12 days in Southern California
We are planning a trip to Southern California this summer and will be there for 12 days (Wednesday to Monday) with 11 and 3.5 yrs old kids. Day 1-3 are blocked for family get-togethers. Day 4 is open but thinking to keep it relaxed and enjoy the resort (Newport) we will be in. We will checkout and stay for 3 days with a relative who lives closer to Disney.
Day 5 Disney
Day 6 DCA
Day 7 Aquarium of Pacific (planning to stay at a Long beach hotel)
Day 8 Drive down to San Diego, planning to make coastal stops
then rest of the days are spent touring SD (safari, zoo and uss midway) til early flight the following Monday.
Would you sacrifice going to the Aquarium and instead make that another day in Disney? Or would you keep it this itinerary (it is what it is/do what is possible)? It’s our first time.
