Tom Simpson and the Raiders of the Lost Blog

Yes, the annual Simpson trip to Disneyland (at least it seems almost annual!) is coming up. Chris and I are very excited!

I just wanted to pass along a Simpson family secret. If you stay at the Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites, it’s only $59 a night for a room with two queen beds, and it’s directly across from the main entrance to Disneyland (check out this panorama of the hotel to see the main entrance, which is at the traffic light). No shuttle to the park, just a half block to the light then cross the street! It doesn’t show up on Expedia or other travel sites, so just book directly at the hotel. They also have park hopper passes. We’re getting a $99 3 day pass that includes a free bonus 4th day, cheaper than the $129 4 day pass, plus it’s a park hopper so you can do the two good rides at California Adventure then go back to the good park.

Ah, sweet Disneyland!
