DH and I are doing the DLR and S Cali ABD in early August. We’re driving the kids up to gma’s house (N of Santa Barbara) first, doing the ABD, and then spending 5 additional nights at DLR with the kids.
One of our kids has a bday during our trip, and he’s also had a rough time with some health issues. He *really* wants to go to Legoland and stay at the Legoland Hotel, so we were looking at staying a couple nights. We’ve never been to Legoland, and I have no idea how long we should spend there. (Kids are 11, 6, 3, 2.) I’ve heard LL is best for younger kids, but DD11 loves legos (and she can suck it up for a couple days).
If one park day at LL is enough, should we look at doing a day at the safari park also? I’ve been to the San Diego Zoo 4 or 5 times (our 3 oldest kids have also been, but prob only DD11 remembers), but never the safari park.
Will LL be “disappointing” after 9 days at DL? Should we look at doing LL (and the safari park) BEFORE Hollywood/ABD/DLR?
Additionally, we prob need to get to the LA area a day or two early for our ABD (plus driving the kids up north). I’ve been to Hollywood and US, but it was a long time ago. If DH has been to either, he has no recollection. We’ve been to US Florida several times, including spending several days spent mostly in the WWoHP in the last year (although we had the kids with us and had to switch off riding rides). I know US Hollywood’s WWoHP is smaller than in FL. Is it still worth DH spending a (childless) day at US? Or should we find things to do in Hollywood (that aren’t covered in the ABD)?
