We did this trip last October, spent a week at GCH in Disneyland then went up to Sequoia. We left DL in the afternoon after lunch. I don't recall hitting much traffic at all. It was a week day. And spent the night in Tulare at a Best Western, restocked supplies. Got up really early in the morning and then went into Sequoia and spent 3 nights at Wuksachi. It takes a long time to get from the entrance to the hotel. So be prepared. I wouldn't really want to drive that at night so make sure you get there in the daylight. It was breath taking when you drive in. The 3 of us were screaming with excitement in the car at all the trees. Being from Hawaii, we've never seen anything like it. They just kept getting bigger and bigger. It was amazing. Plus it is a winding road, so be careful. The way we did it was perfect. We hit a couple of the parts on the way to the hotel so we wouldn't have to backtrack to much. Let me know if you want any more info. It was so fun. Now for food in Sequoia, It is really limited. So take plenty at water, snacks and drinks. I saw lots of families with coolers of sandwich things and such. Would totally do that next time. It seemed like we never really had a good meal there at all, except for breakfast at the hotel.
