My inlaws are giving us a week in a timeshare for Christmas. (As long as they can find one to trade into.) We would love to be real close to Disneyland for our whole trip, but MIL heard that the two choices nearby are almost impossble to trade into, especially since we are not very flexible in our dates.
Has anyone every stayed at the San Clemente Inn or San Clemente Cove? RCI (who they trade through) does not have much for photos or reviews. Another option would be the Capistrano Surfside Inn in Capsitrano Beach.
We would stay at a hotel across from Disneyland for 5 - 7 days after our week in the timeshare, but we would like to go to Disneyland 1 or 2 days while in the timeshare. How bad would the drive be? Getting up early would not be a problem since we are coming from MN and the kids will probably take a while to adjust to the time change and not get up at dawn. LOL We might go to Legoland while at the timeshare. How long would the drive be from San Clemente to Legoland?
I know the location is not ideal for a Disneyland trip, but $ isn't available to pay for the whole time ourselves. If we have the right attitude we can make this work, can't we? I don't want to be disappointed, but it is either this or not go. We will be getting 7 or 8 day tickets. (yes we want to go this many days ) I had been planning to spread out our Disney days a bit more than this arrangement will allow. But I do have family we will be spending 2-3 days with and will now arrange that and the Legoland day for our timeshare week.
Any advice for when staying far from Disneyland? Any reviews on these timeshares? Thanks much!
