I’ve totally revamped my hotel reservations today and started to rough out my associated itinerary with the input you all have given me. Much appreciated!
Currently scheduled
Day 1 Drive over from Grand Canyon - Santa Monica Pier and other tourist spots
2 nights Garland (family suite- such a bonus as my kids won’t share a bed and it was hard to find rooms with 3 sleeping surfaces!)
Warner Bros tour/museums tbd probably Petersen Auto as my family are gearheads/touristy spots
Malibu
2 nights Airbnb Newport Beach
If we have touristy stuff still on our list we’ll do that the day we check in here
Relax on the full day we have- I think I would like to visit Laguna also
2 nights GCV 1BR (DVC)
2 days
Disneyland
