We did that exact trip with our two kids (ages two and almost 4) last year
We got disneyland tickets through Air Miles. They took awhile to come, so if you want to do this do it now. There is a 1 week pass that covers San Diego Zoo/Sea World/San Diego Zoo Safari. We hit the Safari park on the way between San Diego and Anaheim, its sort of on the way if you take the inland highway. Our little guys enjoyed it. We may have told them at the entrance that the 3 year old was 6 so we could go in the walk through lemur exhibit. Now the Calgary zoo has this, so maybe not as cool if you've done it there.
San Diego zoo was amazing. Make sure you see the tortoises - they are the size of a VW beetle. Our little guys really liked the small cages of bugs/lizards, and the polar bears and panda bears were a hit as well. Seaworld is great, parking is extra. I wouldn't bother with the upgraded parking, we arrived soon after it opened (kids get up early) and parking was no further away.
This year there was a Canadians only deal for Disneyland tickets. It's too late to buy them, but they expire at the end of December. You might find someone on kijiji or a work classified looking to dump ones they didn't use. Obviously want to be super careful not to get scammed, but could be worth it.
