Hi everyone, I am looking at taking my son (currently 6.5 years old) to Disneyland, San Francisco and possibly WDW next summer - a 3 week blow-out, making up for not being able to get to the US for the last couple of years, not being able to take him to any Disney Park yet since he was born and a general need for a trip to my happy place!
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to do Disneyland, where to stay (ideally a Disney Resort), ticket options. Also advice on how to get between places, I had a quick look and it appears flying is the best option within CA and FL to/from CA.
My brother lives near SF and so we can stay with him there.
I am a DVC member but I doubt I'd be able to book anywhere at DL (I own at SSR) so I would probably see what I can get at WDW for the time frame.
Also any general advice for travelling solo with an 8 year old, he's pretty good now for car journeys as long as he has something to watch/do.
Any must-do's (it's my first time at DL so pretty much everything is a must for me!) for both of us.
Last summer we were able to do a DCL staycation cruise out of Southampton (wish they were doing them again this year as it was awesome!) which he loved, mainly the pool - so thinking we should plan some pool days/half days.
