Trip Notes
San Diego & Disneyland are Top US Destinations AND in the Top 10 of Summer Family Trips, so you get to hit two in one trip!
Put your museums & other "culture" activities first in the day... with the promise that the Zoo or Seaworld will be next! The kids will be fresh & on their best behavior! |

Day 1
Balboa Park: No visit to San Diego would be complete without a trip to Balboa Park. Home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, the park is much more than a beautiful place to see exotic animals. Gardens and grounds in Balboa Park were established as a city park for the people in 1868. In preparation for hosting the Panama-California Exposition of 1915, a celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal, founding fathers, architects and master gardeners collaborated to create the fine Spanish Colonial Revival-style buildings and gardens that still grace the grounds today. Additional buildings were raised on the site in the early 1930s, this time incorporating the look and feel of the Mayan civilization and California's early indigenous peoples. Within the confines of the park, visitors can enjoy scores of museums and art galleries including the Museum of Man, San Diego Museum of Art, Timken Museum of Art and Spreckel's Organ Pavilion

Day 4
If you live more than 3 hours drive home from the Disneyland Resorts, then best to book another room for the night & head home the next day. That way you can truly enjoy Disneyland and spend all your energy there, knowing you've got a place to relax & sleep nearby.
And if you DO decide to spend the night, have a hearty lunch at Tortilla Joe's before heading home.
