I'm trying to convince them that at the age of two, the grandbaby is too young for Disneyland and they should wait to take her in a few years. My daughter-in-law is the only one in the group that hasn't been and she's itching to go, but I think the rest of us would be miserable.. waiting around why she rides rides and hanging onto the 2 year old cause there's only so much she can ride.

I'll be renting a vehicle big enough for 5 adults and a car seat.

I definitely will be doing a couple of days in the SD area the last of the trip.. do the Zoo, the wildlife part, etc. I want to hit Coronado also.

When I took the boys in 1998, we stayed the entire time at the Disneyland Hotel in two adjoining rooms at the end of a hallway... but then we drove down and spent our time driving back up 101.

This time it's flying down and back, renting a car, figuring where to stay, etc. I'm not beyond a decent vacation home rental if there's one in a central location.
