We are doing Westjet Vacations in Feb. Kids fly way cheaper than booking a regular seat. We have also rented condos on Walnut St when we drove down too. You can Google various ones. One we used is called Funtierland.

When it comes to booking trips like these I always find using an agent is best. They know how to mix and match different offers to make it good. Where as trying to do it online you may miss what some places offer.
My agent knew that if I booked with Alaska then booked hotel with them I would get a free night then because I stayed at that hotel I got discounts on park passes. Something I wouldn't of known

Check park hours. I went once and there was the Halloween thing going on most of October....Get a hotel within walking distance so you can take the kid home for a rest a couple times throughout the day.

California was a zoo. Never go back. Lego land was a blast and the crowds doable. Rented a house and flew down to la and rented a car. Liked cooking and having a pool in our backyard. The kids got tired of rides and lines and wanted to stay at the pool. 7 and 10

Costco in the states has annual passes on for $330. Might be worth looking into.
I've rented the same house through flip key twice.
It worked great for us. You can PM me for more info.
I've also had good luck staying at the Hyatt Orange County . Nice place, family suites and a good shuttle system

We took a hotel close by to be able to go there on foot and took the shuttle from LAX, if you can land in Anaheim, way better! On our last day we rented a car and went to Universal Studios, if you're into Harry Potter, they have a sweet ride down there!

Orange County airport is also close. Supposedly, at 3 people you break even. (Rental car verses shuttle) We were 5 so rented car although other than stopping on way from airport to buy snacks for park) we didn't drive car. Good idea thou if going to Universal.

Planning a Disneyland Trip

If you are considering a Disneyland trip with 2 adults and one child, it's important to plan ahead to make the most of your visit. Here are some tips to help you plan your trip:

Accommodation:

If there may be two more adults joining your group, renting a house could be a great option. This will give you more space and flexibility during your stay. Look for accommodations near Disneyland to save time on transportation.

Tickets and FastPass:

Make sure to purchase your Disneyland tickets in advance to avoid long lines at the entrance. Consider getting FastPasses for popular rides to skip the queues and make the most of your time in the park.

Itinerary:

Create a rough itinerary for your trip, including which attractions you want to visit, shows you want to see, and dining reservations you want to make. This will help you make the most of your time in the park and avoid missing out on any must-see experiences.

Packing:

Don't forget to pack essentials such as sunscreen, comfortable shoes, snacks, and water bottles. Consider bringing a stroller for your child if needed, as Disneyland involves a lot of walking.

Budget:

Set a budget for your trip and stick to it. Consider the cost of tickets, accommodation, food, souvenirs, and transportation. Look for deals and discounts to save money where possible.

Final Thoughts:

Planning a Disneyland trip can be overwhelming, but with proper preparation and organization, you can have a magical experience with your family. Don't forget to relax and enjoy the moment!

We hope these tips help you plan your Disneyland trip successfully. Have a great time at the happiest place on earth!
