Hey!
I’m planning a trip to DLR in May. From the start I was always trying to find a way to go to USH. The logistics of moving between Anaheim & Los Angeles along with the high prices of LA hotels made the idea unfeasible.
However, USH announced Universal FanFest Nights yesterday. This event will last from 7pm - 2am. It’s only like $80 a ticket! Also, it looks AMAZING!
Here’s my dilemma / “idea”…
Instead of staying in Anaheim on Saturday and then leaving from SNA airport Sunday morning I go to USH on Saturday. (I get a “free” regular admission ticket to USH for being a Universal Visa card member.) I’ll still have to buy a FanFest ticket - no big deal
I can sleep-in and wake up at my own pace Saturday, go to LA and arrive at USH around Noon or so. Then go to USF all day & night until the event is over at 2am. There are multiple flights out of LAX at 5am - 6am or so. I don’t need a place to sleep. I do need to find a place that will let me do an early check-in - if possible. While I could wait until mid-afternoon to arrive, getting to be at USH early in the day until late night is what makes this trip appealing.
I’m not concerned about the long day. I’ve done 15 - 18 hours at WDW multiple times in the last few months with no issues
My dilemma is I’ll need someplace to leave my luggage the whole day.
I’m looking at the very cheap hotels in the area, not to sleep, but to be a luggage storage room. I’d drop my bag off in the hotel room, go to USH until 2am, pick-up my bag and head directly to LAX.
Sadly, there are no “luggage lockers” at UHS or in the area where I can store the large bag(s).
However, some of these cheap places look to be in areas that I’m not sure I want to be in at 2am- 3am!! Either that or they look to be more like hostels or Airbnb’s “disguised” as a hotel on Expedia.
Any “name brand” hotel is $300 - $400 for the night
Anyone have suggestions about what to do with my bag(s) or know of a decent hotel/motel close to USH that isn’t too “sketchy” looking or priced too high!
