I had to get our plans off the peice of paper they were scrawled on and actually written out so we can understand them...
This plan will be edited as we get closer to our trip, and also while we are away.
Friday April 11
Fly from Christchurch to Los Angeles via Auckland overnight.
Pick up rental car at LAX, drive to our vacation rental in Anaheim.
Unpack and go to the grocery store to buy some supplies.
Dinner at Downton Disney (or in Disneyland)
Maybe go to Disneyland in the evening.
Saturday April 12
The plan was to use our Magic Morning at Disneyland (this lets us in 1 hour before regular park opening) at 7am, but when Disneyland released their schedule it looks like Magic Morning isn't available that day. But we will still be there for 8am opening.
Spend full day at Disneyland (DL) and Disney California Adventure (DCA), although since DL is open until midnight I don't think we will last ALL day.
Sunday April 13
Spend morning in parks, then outlet shopping in afternoon.
Monday April 14
Spend day in parks.
Dinner at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel.
Tuesday April 15
Head into Los Angeles for the day, go to Hollywood (Hollywood and Highland), have dinner. Dale, Wendy and their kids are going to a basketball game at the Staples Centre, we will head back to Anaheim after dinner, maybe go back to the parks for the fireworks.
Wednesday April 16 - Sunday April 20
Over the next days we will visit both DL, and DCA, do lots of shopping, go to Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios (maybe), Griffith Park and more shopping!
