Hi there.
We'll be there May 18- June 2 staying at the Hojo in a kids suite for 6 nights, then in a vacation rental for the remaining 9 nights.
Flying all the way from Australia for our second trip to
Disneyland. I so wish I lived closer and could always say 'If we miss it this time, we can do it next time'. Thats why we're staying so long. Hopefully we won't miss anything!
We will have a 10 day Disney pass, hope to do Universal, Knotts Berry, beach day, Hollywood/LA etc, and whatever else we can fit in.
Last year (well August 2011) we did Disneyland, San Diego (Legoland), Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. My view for anyone who might be interested is that Grand Canyon is not worth making a special trip to, especially with kids. It's a long drive and wonderful to see, but pretty boring after an hour or so. My 8 year old still says how bored he was!!
Legoland might be an ok day trip, but after Disneyland is a real letdown. Our mistake was planning our whole visit to San Diego around Legoland. Maybe if we had just a day trip there it would have been better. Although when you ask the boys (8 and 10 at the time) what they thought of Legoland, they'll still say it was 'Awesome'!
Great to have others to be excited with. Our trips really aren't that far away
