I just want to go

Today Miranda told me that she’d just like to go to Disney something for her birthday. Sigh. And I find pricing out a trip that far out to be a little dicey on finding deals. I think Disneyland could be a nice entry level experience for us. Maybe 4 days at D’land and California Adventure. And then 3 days in the LA area.

Disneyland has some Jan-Apr deals. And Henry’s birthday is in February. So how about Saturday February 13 to Saturday February 20. And we’ll go as 7 – Rob, the kids, my parents, and me.

depart: Sat, Feb 13 from Milwaukee on Midwest Airlines
YX751 09:25am Milwaukee, WI (MKE) 11:44am Los Angeles, CA (LAX)

arrive: Sat, Feb 20 from Los Angeles on Midwest Airlines
YX752 12:24pm Los Angeles, CA (LAX) 06:05pm Milwaukee, WI (MKE)

Total Per Passenger $217.70
Number of Passengers 7
Total Fare Amount $1523.90

And now hotels:

We’ll start at Disneyland. Do a 4 day Park Hopper. Stay at Good Neighbor hotel, all in 1 room, I hope.

Best Western Raffles Arriving on 2/13/2010 for 3 nights; 4 Adults and 2 Children (ages 8, 6) 1 infant
Room Type: Family Suite
Package: Good Neighbor Hotel package
Tickets: 4 Day Park Hopper® souvenir ticket
Dining: Premium Character Dining
Special Features: Character Calls, Mickey’s Toontown Morning Madness
Anaheim Resort Transit Family Pass
$2,086.00

That just doesn’t seem like a really good deal. The deal below doesn’t include the character breakfast, which was <$200. If I book the hotel and tickets separately,  we’d need 2 rooms here.

Best Western Stovall’s Inn 1110 W Katella Avenue US Anaheim, California, 92802-2805
Feb 13 – Feb 16
2 Queen Beds, No Smoking, Wireless High-Speed Internet Access, Microwave And Refrigerator, Coffee Maker, Hairdryer, Iron And Ironing Board, Continental Breakfast
$336.60 x2 = $673.20
Complimentary Breakfast, outdoor pools
And then we’d buy Park Hopper 4 day bonus tickets $966
= $1639.20

Both hotels are close to Disney. I think the cheaper hotel is actually closer. So we’d go with the 2 rooms.

And then we’d see more of LA. I considered a Hollywood hotel, but feels lost as to what one to pick. But I think seeing the ocean would be nice.

Best Western Sunrise Hotel at Redondo Beach Marina

For a grand total of
$1523.90 + $1639.20 + $1398.40 = $4561.50
