I’m contemplating our family vacation (2 adults, 2 kids 6 + 10) for next spring break (last week of March/23) and noticed that our airport has a direct flight to Palm Springs. I’d really like a vacation in a warm place at a resort with amazing pools (waterslide, lazy river, etc) which Palm Springs seems to have plenty of. Then I checked google maps to see how far it was to Disneyland…
My questions:
-
How is the drive from Palm Springs to Disneyland? We’ve only driven once in the US in the last fifteen years and it was between SF, Napa and Sonoma. Are the roads similar to that? DH wasn’t thrilled about driving there.
-
Is the last week of March a good time to visit DL? We’d go mid-week.

As expected the Grand Californian price seems ridiculously expensive. 3 nights in the cheapest room category + 4 day tickets (I’d probably just do 3) + genie+ + park hoppers are over 4k USD. Worth it?
