Hotels in Anaheim

Less than thirty miles southeast of Los Angeles, Anaheim is located in Orange Country, California. It is the tenth largest city in California with a population of just over three hundred thousand.

The task of finding hotels in Anaheim California does not have to be hard. With some preparation and planning, you will be able to find suitable accommodations.

Anaheim also hosts a major theme park complex in Disneyland Resort. Disneyland Resort includes a Disneyland Park, A Disney’s California Adventure Park, and a Downtown Disney. Disney’s California Park, as the name suggests, is a California-themed Disney attraction that was designed like a living California postcard. The park contains miniature replicas of many prominent California attractions, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Disney’s California Adventure is the “adult” component of Disneyland: the rides here are scarier, the shows are more adult-oriented, there are many more restaurants and alcohol is available. Downtown Disney, on the other hand, is an outdoor dining, shopping, and entertainment area in a more garden-like setting.

You Can Find Your Favorite Cartoon Characters in Southern California

Recently I’ve had the chance to visit some of the great theme parks in Southern California. Between them all, you can immerse yourself in the world of a bunch of your favorite TV and movie characters.

We know where to find Mickey Mouse and all his Disney friends—in Anaheim. If you’d like some good information about planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort, check out the SoCal Vacation Guru. Disney has no-doubt done the most effective job of bringing imaginary characters to life, much to the delight of us all.

A few miles down the road at Knott’s Berry Farm you’ll find all the Peanuts gang at Camp Snoopy. Knott’s has done a nice job of absorbing Charlie Brown, his faithful pet and their friends into their culture. Do they still have the Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America in Minnesota?

Hit Universal Studios Hollywood and you can find Spiderman, Betty Boop, the Flintstones, Woody Woodpecker and a squadron of other beloved Universal characters; Universal has been at the heart of many television shows as well as famous movies. You can find some good details about Universal Studios Hollywood at the SoCal Vacation Guru.

Before leaving Universal I have four words for you: Homer Simpson. Yes, The Simpsons have been immortalized in their own attraction at this great theme park. That includes Krusty the clown and many other residents of Springfield.

Lastly, we drive up north a ways and stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain. According to the SoCal Vacation Guru, this park is best known for its roller coasters and other thrill rides. But skulking around the place are the nutty characters of Warner Brothers cartoons, notably the Loony Toons guys.

Porky is there, along with Daffy, Yosemite Sam, Tweety and the others. Beep Beep! There’s a nice area for small children; the park management has figured out that not everyone is a teen-age or twenty-something thrill ride fanatic. The characters are very charming and are pretty easy to find around the mountain. This joint may be my favorite.
