Wow what a full first day! Looking forward to the rest, we want to do California with our children when the youngest is bit older, so I’ll be making notes. The Hilton looks like a fab hotel for Universal

For me, one of the worst bits is picking up the car as it's the one bit you have little control over.

We're doing similar very soon... into LAX and staying at Hilton Universal with Universal view room. Can't wait!

We've also booked a Tahoe (hopefully!) and I was worried about it getting into the car park under the Hilton. We've stayed before (but had a Mustang so no height worries) and remember the car park being quite low. Was the Tahoe a tight squeeze height wise?

See my previous thread .. https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho... php?t=1063745

I was going to do valet parking and let them worry about it but if the Tahoe fits, I'll be self parking!

My daughter will be very excited when I tell her there is a Sephora at City Walk!

Sean
Hi Sean, that's so exciting! No it was fine! There were even bigger trucks than ours down there

Pizza and champers sounds like the perfect first night meal. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to tomorrow xx
Lol so many traffic pics on my camera roll! It's our favourite first night meal! TFR x

Wow! I think that is the most hardcore start to a holiday ever. How your girls kept going after such a long flight I'll never know! Seems you got off pretty light with the notoriously dreadful LA traffic.
Looking forward to reading the rest.

I'm impressed you managed sightseeing after the flight! the view from your hotel looks amazing. The Citywalk in Hollywood is great, we had been there before we went to Florida and felt the Florida one was disappointing in comparison

Wow, I can’t believe you stopped for sightseeing on the way from the airport! That’s hard core :-)

Mate you must have been shattered after that day! Sounds so fun though! I've booked the Hilton for one night when we go, so excited after reading this 🤗
