DBF has been talking about next year's big trip being to the Southwest to do Arches and Grand Canyon, since our trip this October will be our last to WDW until the new Fantasyland is completely finished. We are thinking we can make it a bit longer of a vacation (10-12 days) and see Denver, Arches, Grand Canyon, Vegas and Disneyland.
This is my outline so far. We live out on the east coast. I've never been to any of these places, but DBF has been to the southwest although it's probably been 20 years since he went.
-Fly into Denver, get a rental car. We will spend about 2 days here.
-Drive from Denver to Arches National Park. About a 6 hour drive. Spend 1-2 days here.
-Drive from Arches to Grand Canyon. 6 hour drive. Spend 1-2 Days here
-Drive from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas. 2 hour drive. Spend only 1 night. Gambling is dangerous for our personalities! LOL!
-Drive from Las Vegas to Anaheim. 4 hour drive. Spend 3 days here. Do Hollywood/LA things for 1 day and 1 day at Disneyland and 1 day at California Adventure. Return rental car in LA and fly home out of LAX.
How does this trip sound to you? We are going to take about 10-12 days to do the trip. Has anybody done a similar little road trip like this before?
