Welp, here we are…..again…..planning our first family trip to CA. Last attenmpt was 2019, and we all know what happened next.

I have never been to the west coast, so we are going to have to do a few tourist things before DL.

Its a short trip, but here is the plan. Suggested changes and comments are welcome and encouraged.

August 2022

Saturday : Arrive LAX , hopefully by 2pm. We rented a place in BelAir (3pm). We figure to goto Rodeo , maybe look at a few houses or neighborhoods near there and the Hills. Then dinner somewhere in that area, at a nice resturant? (Suggestions?)

Sunday: Drive to El Matador for a morning dip in the Pacific.

See the Pacific coast Highway, stop in Malibu for lunch.

Drive back perhaps stopping in Santa Monica Peir for some quck pictures and a short walk in the area.

Early Dinner?(Suggestions) Then drive to Griffith Park Observatory, weather permitting for sunset and night LA photos. (alternative weather plans?)

Monday: Check out.
Goto Petersons Auto Museum (2hrs), Maybe then the Tar Pits? We then travel to Anahiem for DL! Checking at 3pm. (is that a good AM timing before the drive?)

Eat at Lamplight lounge early dinner 4-5pm?
If WOC is up and going attenpt a viewing and or Goto Carsland at night to see the neons and ride RSR.

Tuesday: DL rope drop…..all day at DL. Sit down Lunch break 1-2 Trader Sams? See Blue Bayou/Fantastic (dinner package?) and fireworks, GE nightime till close (Oga’s)

Wed: All day DCA. Sit down dinner? Italian? WOC again? Other Shows?

Thursday: Back at DL, Rope Drop GE for morning tour. Savi’s workshop. Big Lunch?
Tour, End with Main Street Electrical Parade and Fireworks. Close the park.

Friday: Drive from Anaheim back to LAX for late morning early evening flight.

Be sad it all over…..

What say you Disboards?
Feel free to add suggestions to any day!!
 
Looks good! Right across the street from the Petersen Museum is the new Academy of Motion Pictures Museum: awesome!
