    Going there in summer with family.Rang up Tour America but they had no tickets for Disney in LA. Anyone know would it be cheaper to get tickets over there or in Dublin before we go over?Anyone know of any other places to ring to inquire about prices

    Also anyone have any first hand experience of being there.The Do's & Donts of being in Disney and California with a couple of kids. Thinking of booking a hotel inside Disney world itself but prices on there website are mad for hotel for 3/4days+3/4day pass for Disney.Brother in law will be off work for a few days but not for our whole duration which in total will be 3weeks. What it like to drive over there? Brother inlaw drives over there but i think he is a crap driver and he thinks its ok. :D

    Going to be staying with brother inlaw for week or so then try and stay in Disney for 3/4nights. Brother inlaw is as good as tits on a bull about organising anything his end.So i want to get it sorted soon.

    thanks

    Why bother booking I've been there a few times and never needed to book unless your going on one of the American holidays there's no need to book

    As far as I know price concessions are only available to local residents in Orange county of if you know someone in the military, possibly travel agents may have some deals but the more days your there the cheaper the ticket gets.

    Disney is a brillant place for kids and its geared up towards kids aswell as adults but be prepared for long quques and waiting times for rides, there's loads of picnic parks so bring a packed lunch as eating there can be more expensive. Get there early and enjoy the whole day but check park opening times because there shorter in low season, don't worry about the weather too much its California!

    Last time I stayed right opposite the park entrance in a motel and it was very reasonable priced and just 2 minutes from the park and we could got back there to get something to eat when we wanted during the day.

    Driving in America is easier then overhere everything is signposted and the freeway system is very easy to follow but L.A. can be daunting for a first time driver in America(Don't get into the wrong area's at night)

    California is a great part of the world and you'll really enjoy it use the web for research but don't be afraid to ring up hotels and ask them about there location.

    Other places which are a much is Universal studios and San Diego

    One other tip, Make sure its Disneyland not Disneyworld(Thats in Florida :D )

    I went a few years ago to LA and went to Disneyland. We got a 5 day flexi pass from a travel agent friend over there. The park opens at 8 or 8.30 every morning. Holders of a flexi pass can enter the park earlier than normal ticket holders on one morning only. You're allowed enter at 7. We got up mega early and had a great time. It wasn't hot out yet and we didn't have to queue up for an hour like normal, in fact most of the rides we got straight on in either one or two goes

    Don't worry about the driving. Everywhere is signposted and the drivers are all courteous. Just make sure you come off at the right exit because if you miss it the next one may be a good view miles away.....

    If you're driving, take the I5 heading south and take the exit for Harbor Blvd, just keep drivin straight and Disneyland is on Harbor Blvd
