    Huntington beach is not too far. It's a good, classic California beach city. It's about 30 min from DLR. Nowhere near LA. Universal is the one that requires battling LA traffic.

    When we visited Disneyland, we went to Huntington Beach. It was so much fun! Easy parking, great food locations, and fun waves. We wanted the kids to see the Pacific and it is such a fun memory.

    If it's traffic you're worried about I'd skip Universal, it's traffic all the way. 3 days isn't that long to have in Disneyland Resort and you may want to stay in the area. We always go to Huntington or Newport Beach when time permits.
    I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    leaving for Las Vegas and gonna fly to LA probably on Sat APril 16. just booked Best Western Plus Park Vue for one night. either have to fly back to Philly on Monday late or Tuesday. so debating whether to stay all the nights by DL (ive been checking diff online sites for prices, poss even renting DVC for 2 nights) or stay Monday night by Universal. prob wont get a rental car due to LA traffic. Universal can be done in a day I figure, as i did it before in a day.

    Um, are you aware that Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be grand opening on April 7? Universal is going to be packed for at least a month.

    I think that's a good plan. Universal Hollywood is pretty small and I don't even know how they are planning to handle to masses once that area opens. I know I will be holding off on my own visit for quite awhile.

    Oh yeah. Definitely. Weekends are VERY crowded so it will be hard to dona lot if that's all you've got.

    I've been to CA twice, just to go to Disneyland. Both times I've driven over to the beach, once to Huntington and once to Newport, just to see the sun set on the West Coast. I highly recommend it if you can fit it in to your schedule. The drive is relatively short.
