Last-Minute Hotel Deals in Disneyland and Anaheim

Anaheim Regional Transportation's buses stopped running on March 31, 2026, so the walk up Harbor Boulevard from your hotel matters more than it used to. The Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area charges $32 a night plus tax to park, and the Disneyland Hotel lists parking without a price.

Convention weeks on Katella, and Disney's holiday season

Visit Anaheim has 142 conventions and meetings booked into the city for 2026, nearly 600,000 hotel room nights between them, and the big shows keep office hours. The NAMM Show holds the Anaheim Convention Center from Tuesday, January 26 to Saturday, January 30, 2027, with its exhibit floor open the last three days. Natural Products Expo West runs Tuesday, March 2 to Friday, March 5, and is gone before the weekend. We found no occupancy figures by weekday, so we can't tell you what a Saturday gives back. In a show week, price the Tuesday against the Sunday before you settle on either.

Halloween Time at Disneyland runs to Saturday, October 31. Holidays at the Disneyland Resort opens November 13 and lasts until January 6, 2027. The two gaps are where we'd price first: November 1 to 12, and January 7 until NAMM arrives on the 26th. That's our reading of the calendar, not a published figure. Visit Anaheim sells the city as year-round, and it counted a record 26.5 million visitors in 2025. Disney's 2026 calendar ran Lunar New Year at California Adventure from January 23 to February 22 and Food & Wine from March 6 to April 27. We found no 2027 dates for either yet.

Parking is $32 a night plus tax at the Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area, or $50 for an RV. The Disneyland Hotel says valet and self-parking are available and prints no price. Great Wolf Lodge says only that parking isn't in the room rate. ART's buses stopped on March 31, 2026, and its site names nothing to replace them. Garden Grove announced a shuttle for ten of its hotels at a small fee per guest, but we couldn't confirm it ever started. Disney's by-train page still sends rail riders to ART Routes 14 and 15 at ARTIC. Take OCTA Route 50 to Katella and Harbor instead, about three blocks from the resort and free with an Amtrak ticket or a Metrolink paper ticket.

Disneyland and Anaheim deal questions

Is there a shuttle from Anaheim hotels to Disneyland?

Not the old one. Anaheim Regional Transportation (ART), whose Routes 14 and 15 ran from the ARTIC train station to the resort, ended all service on March 31, 2026, and its site names no replacement. Garden Grove announced its own shuttle on March 13 for ten hotels in its tourism district, Hyatt Regency Orange County and Great Wolf Lodge among them, on three routes for a small per-guest fee. It published no fare or hours, and we couldn't confirm it launched, so ask the front desk before you count on it.

How much is parking at hotels near Disneyland?

The Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area publishes $32 a night plus tax for a car and $50 for an RV. The Disneyland Hotel says valet and self-parking are available but prints no price, and Great Wolf Lodge says only that parking isn't included in the room rate. Anywhere else, ask for the nightly parking rate when you book.

When are Disneyland-area hotels cheapest?

Our guess is early November and mid-January. Halloween Time ends October 31 and the holiday season doesn't start until November 13. After it ends on January 6, 2027, the NAMM Show doesn't open at the Convention Center until January 26. That's a reading of the calendar, not published occupancy, so compare a few dates before you book.

How do I get from the Anaheim train station to Disneyland?

OCTA Route 50 from ARTIC to the Katella-Harbor Blvd. stop, then about three blocks on foot along Harbor Boulevard. The transfer is free with an Amtrak ticket or a Metrolink paper ticket, and Disney puts the bus trip at about 30 minutes. Disney's by-train page also lists ART Routes 14 and 15, which stopped running on March 31, 2026.

Which airport should I fly into for Disneyland?

John Wayne (SNA), about 15 miles away, is the one Disney calls closest, and OCTA buses run from it. By Disney's own figures Long Beach is nearer, at about 13 miles. LAX is about 40 miles out, so a cheaper fare there comes with a 40-mile ride. Ontario and Burbank are 34 and 42.
