Frommer's calls Los Angeles the most fun city in the US! Los Angeles & Disneyland are Top US Destinations...and this trip is in our Top 10 Family Summer Trips! So pack up the car (including lots of beach gear) and head south for the summer. The entire family will enjoy exploring places like the Magic Castle, the Santa Monica Pier, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, & Disneyland, not to mention at least 3 beaches!
