How many days will allow us to do Disney to death ( bearing in mind we are going to WDW in August for 3 weeks and intend to spend every day in a Disney park on what will be our 10th visit)? DH is very much into the history and likes to take everything in without racing across the parks from one attraction to another so I would want to allocate sufficient days to do this comfortably.
I'm assuming it is best to stay as close to Disney as possible within our budget and then to move on to somewhere else for the rest of the trip. I have heard LA is not so great but having never been before I would like to see some of the iconic sights.
Some guidance on how I should plan my trip and what to do would be gratefully received as I'm feeling out of my depth.
Many thanks

Hay!
DL is great but tbh you dont need long at the parks. We spent 4 days in Anaheim and that was enough for us. You can find good deals on hotels that do a bus to and from the parks aswell

We headed to Six Flags aswell when we were staying there as well as Universal.
The universal studios in Hollywood is AMAZING. So much better than the Orlando one.
You can do some tours of the actual film lots as well in LA.
But you're correct, LA isnt exactly the most fun place to go.
If you can san fran is amazing, aswell as las vegas
