Disney’s Friendly Next Door Neighbor
(Anaheim, Theme Park City Series 1)
We arrived late at night in Anaheim after a less than an
hour flight from Naga City and a really long nine- hour lay
over in Manila which we spent at the beautiful Midas Hotel,
...and a long haul PAL flight from Manila to LA,
…and about an hour drive from
LAX to Del Sol Inn in
Anaheim.
We were all tired an weary,

It was only in the morning that we got
to have a close look of
del Sol Inn,
…our home for the next four days in Anaheim
for our visit
to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Legoland
to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Legoland
in this three city vacation in California
and Nevada.
I cannot remember how many times I have been to
Anaheim Disneyland
but the last time we were here
was two years ago and we stayed in Disneyland Hotel.
Disneyland Hotel
was a beautiful and we tremendously
enjoyed our stay there but it was pretty expensive,
enjoyed our stay there but it was pretty expensive,
...so this time we decided to stay in budget friendly non-
Disney owned hotel, but located close to the theme park,
so we booked here at Del
Sol Inn, located right across
Disneyland
and Disney’s California Adventure Park.
Del Sol Inn had a simple but airy and tidy lobby,

looking
information about Orange
County and of the nearby
suburbs.
Stay
We stayed on one of their De Luxe Rooms with two queen
sized beds, enough for a family of four to fit in comfortably.

It had a comfortable toilet,

Just like the Disney owned hotels, it had
intricately folded towels and towelettes,

The door opens directly to the corridor,
...that had a view of the swimming pool,
...and of the courtyard parking space.
The room is provided with only one
land line phone one on the bedroom,
It also had a very fast
but free Wi Fi connection.
Stray
The hotel had a hard-to-beat location as the Del
Sol Inn
puts the guests close to all of Anaheim's
attractions.
It is just across on the same street as Disneyland,
and the hotel is minutes away from the front gate.
Other Disney properties are within walking distance,
Play
Del Sol Inn had
a beautiful outdoor heated pool,
…and whirlpool,
…which we did not have time to enjoy as the kids could not resist
the temptation of Disneyland just across the street and the
autumn weather had dropped to less than 4 to 10 degrees
centigrade making it too chilly and not ideal for swimming..

Breakfast Buffet
Del Sol Inn
offers a continental breakfast buffet,
that had a decent spread of various freshly baked
breads, and yummy irresistible bagels and donuts.

There is nothing fancy on the breakfast,

One main reason why we booked in this hotel
is its proximity to Denny’s Restaurant that would
assure us of full hearty meals 24- hours a day.
It is also located near Tony Roma’s,
…the IHOP Restaurant,
...and even Captain Kidd's Buffet.

Del Sol Inn is a wonderful and affordable
hotel for families traveling on a budget.
The rooms are spacious and clean,
…the beds are comfortable.
With a hard-to-beat perfect location,
Del Sol Inn is the best alternative to the
more expensive Disney owned hotels.
It is very close to all of
Anaheim's attractions,
…guests would also appreciate the low rates
and the warm welcome from the friendly staff.
