Hello,
WDW native here going to Disneyland this summer. We have the Grand California booked for June 3-9. I was taking of shaving off a day and spending more time in San Diego. I have some questions about hotels and transportation. Here is my itinerary:
June 3 - travel day
June 4- Disneyland
June 5 - Disneyland
June 6 - Disneyland
June 7 - beach day (Newport, Huntington or Laguna)
June 8 - travel day (maybe go to Legoland on the way down?)
June 9 - Sea World
June 10 - Sand Diego Zoo
June 11 - fly out of San Diego
Airports:
I will be buying airfare likely when it come out next week.
- would it be better to fly nonstop into LAX or a nonstop route into orange county. It would cost likely $60 more per person to fly into Orange county but I have two kids ages 7 and 10 and DH says Orange county airport is much easier to get around.
- Flying out of San Diego seems to be about the same price as Orange county airport
California City pass:
We are getting the Southern California City Pass and adding on the zoo. Is this the best way to go? We do have AAA. Are there black out dates?
- is Legoland worth stopping by for a few hours on the way down to San Diego?
Transportation:
We are terrified of driving and have heard bad things. Thinking of renting a car from Downtown Disney on June 8 and driving to the beach and San Diego the next day. The resorts charge for parking and so do the theme parks. Would it be better to get a taxi?
Sand Diego Resorts:
The resorts I am looking into are near Sea World at Mission Bay: Hyatt, Hilton, Best Western and Wyndham.... does anyone have any recommendations about this? Do you have any other recommendations to make?
Thanks!
