Suggest a trip! Disney, universal, or something else

[liamthompson]

Background - cancelled a universal orlando trip due to sickness and now we have flight credit, a universal AP, and a disney bounceback stay to move around. Suggestions on what to do please, even the wild ones!

We are currently booked for 2 park days/3 nights at disneyland in July. I could extend this to 3 park days/4 nights but would have to break up the flights. I currently have flight credit for Delta. DL is booked with Breeze. To extend a day, I would have to book Delta there and Breeze coming home and then book a second trip using the remaining Delta/Breeze credits. The 3 cities that I can fly non-stop for both Delta/Breeze are Orlando, Tampa, and Los Angeles. None of us are keen on driving in any of the cities.

If I keep the disneyland trip as-is and only have the delta flight credit to figure out, I am open to flying any hub city (ex. atlanta, boston, etc) as long as it is feasible to get around without a rental car.

Here are some parameters:
-- Time off is my limiting factor. I want to spend a max of 5 days between now and August. DL is booked over the holiday weekend so current plan is only spending 2 vacation days.

-- I want to use the flight credit before August. We can travel now until the second half of May and the month of August. I thought about re-booking universal trip for a few weeks from now but our AP has us blocked out for spring break but we can go in early May.

-- Travel party is myself, husband, and 4yo. This will be his first time on a plane and I think he will be OK but not traveling with my giant cooler of snacks is making me nervous haha.

I made an earlier post about doing a quick weekend trip for MNSSHP in August but decided it wasn't a good fit for our family yet. I haven't entirely given up on doing a weekend WDW August trip but do feel somewhat silly about it since we will have just come back from DL.

I haven't seen the other thread but I went to MNSSHP with my 3 yo and 6yo last Aug and it was so so much fun. And the rest of our trip was in the pool or water park which was also a lot of fun

Ok saw your other thread. My kids werent interested in the shows or parades so we just did rides (all basically walk on) and trick or treating. I loved all the vibes and all the people dressing up and just going on rides with like no wait not worrying about my phone.

I also did an afternoon nap and they lasted until the end

Skip to the end to the MNSSHP part.

I don’t mind the layovers if it’s cheaper… if you get a long one you can definitely take in the airport in greater detail… as in dine in a table service restaurant or chill out in a lounge like the Sky Club if you have the status.
