Disneyland/LA - Advice please!

[boomba]

We are going for nearly 4 weeks LA, Orlando and NYC.
Thetrip is costing us $18,000 and then $5000 spending money roughly. It's much cheaper in feb.
in that price is all accommodation flights transfers and entry to Disneyland 3 day unversal studios in La legoland, the zoo, Disney world 5 day pass, unversal Orlando 3 day pass. Oh and car hire
thats for 2 adults and 2 kids :-)

the kids and the big kids can't wait! Like divvy said its a once in a lifetime trip so you can't scrimp lol

Thanks so much for the info guys!

We won't be going for a few years yet, most likely when the boys are 8 and 5, possibly even older. I'd like them to be able to remember it! Think I better start putting some money aside now!

[boomba]

I was worried about them remembering it too but they will cause we will have lots of photos :-)

if you really want to do it save now :-) x

awesome Ang I really how you get to go :-) we are only doing one day at legoland. I was told it has heaps of big kid rides so we have little ones so that why we are o ladling one day:-) and I think it maybe be closed for certain days in the slow times?

Sorry - meant to say that the last time I was there was mid to end of January and the weather in southern California is fantastic - I might have just been really lucky but generally a smidge warmer than a Perth winter. Obviously if you go to Big Bear that's a different story, but I remember the day I went to Disneyland I was in a tshirt, and only went back to get a jacket around dinner time. Great weather to be doing heaps of walking around, but not getting too hot doing it.

Thanks for all the awesome ideas guys. Keep them coming

Divvy and Boomba both your trips sound amazing, I really hope that we will be able to do this. We are just awaiting confirmation from DH's work that he will be able to get the time off.

We are lucky cause it seems to be that prices for some things are a bit cheaper at that time of year.

Divvy - I see you are doing 2 days at Legoland -we had only allowed for 1- had you been recommended 2?

Lulu - Thanks for the tip on big Bear Lake, like you said Perth doesn't exactly have an abundance of snow. Like you I think the kids may be a bit young for Knotts Berry Farm and I figure we can't do everything.

Cassius- love the idea about staying in Santa Monica

Booma - will look at Howard Johnson Plaza, thanks for that tip.

Now to keep researching and looking and crossing my fingers!
