As for outlets, plan to spend at least a day in any of these malls. We went to a total of 3 outlets and yet only cover a few shops in 2 of them. Vegas outlet mall is the smallest among the 3 we went hence managed to Cover more shops.

It depends on whether you like shopping. I spent exactly 1 hr at one of the outlet malls, and some of that was a rest stop on a long drive! My family doesn't enjoy shopping so we don't factor in malls etc when we travel.

IMHO, Road trips and National Parks is one of the best ways to experience USA. I did it with my then 4 & 6 year-old. Took them out from pre-school for a trip in September.


Cheers.

We did visit and stayed over at Yosemite ....beautiful!

Lovely πŸ™‚

Hi drickymummy,

Tat's a good tip u gave! Is CA Disneyland fast pass any similar to HK one? HK just scan tix & they give you a time slot to q at their fast pass. We will self drive ard too & am looking forward to their outlet malls, Walmart & more supermarkets! SO much things to buy... heehee

Hi slmkhoo,
U r so lucky! My hb is hopeless when comes to theme park so I will do up the itinery & plan strategy.

Btw, what is your fav & popular rides I should attack? Anyone try their breakfast with Disney characters? :scratchhead:
Cat_tail, when u gg? I was there last nov during thanksgiving.. Was there during th black Friday sales..but yet didn't shop during that sale much.. We bought most the thursday of thanksgiving cos we were at Vegas then. We did drove to Desert Hills on e way to LA but the place was packed to the brim n no way to buy anything in the cold and packed place with a tired 10 yr old and 7 mth old. Anyway the different was abt 10 % or so from the amt I paid for the day before.
Not sure abt fast pass in HK cos was there many yrs ago.. We did scan the tix at Anaheim and was given a time slot. 3 days also not enough ... We love disneyland. We did not get to try on many of the rides but good enuf.
We love target n toy r us the most. Walmart is not that great ... The products they have r not as good as target. As for outlets, plan to spend at least a day in any of these malls. We went to a total of 3 outlets and yet only cover a few shops in 2 of them. Vegas outlet mall is the smallest among the 3 we went hence managed to Cover more shops.
Not something we will buy on a trip but gnc there is like 1/3-1/4 of prices here! And so are many supplements and medicine like fever med that has grape favor! We brought some back as my doc suggested that I buy some.

This depends on the age of your kids and your individual interests. Read the website descriptions for an idea of what would interest your kids.

Disneyland gives out fast pass for popular rides at certain timing at certain spots only once or twice a day. U missed it that's it.. Check with the counters in e morning before u go into the parks.

That's not how I remember it, but I was there in 2010. Maybe things have changed. Best to read the website and get the latest info.

U missed it that’s it… Check with the counters in e morning before u go into the parks. Older kids can go in as single riders for some rides to save time …my 10 yrs old went in for some of the rides by himself cos I have to take care of baby and daddy is tired to play anymore. We just wait for him at the exit point aft we see him going in the queue.


We chose the self drive for all out holidays. Flexible that way and can cover more places like the supermarkets, mega stores like toy r us anytime we want as they are everywhere along the ways or near our hotels. I love Any local supermarkets and even my older one enjoys the supermarkets a lot whenever we travel anywhere!

Hi slmkhoo,

Thanks for your contributions! U r so thoughtful, must consider & plan a break in between theme park.
What a great saving to take their day tour. However I don't think we have so much time and with my super troublesome 2 young fellows, I doubt they can survive with such a long day tour. So probably looking at those heli that can setoff straight from LV which is supposedly 3 hrs or so. But most company quoted ard 400-500 pax... really must choose wisely.
It's really a waste of money to go to a theme park when tired. And with young kids, once they get tired, they also get cranky! If you can, try to plan ahead what are the most crucial things to see, if there are specific times for shows etc, and prioritise! There are usually more things to see than there is time. Also explore ways to minimise queuing time - eg. Disneyland has a way to 'book' a time slot for the most popular rides etc. My husband is great for such things, so he would figure out a plan beforehand - like planning an army exercise!

Hi all,

Nice to see this topic as my family will be planning a trip to western part of US this coming Dec. Will be covering LA, LV & San Diego. Kids are young so we will be attacking children friendly parks like Disneyland, Legoland (staying min 2 nites at their newly open Legoland hotel), Seaworld & San diego Zoo. Think we will skip Universal since we had enuff of the one in Sg. Wonder izzit too much.......

Anyway we are quite keen of trying out the helicopter rides from LV to grand Canyon too. However, their prices are really exotic so would appreciate someone can share their experience. Any inputs on other destinations or activities we should consider oso welcome. :please:

Theme parks are tiring (for adults and kids) so you may want to schedule more restful days in between. I went with my fairly big kids (10 and 12yo) in 2011. We did a 30 min helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon partly to save money and also because one daughter was a bit nervous and we thought 30 mins was all she could take! We booked a one-day coach tour from LV which brought us to the helipad, then later brought us to the Grand Canyon. It was a very long day (pickup at 6.30am and return around 10pm) so it may not be suitable for smaller kids, but it was cheaper than flying from LV.

Hi All,


Wanna revive this thread a little. I'm intending to bring my DD who will be 2yo to the States for a family vacation this Oct. Am thinking to visit LA, then LV. Would like some advise on the places to visit since the little one will only be 2YO in Oct. πŸ™‚

Thanks all in advance for inputs. πŸ™‚
:thankyou:
I just brought my 10 yr old and my baby who was 7mth old then last dec to LA, LV and SF.

San Francisco - Napa Valley. Drop by at one of the wineries for a nice outdoor picnic style lunch with food from the deli mart at the winery. The habour cruise is great too.

Yosemite national park- along the way from SF to LV. Beautiful Sceneries... We stayed at a big beautiful lodge with indoor heated pool just outside the national park.

LV - cannot remember if 2 yr old can take the helicopter cos my older boy went with hubby for the ride at Grand Canyon n they loved it while I just walked around the viewing points with baby. LV is the usual stuff with the fountain shows n night view along the strip which we only managed to do a drive thru.. No time and too tired from day time activities.. Shd have stayed at least 4 nights. We did only 3 nights ..

LA- only enjoyed Disneyland the most. We loved disneyland! rides r just right for my 10 yr old to go as single rider for most and most rides allowed baby to go on them.. they have the best nursery room too! buy the 3 day pass and dun stay too far cos parking not worth it, we stayed at hotel opp the park. Most impt is the photo pass which is the most worth it thing which we discovered late only on last day there! unlike all amusement parks which sells u the photos taken by their photographers pcs by pcs. disneyland gives u a photopass which u can take as many pics thruout your stay there and purchase all soft copies in a cd for only usd 65! we bought the pass that covers Seaworld at san diego which we did not go at all and universal studio which was terribly boring Even for my 10 yr old. The place was soooo quiet unlike USS. Only good thing is no queues for ride like transformer 3d and many other rides lor. Downtown nothing much for adults and worst still for 2 yrs old except the take the pic at the boulevard lor.

If can include San Diego which my friend did for Legoland and sea world. We did not have enough time otherwise would have done that. Shd be more fun than wasting time at downtown LA and downtown San Francisco too with a young child.

Wish we can make a trip back there again soon....

For LA, there are Disneyland, Universal Studios which are popular for families.

For LV, at nightime, there is 'Fountains of Bellagio' at Bellagio Hotel, Fremont Street Experience, Volcano eruption at Mirage. Just check the timings, normally starts at 7pm. & it's free.

Or visit the Hotels along the Strip, either daytime or evening, as every hotel has a theme, such as Treasure Island, Venetian etc.

I saw there is a Leid Discovery Museum suitable for toddler and up, you may google for more details. Or to M&M's world, I am sure kids will be happy to see so many colourful candies chocolates.

You may check out http://www.vegas.com to get more info on LV.

Hope it helps.

hi Busymom


I have done both Paris - Lyon - Annecy - Geneva - Zurich and vice versa

Chamonix is on a short detour from Annecy and is on the way from Annecy / Geneva to Italy (Milan)

If you fly in from Zurich, you can still fly out from Paris without sacrificing your Paris shopping, but minus the time-wasting back-tracking of a holiday. Open-jaw ticketing does not cost more
Open-jaw? I ithought they do cost more (on SQ at least)?

That's quite a lot of driving, right? Don't' think DH wants to spend so much time on the road. 😐 But your suggestion of not missing Paris shopping is good... πŸ˜‰
verykiasu2010:
Both Zurich and Paris are served by SQ Airbus 380 (now think twice after Qantas scare, haha, or would be much safer than before)
hmm... I may even have to take a Qantas A380 soon, if it is not grounded by that time... πŸ™
verykiasu2010:
For official snow activities with the local ski schools / resorts, it only opens from 4 Dec in Swiss and from 16 Dec in France....but there are other activities with snow before 16 Dec, eg huskies ride. Chamonix is where Mont Blanc is (French) and on the Swiss side is the Zermatt...., and Les 7 Laux Prapoutel near Chambery in France is cheap and good too....short drive from Geneva or Lyon or Annecy
Yes, Mont Blanc, was planning to see that from Aiguille du Midi. Will take note of these places if we don't go this time.

Hi Busymom,

Indeed I haven't been a frequent visitor of KSP a lot lately as I'm too busy farming (on Farmville and Farm Story :oops: ). How have you been btw? Your DD doing well in JXC?
Farming... hmm... I think my kids are playing that, but I haven't tried yet 😞

Yes, DD is doing well in JXC. It is a bit slow-moving for her, but her teacher is allowing her to go at a faster pace than the rest of the class. I'm happy for that, although ultimately, I'm not sure what good that will be as she would have to finish the course at the same time as the rest anyway. :roll:
minnie2004:
Back to your holiday plans. I think if you're not skiing, it's better to visit Chamonix in the June school holiday as it won't be freezing cold and the kids still get to see the snow on the mountain. Also, the luge d'ete will be open in summer and i think the kids will find it more fun. If you guys are really keen to see snow and experience a snowy winter, then Japan maybe an easier option at this age.
I agree with you there, that June school holiday for this place probably makes more sense. Hence am currently looking at other alternatives. πŸ˜‰ As for Japan, that was DH's original idea, but we have gone to Japan quite a few times already, including Hokkaido. Not to mention that the exchange rate now is really not attractive.

When I was there 9 years ago, I flew from London to Nimes in the south of France on Ryanair (i booked online and only paid like GBP40 for taxes!). Then went to Avignon and Annecy on TGV. Charmonix was a day trip from Annecy. The mountain train was slow but quite interesting and an experience itself. Finally to Paris from Annecy. It was a great trip and the best thing was Euro was like 90cents vs USD back then πŸ˜„
Oh yes, Euro was really at the lowest... but too bad didn't do much shopping at that time when I was in Paris πŸ˜› Thanks for sharing. If I go there next year, will look into these places and DS will love the train ride!

Busymom:

Would anyone have any advice for me, is NY or some French alps like Chamonix more suitable for pre-schoolers? We are planning to go in early Dec and hoping to see some snow.


Are you planning to take the kids for skiing in Chamonix? If you're traveling from Lyon, you may want to visit Annecy on the way, which is a very pretty lake town with mainly local tourists. I was there during summer almost 10 years ago and used it as a base to go to Chamonix. Had a great time riding a bike along the lake :love:

Hi minnie2004

Haven't \"spoken\" to you for quite a while. No, we are not skiing, planning to wait another year as DS is still young. One of our friends' kid at 3+ was not able to handle the lesson well; don't want to make the same mistake and one of us ends up baby sitting DS. πŸ˜‰

We haven't really done our research yet, so thanks a lot for your suggestion. If you have any itinerary, please share with me too. My friend suggested Chamonix as an alternative to NY or Switzerland/Sweden (my original idea). He also strongly recommended Villard le Lans which is not too far from Chamonix. Have you been to this place before?

Of course, another way is to follow verykiasu2010's suggestion by flying to Zurich and make the way to Chamonix from there. But Paris is probably very pretty during that time with Christmas decoration and not to mention, I can do a bit of shopping too :rubhands:
