I’ve been thinking about doing an overnight stay at one of the LAX hotels on the way back if we went with the plan of Disneyland, Maui, Waikiki, Aulani (the OH’s favourite way of doing it). I think it might work out a bit cheaper to have a return LAX flight too, and on the way back we could get a lunchtime flight HNL to LAX, landing around 8/9pm then check into one of the airport hotels before flying back the next day. There appears to be an in n out burger in walking distance of the LAX hotels

Excited about Disney
|
Following with interest, have been interested in visiting Hawaii for a while.
We did disneyland as part of a California trip a couple of years ago. We had 5 nights and enjoyed doing both parks at a relaxing pace and revisiting our favourite attractions. In and out burger was one of our favourites and my kids still crave one now. Personally I’d stop off at LAX just for one of their burgers 🍔 😉 |

We jumped in a cab and spent the night in Trader Sams 😆
Some of the LAX hotels are in pretty grim areas. Would it be worth heading out to the coast for one night? You could be in a beachside hotel five miles later, and would make for a more pleasant final day before your flight home? Or a hotel in a mall? You can tell I’m not a fan of LAX hotels.

I’m so excited to do Disneyland! I’m looking forward to doing 5 days at a relaxed pace too.

I was thinking about coming back from Hawaii a day early and doing two nights at Venice Beach or Santa Monica? Have you been to either?

Both yes but not to stay. I do completely recommend giving yourself something to look forward to on the way home, and a two night stay would give you that
I’m not particularly recommending the Trader Sams for the night thing, especially the way we did it! Our flight from Maui to LAX got delayed and then the luggage thingys broke (honestly we are cursed with LAX!), then the traffic leaving LAX was gridlocked to the point that what is usually a $60 trip was well over $100. We finally got to our hotel, literally threw our bags in the room and raced to Trader Sams. I think we got there at about 10.45 😂 hence we stayed until they chucked us out! Most expensive night out ever when you factor in the Uber costs...!

Your itinerary sounds lovely but I still feel night or 2 on way home if you don’t want do GC at the end (or could do 3/2 or 2/3)
I think Maui 5 lovely (not stayed but where you said is supposed be lovely) Minimum 5 aulani (won’t want to leave). Cheesecake Factory opened reasonably close now in mall Waikiki 3/4 if do not want do much site seeing and happy to go go go but not much spare time for the beach - pearl harbour? Dukes on Sunday around 4/5pm live music on the patio - lovely vibe. People dancing If want go dukes/their other restaurant sign up and mention honeymoon/birthday if can

Big Island Also known as Hawaii (though no one tends to call it that because people get confused with it being located in the state of Hawaii.
Not stupid, I was being lazy!
