Special weekend hotel advice

Hi guys.... I am an Anaheim local, and am planning to spend a couple of nights in a hotel by the disneyland area. .. it%26#39;s for may 29th to june 1st, and i say it is special because I will see IRON MAIDEN !! that weekend, on the 31st to be exact. I am debating on which of the following hotels I should stay in, because i want to surprise my girlfriend also, who is coming with me... advise please..

- Doubletree guest suites

- Marriott residence inn garden grove

- disneyland hotel

- grand californian

- embassy suites south

also, is concierge floor at the disney hotels worth it? Thank you, and have a great one!!

Special weekend hotel advice

I think it depends on your girlfriend%26#39;s tastes. There are only two among the ones you listed that I would choose, if this is a romantic type weekend. They would be the two Disney hotels. The Grand Californian if she would enjoy a mountain lodge type hotel and the Disneyland Hotel if she has a fun personality. I like the looks of the pool at the Disneyland Hotel at night. If she is really into Disney stuff, the Disneyland Hotel would be nice. The Grand Californian seems to have more of a sophiscated ambiance. Of course, staying at either one of these hotels means you could always go over to the other one easily for a while.

We loved our stay at the Grand Californian, it is really a majestic hotel, we dined at the Napa Rose this past December for our anniversary dinner, it was fantastic! There is also a wonderful pool area there, the Storyteller%26#39;s Cafe for breakfast, a spacious lobby and it opens right out to Downtown Disney with all the cool shops. I vote for the Grand! :)

HI guys... I have made my decision. After much reading on here and other sites about the hotels, and realizing my focus for our trip is for Iron Maiden and not necessarily Disney and also considering my budget ( tax checks upcoming or not. ..), i have decided to stay at the residence inn garden grove through a package by getaway today. 3 nights, two park hopper tickets, one character dining experience, and i guess lots of new things to look forward to in that weekend, what with Iron Maiden being the focal point and all. .. Thanks for the feedback so far. I got a few more questions, though, now that I have booked this package:

- has anyone been to the Goofy%26#39;s Kitchen for dinner, and can you please share your experiences there?

- IS there anything i should know or look out for in regards to the residence inn? i never stayed at a marriott before, and i just signed up to their rewards program (and hilton%26#39;s too. .. guess i%26#39;ll be travelling around my hometown a lot *lol*). please do share any relevant tips for that. ..

- and lastly, this is not totally related to hotels and tourism, but for the concert iteself: any tips you guys can give to a couple of heavy metal concert novices would be appreciated. . :)

Thank you once again, and as always, Trip Advisor rocks!!
