Currently planning a 12-day, 11-night trip down PCH. We're starting in San Fran, making our way down, then Anaheim, LA, and finishing in San Diego.
Currently, I have four days set aside for Anaheim/LA: 2 days at Disneyland; 2 days in Los Angeles — tentatively planning to stay in Anaheim. We're going to be going hotel to hotel up until this point, so my thinking was "let's stay somewhere for four nights".
I'm told this is a mistake, and believe it given the traffic.
So here's the thing...
I'd like to go to Disneyland December 28th and 29th. Having gone to DW for Xmas and NYE so many times in the past, I know how crowded it could be for NYE. Then on the 30th and 31st, we'll do LA.
We would like to do the following:
- Warner Bros Studio tour
- Santa Monica
- Griffith Observatory
- Coffee at Ace Hotel (recommended from friend)
- Touristy food spots: Pink's, the Donut spot
- Tacos at Giusado's (recommendation from friend)
Based on this... should we do 2 days in LA, then 2 days in Anaheim? I don't see us spending a ton of time at the beach, but wouldn't mind being near it, if that helps. We're from NY and totally lost as to what areas are safe, etc. Homeless people don't bother me (I work in NYC), but traveling with both my mom and sister, I'd prefer to stay in a safe area.
