Hey guys, I hope this isn't something that comes up all the time but here goes!
We're based in the UK and know WDW like the back of our hands, but we haven't done DLR....yet. Being from the UK we'd be looking to do a longer trip in Fall 2023, and as well as doing Disney, I guess see what the LA area has to offer (all the tourist stuff I guess, Hollywood, Santa Monica etc).
Flights from our local airport get us as far as Vegas, so we kind of had this vague plan of doing a few nights there, hire a car, drive to DLR and spend 3/4 full days doing the parks (would that be enough time?) before then spending another 3 or 4 days looking round other parts of LA.
So I guess my main question is, would a DLR resort (not Disney owned, but in the area) be OK to base ourselves for things outside of Anaheim? I plan on keeping the car and can see that most things are going to be like an hours drive away, but I guess I am not too bothered by that, I drive a lot for work. To me it seems easier to just stay in Anaheim rather than stay in a 3rd different hotel. Or am I crazy for thinking that and we'd be better moving to a more centrally located hotel once we're done with Disney?
