Let me introduce myself, long time Dis lurker, sometime poster, 40 something mom of 1. I love Disney, cows, Penn State, and my Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I don't like my picture on the internet or taking pictures in general so this trip report will be more on facts than photos (but I will try to get some photos for you all). I decided to write this because there really aren't a lot of trip reports on Cali places other than DL on the Dis. I did really use the posts pinned under the DL boards and thank you to everyone who replied to my questions in earlier posts.
Our trip took place the first week of November 2022. Traveling from PA with me was DH (not a Disney fan) and DD12 (as big a fan as me and maybe then some) below is our pre trip report.
Pre Trip Report
Day 1 Arrive – Eta into Fresno is 4pm. Planning on driving to Visalia to our Air Bnb and grabbing quick Mexican to each there and relax in the hot tub. DD has requested mini golf or another activity.
Day 2 – Sequoia national Park
Day 3 – Drive to LA in the morning, looking to arrive at the Griffiths Observatory by noon. Picnic here and then check out the Observatory. Drive to GCH. Maybe grab supper on the way or at DTD, hotel is GCH
Day 4 – DCA/DL day
Day 5 – check out of GCH and head to the Peterson Car Museum and La Brea withafternoon time at the beach (probably Venice or Santa Monica). Checking into a hotel in old Town Pasadena for the remainder of the trip. Made a change here because the logistics for driving across LA twice seemed like a bad idea. Splurged on an ocean front room in Santa Monica. So we will be heading to La Brea and the Petersen (docent tour at 3) and then driving to Santa Monica to relax in our ocean front room and explore there.
Day 6 – WB Studios morning Heritage Square Museum in the afternoon. Red eye back to the east coast. Kept the hotel room for the night though so we would have somewhere to shower and change before our flight.
