

Candy Cane Inn (once) – There are three different room options at this hotel, Standard, Deluxe and Premium. We stayed in the standard room and it was a little on the small side. This hotel includes a deluxe complimentary breakfast with your stay, which is basically cereal, oatmeal, pastries, hard boiled eggs and fruit. Once again the pools is small, but the property is pretty. It does have a Disneyland shuttle from the hotel, but it only leaves every hour and a half during park hours.

Anaheim Marriott Convention Center (once) – We are quite fond of most Marriott properties. This hotel is beautiful and we received excellent service. The beds were super comfy. The wi-fi at this hotel is not free unless your are a Marriott Rewards member. There is a shuttle running to Disneyland, but it is not free. This hotel is very close to the Disneyland Toy Story lot parking lot so you can just walk over there and use the Disney shuttle to take you to the parks. The pool is nice, but it is little shallow. It’s about a 15 minute walk to Disneyland.

Drive or Take a Shuttle

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel (once) – This hotel has great prices. The further you get from Disneyland the less you will pay. It’s not too far away and the hotel has a shuttle that leaves every 30 minutes, which was super convenient. The shuttle ride takes about 5 minutes. The pool was great and a nice size too. I thought the rooms were spacious, but they weren’t the cleanest I’ve seen. I enjoyed the nice little garden areas around the hotel. The service was great. I enjoyed my stay, but wasn’t wow’d. I would stay here again if it was an amazing rate and the closer hotels weren’t available.

Sonesta ES Suites (formerly Staybridge Inn & Suites) (2 times) – If you have a large family, I highly recommend this hotel. We booked a 2 bedroom suite which comes with 2 bathrooms (which is really handy when you have 7 people in your family). The rooms here come with a fully equipped kitchens, which is another big plus. The breakfast here is top notch, they give you more than just cereal and bagels. In addition to breakfast there is also an Evening Reception that serves food on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This hotel is next to an Anaheim Resort Transit stop so you can use that for transportation instead of driving your car and dealing with parking.

Cortona Inn & Suites (once) – For the first time ever we are adding a hotel to the list that we wouldn’t actually recommend. This hotel states that is has free breakfast, free wi-fi and free parking, but they charge a $16 resort fee, so these items aren’t technically free. The room we stayed in had damaged furniture, the sink didn’t have any hot water, I could only find one open outlet (and it wasn’t near the bed). The room does have a microwave (which is rare) and a mini fridge. The pool is on the small side and the breakfast wasn’t all that impressive, mostly cereal, yogurt, sausage patties and square shaped scrambled eggs. This hotel is located near the Toy Story lot so you could walk over and catch the shuttle from the Disney lot. We did get an amazing rate on this hotel, but I think it’s mainly because it doesn’t come with many amenities and because it’s a little further away from the parks.

Hyatt Anaheim Orange County (once) – We love this hotel! It’s gorgeous, there is more than enough room for even our large family. The only drawback is it’s not that close to the parks and you will have to drive in or take a shuttle. We also have a Hyatt Rewards/credit card which is another reason why we like the Hyatt properties. This hotel offers exclusive shuttle service to Disneyland Resort for guests going to and from these theme parks for a daily fee.

ALO Hotel by Ayres (once) – This best feature about this hotel is the price! If you are looking for a budget-friendly hotel near-ish to Disneyland, this might be a great option for you. It’s actually about 3 miles from Disneyland, so not super close compared to most of our hotel recommendations. We really prefer to stay closer to Disneyland, so we probably won’t choose this one again, but overall we were impressed with the hotel in general. I loved the fact that parking was free (you will find free parking at more hotels the further you drive away from Disneyland). There is a free hot breakfast buffet every morning. It’s even a pet-friendly hotel.

NEW! SpringHill Suites Anaheim Maingate (once) – We stayed in a Queen Suite and I couldn’t believe how spacious it was! It comes with a massive closet and plenty of space in the bathroom. The rooms come with both a microwave and mini-fridge. The hotel provides free continental breakfast (which is always a win when the rest of your meals that day are going to be pretty expensive! They also have an outdoor pool, hot tub, fire pit, and patio area. This is a great option if you’re looking for something a little more affordable with tons of space!

Hotels We Want to Try

While we are happy with so many of the hotels on this list we are always open to trying new properties. Here are a couple we are looking forward to trying in the future.

SunCoast Park Hotel Anaheim – This is a newer hotel that looks like it would be a great option. It gets great reviews, has free breakfast and it looks like the pool is awesome too.

JW Marriott Anaheim Resort As far as Disneyland area hotels go, this is more on the luxurious side, it would be great for a kid-free trip to Disneyland (which we enjoy)!

If you have a Disneyland trip planned don’t forget to check the package deals through Get Away Today, they consistently offer the lowest prices I have seen. We have used them on more than 1/2 of our Disney trips and I am always pleased with the service. If you book a package deal you can use the the code THRIVING10 to save an addition $10 off the package price. I’d love to hear about your favorite Disneyland hotels. Do you use the same one every time, or do you like to switch it up? If you have questions about any of these hotels don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to help!

We have plenty of other Disney posts to help with your vacation planning. Check them out!

Tokyo & Kyoto 14-Day Itinerary

Christy — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 17:40:41 +0000

This was our second trip to Japan, we have completely fallen in love with the country and look forward to going back a third time (hopefully in the fall sometime). There are so many great places to explore and eat. The Japanese people are so kind and courteous. The city is clean and orderly. I love the fact that we were in a different country but felt totally safe. It’s such an amazing destination, I highly recommend visiting Japan!

Day 1

Land at Narita airport

Took Limousine bus to ANA Intercontinental Tokyo in Akasaka. You can take a train to the city, but if you have large luggage this is a great way to travel especially if your hotel is one of the stops along the way. You don’t need to book in advance, just buy tickets at the counter as you exit the terminal.

Day 2

We started the day early at Ueno Park to check out the Cherry Blossoms and the crowds were light early in the morning. The key to lighter crowds really is to wake up early.

Next we headed to Asakusa for lunch to check out the following:

Sensō-ji temple
Nakamise-dori Street (we ate Melonpan and Taiyaki)
Kappabashi Kitchen Street – street that sells lots of kitchenware (bring cash)
Lunch at Sushiro (conveyer belt sushi that also had things like chicken, fries and ramen for the non-sushi eating people in our family)

In the evening we went to Akihabara for our youngest, he wanted to check out the manga, anime, and electronics stores.

Day 3

We started the day at TeamLab Borderless which is a digital art museum. I highly recommend! It was a trip highlight for all for of us. You can purchase tickets one month in advance. I recommend trying for the earliest time slot so the museum isn’t as crowded, it definitely gets fuller as the day goes on. TeamLab Borderless is fun for kids too, there is an area where you color a sea creature, they scan it and it ends up on the wall. It’s so fun!

They also have another one which is called TeamLab Planets, and it’s a little more interactive, you take off your shoe and walk through water. We did not book this one, but after visiting TeamLab Borderless, we really wish we did.

Next up, we headed to Ginza to check out Age.3 and their viral fried sandwiches, we waited in line for about 30 minutes. They were good, but I’m not sure I would wait much longer then 30 minutes for them.

We also had some shopping planned at the following stores:

Itoya – largest stationery store founded in 1904 with 12 levels of paper goods, pens, crafts and more. Absolute heaven!
Uniqlo Flagship Store – There are 12 floors at this store and you can even customize some items (tip: this store gets crazy busy and crowded so there are several other Uniqlo stores around Tokyo worth visiting if your aren’t up for braving the crowds)
Loft – great place for useful souvenirs, stationery and more. Just a fun store to check out!

We headed to Shinjuku in the evening to eat at a Yakiniku restaurant, which is a a Japanese-style barbecue restaurant where we grilled bite-sized pieces of meat, seafood, and vegetables at our table.

Day 4

We took a day trip to Kamakura to see the Great Buddha statue at the Kotoku-in Temple. We also strolled the streets to check out the shops and get something to yummy to eat.

We also had a stop at Enoshima planned to check out the Enoshima Shrine and Samuel Cocking Garden. This was a nice stop along the coast that got us out of the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend!

Day 5

We planned this as a little more relaxing and chill day so we didn’t burn ourselves out, walking in Tokyo is no joke…so much walking and so many stairs! We still got to see some great things! We visited Shinjuku Gyoen National Gardens where the Cherry Blossoms were in full bloom. I recommend visiting this park even if it isn’t cherry blossom season, it’s so pretty!

We also explored Meiji Jingu, which is a temple in the middle of a dense forest right in the middle of the city. If you don’t want huge crowds, I recommend visiting early in the morning at both of these locations. Early evening is a great option too!

We had dinner at an Indian Restaurant we found on our last trip to Japan that we enjoyed very much. It’s called KHANA Indian restaurant, the portions are good, the food is great and the price is small. Food is Tokyo is so good and often very cheap!

Day 6

We got lucky and scored tickets to the Ghibli Museum! My son is a fan and this was one of the things he really wanted to do. Getting tickets for the Ghibli Museum were harder to secure than Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets. LOL! Tickets become available on the 10th day of the month (10 am JST) before you want to attend, you will need to be online about 10 minutes or so before they are released and use multiple devices. We had 6 devices running, most said were were between 25,000-30,000 in line. I’ve heard if you get a number 8000 or less there is a decent chance you will get tickets. Fortunately, my son was number 3800 in line on his phone and we were able to secure the tickets.

It’s a rather small museum, but if you are big Ghibli fan, you will go nuts. There is some memorabilia, a short film to watch and a gift shop.

We visited Shibuya Crossing, it’s neat to cross the crazy intersection, but my son said he was underwhelmed, so it may or may not be a worth a visit to you.

We stopped at the Disney flagship store in Shinjuku because we are huge Disney fans. There is a really cute store in Shibuya too, but it is smaller and has too many shoppers in a small space for my liking!

In the evening we headed toward the Tokyo Disney resort and checked into our room at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel. We chose to visit by private shuttle because we all had large suitcases. You can use a luggage forwarding service and take public transportation as an option too.

Day 7

We started our day at Tokyo Disneyland. Since we were staying at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel the night before we gained early entry to the park. They call it Happy Entry and you only get in 15 minutes early, but it really does make a difference. You can ensure you get in line for a popular ride before everyone else lines up, or you can take photos in front of the castle with an empty park.

Do not miss the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast attraction, it’s amazing. We also really enjoyed the Micky’s Magical Music World show. Food spots we enjoyed:

Rackety’s Raccoon Saloon – Critter Sundae
Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall

Day 8

We spent the next two days at Tokyo Disney Sea, which is my opinion is the best theme park I have ever visited! It’s visually stunning! We transferred hotels and checked into the MiraCosta, you can see a peek at our patio above.

We were fortunate to ride pretty much all the rides we wanted because we booked and unlimited vacation package, which gave us access to ride tons of the popular rides as much as we wanted. We were also able to book priority passes for three of the popular rides in the new Fantasy Springs section.

Day 9

Disney Sea is such a large and amazing park we knew we wanted a second day there. Since we accomplished most of the rides we wanted yesterday we took this day to really explore the park and ride the few rides that we missed yesterday. We were able to score seating for the musical show Big Band Beat, which we enjoyed.

Probably the highlight of the day was dining at Magellan’s, it’s a fine dining restaurant within Disney Sea, the food is amazing and the atmosphere in the restaurant is stunning. The cool part is we got seated in the “secret room”, you push a button on a book case and a door opens up to the hidden room. It was so cool!

Day 10

We took the Shinkansen to Kyoto. Booking tickets ahead of time is not necessary, but because we were traveling with our luggage we wanted to ensure we had luggage storage seats, so we booked ahead. We all grabbed a Bento Box at the train station before boarding the train. We chose to travel from Shinagawa Station since it’s a little less overwhelming then Tokyo station.

We checked into the DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station, which was a very short walking distance from the station. We dropped off our bags and headed to visit the Fushimi Inari gates in the early evening. You can hike all the way to the top and be rewarded with a great view of Kyoto.

Day 11

First thing in the morning we took the Hozugawa River Boat Ride at 9 am towards Arashiyama. The ride was very scenic and our guides were so much fun! It took us longer than usual because the river was really low (almost 2 hours travel time), but the river was lined with Cherry Blossoms and we even got to see some wildlife.

Once we got to Arashiyama we checked out the following:

Bamboo Forest
Okochi Sanso Garden
Kimono Forest

Day 12

This was probably one of my favorite days! We went to Goin in the am to avoid crowds and then we visited the Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion). The grounds were gorgeous and peaceful. Next we walked the streets to head to the Path of the Philosopher and stopped at a stand that had strawberries covered in a hardened sugar (Tanghulu). They were so good! The strawberries in Japan and so sweet and fresh!

The Path of the Philosopher was a stone path through the northern part of Kyoto’s Higashiyama district. The path follows a canal which was lined by hundreds of blooming cherry trees. The walk was absolutely wonderful, the views were gorgeous and it was very peaceful.

Day 13

We only had a half day in Kyoto before we had to head back to Tokyo due to the fact we were flying out the next day. We spent our morning at the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Temple). Once again the ground were stunning and the golden temple was so pretty, surrounded by water and Japanese trees. We got some ice cream afterwards complete with golden flakes!

We rode the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Shinagawa station and then took the Narita Express to the airport. We caught a shuttle bus to our last hotel stay before we headed home.

Day 14

Our flight wasn’t until the late afternoon, so we took the free hotel shuttle to the Narita Mall, which was actually kind of nice. We flew home in the afternoon. The entire trip was amazing! I love visiting new places, but this was our second trip to Japan and I can’t wait to go back again. I’d love to visit in the fall, since our last 2 trips have been in the spring. I would personally avoid the summer months, the heat in Japan is scorching in the summer and I am a wimp when it comes to heat.

Flights – We flew Premium Economy with Japan Airlines, we booked our flights with Alaska Airlines miles so we only had to pay the fees.

Hotels: (I would recommend them all)

What to Expect at Costco (May 2025)

Christy — Thu, 22 May 2025 00:30:19 +0000

Here is a peek at some of the new items and savings you can find at Costco for May 2025. The new Costco coupon book was released and the coupon savings are valid May 14th through June 8th. Keep in mind that Costco prices may vary a little by region.

Here are a couple of Costco tips for you: If an item ends in 7, it is Costco’s version of a clearance item. Also, if you notice an asterisk in the top right hand corner of the sign with the price, that means it is a seasonal item and will not be stocked again (it may come back next year, but it won’t be restocked after the current supply is depleted).

New Items

Clearly 6-piece Organizer Set is $16.99. It looks This is a nice set of a couple of different sizes.

This Safdie & Co.10-piece Ceramic Food Storage Set is a nice looking set and it’s priced at $29.99.

A new Tupperware set, get a 1 Gal Pitcher and 4 Tumblers for $29.99.

Disneyland Price Increase – Pay 2024 Prices for Travel in 2025

Christy — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:42:09 +0000

Have you heard the news? Disneyland ticket prices – along with Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices – just went up! Generally, ticket prices are raised every year so this is nothing new, but it can still be difficult to keep up with year after year! I do have some good news though! You can still get Disneyland Resort tickets at 2024 prices via Get Away Today through October 21, 2024. These prices will be even better than Black Friday so it’s the absolute best time to book!

You can save up to $125 per ticket with Get Away Today when you purchase by October 21, 2024 at 11:59pm MT. If you book a 2-night stay with at least two tickets and use the code Thriving10 at checkout, you will save an extra $10 off the discounted rates. Every little bit helps when it comes to saving on Disney trips, right?

If you plan on visiting Disneyland Resort this year or next, NOW is the time to book and save yourself some money! You don’t even need to know the exact dates of travel, you’ll just need to enter a general date to purchase your Disneyland Resort tickets. The date that you enter will be the date that Get Away Today will send you reminders to make theme park and dining reservations. The tickets can be used until January 12, 2026. All tickets are sent electronically. Here are the savings you receive when purchasing your Disneyland tickets through Get Away Today. (I highly recommend booking a hotel and ticket package together to save even more.)

5-Day Tickets: Save $56 – $125
4-Day Tickets: Save $29 – $67
3-Day Tickets: Save $30 – $56
2-Day Tickets: Save $22 – $46
