Flight
Flying into DFW will certainly give you more flight options but it is much further away. Again, the metroplex is BIG. Rideshare options will be expensive so renting a car for the weekend might be the more economical option.
Flight
Dallas Love Field is much more conveniently located to all the festivities. If you fly into Love Field, you likely won't need a rental car. However, it is run almost entirely by Southwest Airlines with some Delta so your flight options will be more limited.
Hotel
The Hilton Anatole is where we started our tradition of a 4th of July Stay-cation. This is a resort style hotel with bars, restaurants, and water park with both kid-friendly and adults-only areas. Book a room from our block by calling the reservations desk and asking for the Kornegay-Gilliam Wedding Party. $150 per night + $20 Resort fee per reservation
Hotel
The Statler is another hotel we have stayed at for our annual Stay-cation. Perks of The Statler? Centrally located, multiple dining options, two rooftop pools. Oh, and it is directly behind the party venue-- walking (or dare we say, stumbling?) distance. It is on the pricier side but worth it.
