HI - freaking out a little bit. We're WDW "regulars" - made yearly trips for a week every year the last 7 years.
We just booked a last minute trip to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. We typically plan for things like this well in advance. This summer was a bit different, my dad was very sick and we lost him on July 4th. With all of that uncertainty we didn't want to book anything. Now that we're adjusting, the wife and I and the kids need to get away.
We were trying to do a beach house somewhere, but couldn't find ANYTHING.
This trip has always been a bucket list type thing, so we pulled the trigger.
Soooooooooooooo, we're going to be in LA for four days. We are staying at the Hilton Anaheim. Its my wife and I and our four kids, 11, 9, 7, 7. Boy, girl, boy, girl. We were able to book a 2 BR room at the hilton and seemed close to the parks / DD.
What do we do? We have a park hopper ticket for Tuesday August 3rd. Just checked dining and looks like everything is booked. We're thinking we will do the morning in Disneyland and try to check out California Adventure in the afternoon. I know 1 day is not enough to do everything.
What are wait times like? What are the must dos?
How is downtown disney? Anyone have any experience with the walk from Hilton Anaheim? We have 2 other full days in LA, so we were thinking we could explore for the day and head back to the hotel and walk to downtown disney at night for dinner, drinks, relaxing.
My heart rate is pretty elevated right now. Usually I plan for WDW trips 9 months in advance. Right now we are 1 week out from disneyland.
