Thank you so much. We are thinking of flying into Long Beach and shuttling to Disneyland. I was wondering if we should go to Universal first and spend one night there or just use the DL area as our base. Can we do Universal in one day? Hoping not to rent a car as I hear traffic is horrible.

We would love to go to the beach or the sailboat to Catalina. Do you have any suggestions as to which would be better or should we do both?

Are the hotels like the Fairfield across from DL nice? I always stay on property at WDW but I have read that there isn't nearly the advantage to staying on property at DL. It also seems like they do not have many room discounts there. I am guessing they don't have offer many since there are only 3 DL hotels.

We are trying to squeeze as much as possible into 7 days so I am looking for tips and any advice. Thank you in advance for answering my post
