Hello everyone! My name is Marci and I used to be on the forums all the time (mostly the podcast and WDW forums) but it's been many, many years since I've posted! I have continued to listen to the podcast though and now I need some help! I'm planning on going to the SoCal area in October of this year with my husband to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. I want to make this a super special trip because this is our first big vacation we've been able to do since having kids (which we love)... and having some time alone just the two of us is such a rare thing for us! Our kids are 6 and 2 and autistic and we just have a lot going on.. so this trip is much needed!
Here are things we want to do:
Husband: Go to a museum, go to a beach, go to Venice beach. (he's not a big Disney fan like me)
Me: Go to Disneyland, hike to the Hollywood sign, go to Venice beach, go to lunch or just have drinks at Chateau Marmont, go to a raw/vegan restaurant, and visit Largo (the music/comedy venue - I believe it's in West Hollywood maybe?)
I also would really love to plan a dinner at Napa Rose for our anniversary as well.
We think we will have about 5 days in the LA area. Does that sound like enough? Should I push for 6? (I'd have to ok it with our babysitters. Oh, btw, we live in Upstate NY).
Where should we look at for a hotel? Is there anything central to all that? My husband really would rather just check into one hotel and not have to change. What about bed and breakfasts? We will be renting a car.
i'm super stoked about this trip! I went to DLR once in 2009 but haven't been back since. Husband says I can have ONE (ONE?!?) day at DLR but I'm going to see if I can push it to two.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am also listening to the DL Dis Podcast to get some more info.
Thanks so much! Is there anything else in SoCAl that we just can't miss?
