Seattle to DL road trip

[HHMcG]

I am here planning my own little west coast road trip as an east-coaster so thought I'd add my 2 cents.

When I read that you are planning 7 days I started to panic. We are doing San Fran to Disneyland and taking 10 days. (See attached map of our route.) We will spend a good amount of time hiking at each location, so I guess if you just want to just see each location and not do too much it could be doable. As others have mentioned, in California you can either do the National Parks/mountains or the coast or add alot of time to do both.

We have previously done a trip including Washington (have not been to Oregon YET). We did Olympic NP and Mount Rainer NP (then headed east to Idaho and Montana). From Seattle those National Parks are in opposite directions. Again doing both would add a lot of time. That portion of our trip took 6 days/5 nights.

With 6 days from Seatle to Disneyland, I would pick 2-3 priorities and map a route. Then look adn see what interesting sights are along that route that you can add in.

Thank you so much. For this trip, we are hoping to do the coast. Your route looks fantastic for another trip! We are planning to take two weeks off and just do our best. We need to pick our favorites and plan from there. We haven’t done a big road trip since driving Boston to Disney World. That was more of a drive though. We did have all 3 kids and my mother.

Just checking... your pin is in Long Beach, not Disneyland. Are you staying in LB and driving to DLR?

No, staying at Pixar Place.
Not sure what I typed into Google Maps to put it there.

Do stop in Bandon Oregon for a night, and eat the delicious crab cakes at Tony's Crab Shack on the wharf.

On you leg out to the east from the bay, if you're interested in a "roadside burger" dining experience, try Hula's in Escalon. I prefer it but the kids prefer the in-n-out in Manteca when we're headed up 108/120.
