I posted this on the Disneyland boards, but wanted opinions from those that have never been to DL. I am in San Diego for work am I am thinking about driving to Disneyland for dinner. I have never been to DL and feel like I am so close, so why not? (I would leave in about 15 minutes :goodvibes)

Hi - We were just in San Diego in June! I love it there (we live in NJ).

Check the traffic report if you can first. We didn't go to DL (just to Legoland)... but I think it is about 90 mins. w/o traffic? I would only go if you had a specific place in mind.

This may not be what you want to hear, but I think I would pass unless you could spend the whole day there (assuming you are going up just for a few hours...). There are a GAZILLION cool places to eat in San Diego - I highly recommend Old Town for Mexican!

Have fun whatever you do :goodvibes

Eat at Downtown Disney or the Disneyland Hotel so you won't have to by a ticket.

:goodvibes YES I DID :goodvibes
I dorve up I-5 and there was no traffic :banana: It was a beautiful drive along the coast line with the sun setting :car:

I went to downtown Disney (which is all I planned to do). Got some Christmas shopping done and even found the little stuffed Stitch that DD and I searched WDW for in August and couldn't find. I also bought 2 of the holiday vinlymations that just came out. We started collecting these last WDW trip and love them :lovestruc I'll let DD open them when I get home. I had dinner at the bar at ESPN Zone and drove back. I was back at my hotel in San Diego by 11:30pm. It was great :)

Well, I can no longer say that I have never been to DL :rolleyes:

:thumbsup2 So glad you did it!



We went on a cruise back in March and I had several flight layover choices on the way home. I intentionally picked the one that had us in Orlando for a less than about 2 hours. I left the "secure area" with nothing but my tix, id and credit card and did a power shop at the Disney Earport store! Came back through security with several bags of gifts and things I just had to have!!! Made it back just as they started boarding us--threw my stuff in my carry on that I had kept empty on purpose. I think I bought more at the Disney store in 30 minutes than I did on our entire 7 day cruise!

The things that we will do to get our Disney fix!

Have fun and don't second guess yourself if there is something you want to do. I wish that I had left earlier, but I spent an hour asking myself should I?/shouldn't I? Like PP said - GO FOR IT! I'm glad I did :goodvibes
