We are planning our 1st southern California trip with kids. Our kids will be 14, 12, and 10 at the time of travel with our 12 year old daughter having Down syndrome. She will require a medical stroller for long distances. Here is my tentative itinerary. Please let me know if you think this is do-able or too much for our family. Anything that you would change?
Sat: arrive (long flight from NC). Head to Santa Monica Pier in afternoon/evening
Sun: LA sights - maybe Hollywood Blvd, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Griffith Observatory, a studio tour
Mon: go to a beach or something else in LA in the morning. Then drive to Anaheim. Check into hotel. Hit Downtown Disney for dinner.
Tue: Disneyland
Wed: Disney California Adventure
Thur: Drive to San Diego
Fri: San Diego Zoo, La Jolla in the evening
Sat: Sea World or San Diego exploring
Sun: fly home
One thing that we haven't decided is whether to fly in or out of LAX or SAN. The price is comparable; however, we need to fly out of the same city that we fly into because the rental care rates pretty much doubles if we return it at a different city. Would you fly into LAX and go from there? That would require driving back to LAX on Sat evening or Sun morning. Or would you fly into SAN and drive up to LA the 1st day to start our trip?
