We leave for our first DLR/California trip in just about THREE WEEKS! We've been to WDW a couple of times during high season in late June, and with careful planning (knowing which parks to visit on which days, and which rides to head to first) we've been able to have a great time!
Unfortunately, this year has been CRAZY BUSY for me. I'm a full time middle school teacher, going to grad school full time to get my principal's license, and parenting two teenagers! I just have not had the time to make the detailed plan that I'd like to, but after the busy year we've had, I really want this vacation to go well and give us enjoyable time to spend together as a family.
Therefore, I could use your expert DLR advice to put together a day-by-day skeleton plan to get me started. Since it's our first Cali trip, we'd like to do some things outside DL as well, and I need to make reservations for some of those tours. I've been looking at Gray Line and All Anaheim Tours so we don't have to rent a car or drive in the traffic. So, if I give you some details, I'd really love your suggestions on how to map out the days.
Travelers: Me, DD17, DS14
Flying into LAX on May 30 at 9:42 a.m. Have already reserved Disneyland Resort Express to get us to the Disneyland Hotel.
Fly out of LAX on June 6 at 3:17 p.m.
My DD17 has expressed interest in Hollywood/LA and "beaches". I was thinking maybe one day doing this via Gray Line or All Anaheim? Maybe SeaWorld too (never been). I see All Anaheim also has an OC trip and a Warner Bros tour?
I need help knowing which days to do DLR and how many to include, and which days to do tours, and which ones. I keep looking at the MM offerings, AP blackout dates, park hours, etc. and just can't get my head wrapped around it.
Suggestions please!
