Anaheim convention center
I'll be at the Anaheim convention center for four days in September, but as I'm taking my wife, we would prefer to stay somewhere nicer, farther away from the Disneyland crowd. If we do this, is the convention center served by any sort of public transportation at all, or would I be relegated to driving every day? Can't seem to find that answer online. Wherever we stay, it will be on Hyatt points.

I don't really see any way around it given our preference not to stay closer in, and my desire not to drive. I saw online that the average for Uber for that drive was around $20-$25. If that holds, it will be worth it. I'm guessing that the convention center would probably charge for parking also, but I haven't looked.

This was spot on. Uber with surge pricing made this a very expensive proposition. Probably will never be here again, but the only reasonable solution is to drive and park at the convention center or one of the surrounding hotels.

Usually if you wait a few minutes the surge pricing ends and goes back to normal. I've never had an issue with this, and have waited at most 15 minutes for the surge to stop.

If you need to be in the DL/convention area every day you really have two viable options, stay nearby, or drive a private car. The other alternatives are expensive (cab/uber) or inconvenient (public bus/Metrolink/ART)
