First, a take on correct terminology: "JustWondering" was correct that it's "Disneyland", not "Disney World" (which is in Florida). Then she goes on to mistakenly call "California Adventure" "America Adventure".

I don't know when you are going, but you should go to Disneyland Resort, and go on a weekday. Disneyland is always most crowded on the weekends, and one of the most popular destinations in SoCal. The other posters are correct in saying you will spend 2 hours each way driving to Sea World in San Diego, which makes for a very long day, and takes away a lot of the enjoyment.

Sounds like you have a plan.

Allow me to suggest a few places to eat:

In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone.
Pinkâ€™s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. Might see a celebrity.
Tommyâ€™s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. Original location at Beverly & Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown.
Canterâ€™s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly & Melrose. Near CBS, might spot a celebrity.
Phillippeâ€™s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station, Olvera Street. Watch the mustard, itâ€™s hot.

Ditto to what "Chloe", and "Zef" said. You would spend half your day just driving to and from Sea World. If you want to see fish you can see them at "Aquarium of the Pacific" in Long Beach.

It is Disney Land not world.....and is something that should be done in more than one day I believe, with the second park America adventures....so do Sea World it is a one day park. have fun.

You wont have enough time for Disneyland in just a day... If the day you want to go has extended trading hours.... (sometimes its open til like midnight).... then go and spend the WHOLE day there otherwise I might goto Sea World.... except you would have to go all the way into SD.... maybe you could goto Knotts Berry Farm which isnt far from Disneyland......

I would hit Disney if there are children involved. I lived in L.A. from 2000-2001 in Palos Verdes & Torrance area. Get down to Long Beach and see the Queen Mary if you can. While in South Bay the DE AMO Shopping mall is a must. My favorite haunt was old Hollywood. It was in such a sorry state when I left, I hear there has been much urban renewal but It is still nothing like the gem it was in the 30's & 40's back in Los Angeles's golden age.

Based on your itinerary you are staying in the Los Angeles area. From downtown to Sea World, which is in San Diego, is about 120 miles. Given traffic, this could take two to four hours to drive.

Disneyland is in Anaheim, California. Disneyland is about 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Given traffic, it would take you 30 to 60 minutes to get there.

Based on driving time, Disneyland is a better choice.

If driving time is not an issue, then what are you more interested in, rides or sea animals? If rides, go to Disneyland. If sea animals, go to Sea World.

At Sea World the lines are not as long as Disney Land but i did have way more fun at Disney Land so i think you should go to Disney Land.

i would definitely say disney world.i have been to both places and on the last day of my trip to the U.S, i begged my dad to take us to disneyland again. its a place where parents as well as children can enjoy. there are extremely thrilling rides and also slow rides. when u are in disneyland, u would forget all ur troubles and feel calm and happy. i felt that way.

Disneyland is in Anaheim about 45 min south of LA. Sea World is in San DIego about 3.5 hours from LA. If you've got kids take them to Disneyland. They would love Sea World but that's 7 hrs in the car round trip and you need a whole day there and part of the night because they have different shows at night.

ew.

Disneyland.

You should go to Disneyland. Sea World is in San Diego and if you are staying in LA it will take about two hours just to get there. Disneyland is closer but expect long lines for rides. Hope your trip is great!

They're both great but if you've never been to Disneyland you gotta go. It's the most magical place on earth don't miss it!

To go to Disney World you would have to leave California since it is in Florida. If I were you I would pick to go to Disney Land.

Disney land is for kids, the lines are long the day is expensive, but if you have a child in the 4-11 year old range, and money isn't really an object then the looks on there faces will be priceless,

sea world is a 2-3 hour trip by car from LA, but that will still give you plenty of time to see everything, as an adult who loves animals i prefer sea world, you get to pet and feed dolphins and sting rays (its safe) and if you get to take the behind the scenes tour there is some really interesting stuff that goes on behind the scenes,

as for down town what you really mean is Hollywood, and Beverly hills, if you ask to go to down town your gonna go to a business district, big building but not allot to do,

as for museums, natural history museum is great, science and industry is meant for kids but i as a kid didn't find it all that fun but that's just me,

as for the beaches try to get to Huntington beach 1st, Venice beach 2nd, and if you cant make it then try Santa Monica, these three have a board walk where you can go shopping and see some local flare, as well as lounging in the sun and sand,
