CALIFORNIA DREAMING....PLANNING A FAMILY TRIP TO THE WEST COAST ...

If it is practical to drive from Yosemite direct to the GC, I will do that, spend 2 nights and 1 in Vegas. Otherwise, it will have to be Vegas/GC/Vegas. Also want to see Hoover Dam. 7 NIGHTS SAN DIEGO /LA ..... My question here is would it be a good idea just to book a Hotel near Disney, like the Howard Johnson, for the entire stay, get a 3 day flexible Disney pass and visit other attractions from there? Will it be too far from there to do day trips to other places around ...
