I've long been of the opinion that we'll always be able to find somewhere to stay, so I don't stress about hotel bookings too much. But Hotwire can be excellent for stays, particularly at short notice. It's an "opaque" booking site in that you can book mystery properties for a better price - you get a star rating, amenities and description but often, with a small amount of detective work, you can be pretty sure what you'll get. That was the case with the two Hotwire bookings I made above - technically I didn't know what I was booking but I was 99.9% sure what I'd get, and I was correct. But I do this knowing that if the 0.01% chance happened, we'd take what we were given because, frankly, you have no other choice! But if you're only looking at 4/5* places and know the area you want to stay in, you're very unlikely to be disappointed. I've always thought the same with hire cars too, although the world has changed a little bit there as we all know. |

Sounds brilliant. I am not sure that my OCD could cope with going that loose…. and Mandie is absolutely certain of this fact.

Congratulations on booking your trip, CFB! 👏🏻 I’m happy for you, and no kids- that’s always exciting 😃 I’m glad you saved the best place for last, too 😁👍
Enjoy the rest of your planning!

It may have been ‘the best to last’, Aims… but it was always going to be one of the first on the list… and note that LA isn’t even on the list!
Balboa Park, Midway, Coronado Beach etc top trumped Disney, Universal, Warner’s, 6 Flags and I5 traffic by a country mile! The only possible draw to LA was USS Iowa.

“I5 traffic” 😂 I felt that one in my soul! I was on the I5 last weekend, on a Saturday morning, and it just crawled for a few miles like it was rush hour. No accidents, just because there were too many cars on the road. I don’t blame you for not wanting to spend much of your precious vacation time in traffic.
You have a great itinerary worked out- plenty to see and do without LA. 😊

Excited about Disney

Yes would always check with Andy still over £1000 for 9 days though and he isn't confident that prices will come down. Demand is so high.
