When I planned my trip I read people's Disneyland trip reports here on the dis, it helped with the lay of the land and gave me some opinions on like/dislikes. The podcast really helped too!
Yep that's the one.Well if Pete can't make it for some reason, put me down as the understudy, though there is that whole wife thing to deal with. I'm not sure if the fact that you know her makes that better or worse.
We stayed at the Fairfield Inn when we were there assuming it's the one on Harbor Blvd. directly across from property. We loved it. It was super convenient, about a 8-10 minute walk to the front gate, and we could watch fireworks from our room.
Eating offsite is very easy and safe (not sure about late at night but certainly for breakfast, lunch, or dinner). There are numerous choices along Harbor Blvd. which is especially easy if that's where you happen to be staying anyway.
I've never been one for reading trip reports, but I may just give it a go and see what I learn!When I planned my trip I read people's Disneyland trip reports here on the dis, it helped with the lay of the land and gave me some opinions on like/dislikes. The podcast really helped too!

A friend said he and his wife stayed there and it was super easy. I believe there are a couple in that strip, so interested in which is the better choice.
It's also right on garden walk or whatever it's called right? That's where there are some places to eat and a McDonald's etc?

I think it's sometimes overpriced for what really is a glorified motel. JMHO
I was surprised Fairfield rented by the hour.
Welcome to California!
Catching up on the thread, but jumping in to say Fairfield is a great brand.? Plus, free breakfast if you feel like it.1. Do you think she'll buy that I need a translator?
2. I sleep on the right side, so you get the left.
3. I'll probs eat onsite a lot given that I will be alone and from what I understand, the area may not be the best for a solo female to wander around at night?
4. Packing will be easy, shorts and singlet tops
5. I'm looking at the Fairfield inn by Marriott, but need flights first I think

Surprised, 'cause I'm staying in 1 next week, and they do, as does Residence Inn and TownPlace Suites (all, and Fairfield, are Marriott brands). Maybe it goes by location?Fairfield Inn doesn't offer free breakfast.

Virtually every Fairfield Inn in the country offers free breakfast - except that one. There may be a few others but that's the only one I've ever encountered personally and we've stayed at a lot of Fairfields.Could be, but the Fairfield Inn by Disneyland hasn't offered breakfast for several years, if ever. I can't remember if they did prior to 2009.
i thought I'd start my research here with all of you trusty podcast fans as my guides for a solo Disneyland trip!
Where should I begin my research?
I haven't listened to a huge amount of the Disneyland podcast due mostly to the fact that I hadn't planned on going there with my trips being to WDW (sorry @ImTooExcitedToSleep and @WebmasterMaryJo ), so where should I start listening from?
I'm pretty well set on which hotel to stay at, so at least that's a start.
I'll sign up for the DLR touring plans at some point, and will obviously have a read of the Disneyland boards here, but I feel like that's starting at the middle.
Also, tips on solo traveling! The solo boards here seem like a community forum, but will have to dig into them a bit further.
Any hints or tips would be great!! Thanks!
