Anaheim is a town with Disneyland in the middle of it. Part of the Monorail track runs alongside one of the main streets of Anaheim.
That's great, makes sense thank you

There’s six flags magic mountain too. That’s absolutely worth a visit if you like thrill rides - about 30 mins drive from Hollywood.

We stayed in the Sheraton next to Universal , there’s also a Hilton hotel next to the Sheraton .

Wasn’t the cheapest hotel but we could walk easily to the park / city walk .

We didn’t bother with express passes , we did all the rides ( some twice ) and got it all done in a day .

Thanks for this, we would love being able to walk to the park so that would suit us well. Are there many places to eat on Citywalk? Considering just using one of these hotels as a base for a good few days and it would be handy to be able to walk to food in the evening if we fancied.

Thats what I am doing in January. I am staying at The Hilton Universal Studios but not going to the park. I am using it as a base to see my friends.

This is the walk from Hilton to Citywalk



This is a walking tour of of the shops and restaurants at Citywalk


Citywalk is basically an outdoor mall, with a mix of shops, restaurants, bars and fast food
