Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

You will have to have a car to get around. Laguna Beach is small enough to walk around in, and there are free shuttles to take you around town, but you will need a car to get to Laguna Beach. The free shuttles will take you almost anywhere you want to go, but watch the color of the shuttle; it designates where it is going to stop.
Best Things Nearby:
This resort is only 1/2 mile from Disneyland. This is the 50th anniversary year, so there's lots to do and see. You can drive to the beach or to nearby cities and go shopping.

Best Things About the Resort:
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got an LA Times at our door every morning. We had a great balcony with a good view and friendly neighbors in adjoining units.

Resort Experience:
We had a hard time finding the resort when we got off the highway. If you pass the Angels stadium, you are going the wrong way. The pool is not real big because of the limited area in the city of Anaheim. There are activities for the whole family and lots of attractions nearby. It was a very nice resort and well furnished.

A great place to eat, right on the cliff over the beach so you can also get a great view. There is outdoor and indoor dining available. Best to make a reservation, especially on the weekends. Wonderful seafood and Mexican food.

We saw so many artists. It was really fun and so interesting. There is a food court with musicians playing and singing for you. We saw some wonderful paintings that were really black-and-white photos painted over with oils, lots of glass artists, and many items for the home.

The Pageant of the Masters tickets are more pricy, about $70.00 per ticket. You will not only see the Pageant, which is amazing, but you will also have the opportunity to see many artists’ work on display.
