With the family we're doing the trip to Canada (YVR and BC/Alberta) in September October this year. At present it looks like we'll fly directly to YVR (currently around $7500 for all of us) and do a side trip to LAX at the end of the trip.
This thread from a bit over a year ago had some great info on both Disneyland (California) and Disney World (Florida).

We won't be going to Orlando this time although I'd love to. Have been to Kennedy Space Centre twice (and saw a rocket launch) and also got to Disney MGM Studios at Orlando when I was at a conference some years ago.
We've (me & the better 'alf) went to Disneyland some 10 or so years ago back before kids. We're keen to do it again with the youngsters who will be 10 and 9 at the time.
I'm looking at 5 days with an early flight in from YVR and late flight out of LAX (to connect with very late flight out of YVR to SYD. Alaskan Air has packages than run up until June 16 at present for return airfares, accommodation in Anaheim and some deal on Disney hopper tickets (adults at kids' prices I think - not that kids are much cheaper than adults anyway). I'm hoping they'll reveal some deals for October in due course.
What I'm looking for is advice on good hotels near Disney - we stayed in a bit of a shocker all those years ago so want to avoid that. Also want to look at what else to do apart from Disney and California Adventure. Go to Universal Studios? Knotts Berry Farm (or is that for teenagers?) San Diego Zoo? I don't plan on driving.
Also want to do some outlet shopping (which is fantastic in Orlando by the way)
Thanks team.
