Hello, Layla!
Welcome to planDisney. I'm so glad you're coming to the
Disneyland Resort this February! The weather is extraordinary at this time of yEAR!
I have a few personal experiences to share that may be useful in your case, Layla. Sometimes I also book late flights out of Santa Ana or Los Angeles to have extra time at the Disneyland Resort. I did this today (can you believe it?), so let me share my experience with you.
My husband and I frequently visit from San Francisco, and we often take late flights on Monday nights to save money and to ensure that we can enjoy our Sundays (and sundaes!) at the parks. When we do that, we usually book our hotels until
Tuesday to leave our luggage in the room and shower before going to the airport on Monday night. I love these little splurges because they give us a lot of peace of mind and a calm place to work from on Monday before it's time to fly.
I hope you won't work in Anaheim like I sometimes do, but this strategy could
work for you on your last day. Instead of booking a room until your last day, consider adding an extra night so that you can leave your luggage and shower before going to the airport.
You could even plan to shower at the fabulous
Tenaya Stone Spa after a relaxing massage so that you can have a calm, comfortable flight. How does that sound?
I'd also add that some
Good Neighbor Hotels around the Disneyland Resort will hold your luggage with their bell services teams until it's time for you to go to the airport. It's a great option to free you from hauling luggage around, and I think the best way to plan your last day is to call your hotel and check if they offer this kind of service.
Please let us know if this helps you end your trip on a high note, dear Layla! We'll be here ready to help if you need anything else.
May the magic be with you,
Julie
