I need some opinions about our trip planned for the end of June.
The scenario:
We are a family of 2 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 18 to 3 years old. We are planning on flying to California on Sun.,June 18th and coming home on Fri. June 30. We want to visit San Diego and Anaheim with a beach in there somewhere.
Our Question:
Do we go to San Diego first on Mon-Fri and then travel to Anaheim on Sat. (probably going to the beach that day) and then do Disney Sun-Thurs. or reverse that order? I have been following the Pirates situation and see that it is scheduled to re-open on the 24th. I'm sure the crowds are going to be bigger due to that and also the upcoming July 4th holiday may impact some too. We have been to WDW several times but not to DLR. We aren't afraid of crowds (generally go to WDW in summer) and know how to make use of early entry and fastpass.
We thought that 5 days for DLR was probably going to work out pretty good for us and that saving Disney for last would also be best but if the POC opening is going to seriously clog things up (with the possibility of the movie premiere too!) we might be better off going there first and then San Diego last.
I hate to miss POC since everyone talks about how much better it is at DLR and I also thought that eating at the Blue Bayou would be a neat treat for the kids but I'm not sure if those two things are worth the possible extra hassles.
What does everyone think?
Thanks for the help!
