Hello,
We were planning a May 2021 trip to SoCal (pre-pandemic) and I got some amazing info on here (thanks!). We are now looking at 2022 - our daughter will be 5.
In the previous postings I learned about all the amazing things to do in SoCal and now that I am actively planning (because I need something to look forward too!) I'm wondering what others have done so I can make some decisions. We can probably go for 12 nights, including travel days (we are coming from Toronto).
As I understand, the 3 "areas" people tend to pair with Disneyland are Hollywood, OC beaches and/or San Diego. I'd love to do them all but that feels like to much. Ideally we'd like 4-5 days in Disney and would like to go to Universal (although if folks think the Florida one is better we can just hold off until we go back).
For context - we just went to WDW in January for our daughters 3rd bday. She did 7 days of parks and didn't even use her stroller. Flight didn't bother her but it was only 2.5 hours (whereas this would be 6, I think?). We are pretty active people who like getting out and doing things - so we'd want other activities nearby aside from a beach.
I also want to consider what fits best in keeping a lower budget - as we have 3 large trips in mind between 2022-2025.
TIA!
