We are regular winter visitors to DisneyWorld. This year we decided to skip our Disney trip and head to Cali to visit my sister/BIL and newborn niece - they live in Gilroy.
But, we are beginning to regret that decision because the kids keep talking about a Disney Christmas surprise... and honestly, DH and I would really like to go to Disney, too. So, I was thinking about making our Cali trip a bit longer and driving down to DL for a couple of days.
I found flights into LA that are $500 cheaper than our planned flights into San Jose, so that makes some financial sense. And we'll be renting a car either way.
But, I'm wondering if it's worth all the travel. We'll likely fly into LA, drive directly to Gilroy (5 hour drive). Spend a week with my sister. Then drive back to LA and spend three days at Disney, before flying out of LA.
I've been to Southern Cali several times. But, I've never been to Northern Cali and I'm wondering if I'll regret wasting the opportunity to explore all it has to offer just to get my Disney fix... any insight would be appreciated.
