Planning a San Diego vacation means balancing beachside beauty with Disney dreams. Whether exploring La Jolla's coastline or planning a magical day at Disneyland, this guide helps you enjoy both experiences. Disney fans can enhance their trip by combining San Diego adventures with Disney Vacation Club ownership.

Explore the Beaches of La Jolla and Mission Bay

Begin your San Diego adventure on La Jolla's scenic shores. With its rocky coastlines, calm waters, and abundant sea life, it’s perfect for families and nature lovers. Head south to Mission Bay for paddleboarding, kayaking, and biking along the waterfront trails.

If you're planning a longer stay, consider a Disney Vacation Club resale contract through DVC Sales for savings and flexibility. Use the Disney Vacation Club Point Calculator to plan your trip based on family size and travel habits.

La Jolla Highlights & Sea Life

Enjoy breathtaking views, visit tide pools, and spot sea lions at La Jolla Cove—a must-see for every traveler.

Activities at Mission Bay

Families can rent bikes, kayaks, or paddleboards while enjoying Mission Bay's calm waters. After a day outdoors, unwind at a nearby DVC property and consider buying DVC resale for future stays through DVC Sales.

Balancing Time Between San Diego and Disneyland

San Diego's must-visit places include La Jolla Cove, the San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park. Should you spend a day or two at Disneyland? It depends on your overall trip length. Focus on San Diego's top attractions if your visit is short. However, if you have four or more days, Disneyland can be a fantastic addition. A well-planned itinerary lets you enjoy Disneyland's excitement and San Diego's beach vibes.

When to Visit Disneyland During Your Trip

Weekdays offer fewer crowds and shorter wait times. Plan your Disney park days midweek to maximize your time and comfort.

Tips for Efficient Travel Between Cities

Flexibility is key if plans change. You can sell DVC points or buy Disney timeshare contracts through verified experts like DVC Sales to fit your schedule.

Many tourists worry about Disneyland's cost. Tickets, meals, and gifts add up quickly, but Disneyland can be budget-friendly. Purchasing through DVC Sales allows you to enjoy a lavish stay while saving money. You can reserve rooms at popular Disney resorts for less by buying a DVC Sales contract. Use DVC points to book accommodations close to the park instead of expensive hotels.

Options at DVC Sales offer tourists a chance to enjoy Disney affordably. Buying DVC is a smart choice for families who love Disney and plan frequent visits.

Mitzi and I couldn't have had a more positive experience as the one which we had, in selling some of our DVC points through DVC Sales with Mark and Lori Webb. and their staff. The whole process was transparent, seamless and we were being fully briefed as to the. progress. Thanks to Mark we were kept aware as to what was happening with the listing, with the ROFR bu Disney, and with the closing process completed, all in a short months' time. We couldn't have asked for a better group than DVC Sales for the sale. they were honest . amd truly caring on our behalf. Mitzi and Lee Tucholski

Just sold some of my points and Mark and Lori were wonderful. I’m very, very happy with the experience. I got an excellent price and now someone else gets to enjoy just a bit more of DVC. The website is great to work with too. I will always use DVC Sales and encourage you to do the same.

Foreign sellers, beware; they will not provide correct information to you about what you can expect when selling. They also, at the end of the process, hit you with fees you did not expect, and you are too late to do anything about it.

I could not imagine being happier with my experience using DVC Sales to sell our Old Key West membership. We enjoyed so many years of Disney vacations. While on your website I started a chat that turned into a call with Lori. She took the time to explain how the website works. Within a few minutes I had created my account and listed my membership for sale. Within 3-4 weeks we received an offer and sold our membership. Thankyou Lori and DVC Sales!

Mark, today we have just received the last check for our 4th contract you sold for us. Our experience was outstanding you deserve the acknowledgement for your service. You remind me of the way customers were treated years ago. Everybody we spoke with or chatted online was friendly and helpful. Although the process took a few months, it was worth the wait. We hope the families who purchased on contracts have as much enjoyment as we have had. If anyone is looking to buy or sell a DVC membership you can use our name. Thank you again!
