DL Family trip July 24-Aug 1 - need help planning

[Kauinohea]

Hooray!
We will arrive in SNA at 8:59 AM on Friday, July 24 and leave on Saturday, Aug 1 3:00PM SNA. We are staying at HOJO kids suite.

We have an 8 day hopper and will also be going to Sea World and Lego Land.
We are thinking of going to Sea World on Sunday, July 26 but am not sure which day we should forego DL and go to Lego Land. If it were up to me, I would skip Lego Land...but DH and kids want to go! Any suggestions? We would also like to do Fantasmic priority seating...we're thinking of doing that on Saturday, July 25.

Thinking of doing Goofy brunch first thing on Friday 11:30 or 12:00 since we'll probably be starving or will that be too much of a rush....should we save that for Saturday and just do a grab and go snack at DL?

Any planning suggestions are appreciated. I'm just so excited to be close enough to start planning.

We do not do the character meals or LegoLand, so can't help there. Sea World will be a blast.

I have compiled some ideas about summer visits you may find useful. Here is a link: "Getting The Most Out of a Summer Visit To DLR" www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1345319

Have a great trip!

We will be at the Hojo that time as well. We did Legoland last year, It is great to see, but we will not be going back again..The rides are way to short for the amount of time you wait in line for them..

Sea world is great, we try and always go to Sea world on the weekend and save DL for the weekdays....

Goofy's kitchen is one of our kids favorites for the character dining at DL this year we have opted out of that one and we are going to try the new character dining option with Woody and Jessie from Toy Story..

Have fun planning!

Iagree about the short rides and long lines in Legoland. I know that my then 1 1/2 year old will not have anything to do and end up fussy! We'll have to make the best of it

We have Sea World (via greyline) scheduled for Sunday. Which non Majic Morning weekday is best to skip DLand go to lego Land?

We're thinking of doing the BBQ also.The reviews look fun!

Im not sure how much an 8 day parkhopper is but you should get a deluxe AP pass $269.00 to get discounts on food.

You only need 1 in your party to get the discounts
