RVing from Vancouver BC to DisneyLand
Hi, I am new to this forum and was hoping I could get some advice. My family and I are planning a road trip from Vancouver BC down to Disneyland in August. We have about 15 days and would really love...

dsaj, I'm with All58Parks, I took a quick look on S&T. Your trip is quite doable in my view. In my younger days I made quite a few trips like this in this time frame and have been to most all the locations you mention including doing the Coho from Victoria, down the Oregon Coast, Anaheim, San Diego etc in a single trip.
But I would forget doing CA1 (Big Sur etc this go round. It's wonderful but leave it for another time) south of San Francisco and, south of Willits, use US 20 to cut over from US 101 to I5. You would have some relatively long driving days on this trip but you should also then have sufficient time in Anaheim and San Diego to make it worth while. There are lovely ocean beaches not far from Anaheim. Our favorite place to stay while there is now Orangeland RV Park just off Katella a bit east of Disney but, as you probably know, there are a number of RV parks closer to Disney. In the past we've also stayed in ocean front parks near Huntington Beach (I suspect fully booked up by now). Yes, if you have never done it before, go over to Tijuana.
I would also leave the jet boat thing for another trip and beeline it home to BC from San Diego leaving more time in Anaheim (and area, at least 4 nights would be nice) and San Diego (3 nights). Enough stuff to do near both cities for many trips.
