Ten Tips for a Great Roadtrip to Disneyland

1. Try to start out the trip with a very looong day in the car. This sets up more time later in the trip for previously unplanned stops (like Fishermans' Wharf for example). But still find time along the way to stop when you come across a giant caveman, or any other giant things you might find.





2. When along the coast in northern California, if the fog ever lifts, go see the lighthouses along the way. If the fog doesn't lift, there's still plenty of scenery to see.


3. When taking pictures and videos of the giant redwoods, make sure you've got a person in the shot for perspective, otherwise you don't get a good idea of how massive these things really are.


4.Push your mirrors in when going through the drive through tree, otherwise your child will talk about how "daddy broke the car". Don't worry if you forget, they put hinges on those things for a reason.



5. Just because you get to San Francisco around noon doesn't mean that fog will have lifted for the day. But don't worry, fog at the Golden Gate bridge doesn't mean you won't be able to see the sea lions at the pier.






Bonus tip: Central California is a great place to charge up your camera batteries, there's nothing worth taking pictures of along I-5 between Sacramento and LA. Oh, and that smell when you get out of the car, it's nothing you stepped in. It's just the thousands of cows. Don't worry, it goes away when you shut the hotel room door.
