I'd rather ride a unicycle that uses an all season tire by Firestone on a patch of ice while not wearing a helment. Naked.

There's not too much to do in Anaheim besides Disneyland, California Adventure etc. Relax, enjoy the weather. Go to the beach if you can make it out there. You'll have fun in Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm is fun too if you like more intense rides. Disney's California Adventure is also fun, but you can't really spend a day there. Pretty small with only a couple real good rides.

You can't do much in LA if you don't have a car, especially if you're staying in Anaheim... how would you get to Staples Centre? If you can get to the subway line (and don't mind passing through Compton ), you can get to Staples Centre as well as Hollywood...

If you don't have a car and are staying across from Disneyland, check out the House of Blues at Downtown Disney and see if there are any concerts there (http://www.hob.com/venues/clubvenues/anaheim/). You can walk there from your hotel.

ESPN Zone at DT Disney is a great place to watch a game (or 20) and I love their bacon cheeseburger.

We moved our family vacation from March to Feb to catch a few games but are now only going to the LA game. I will be in Row 6 in the same section as the Flames bench with my 2 kids and wife. I am totally pumped.

Thanks for posting this as I am getting a few ideas of things to do as we will be in Anaheim for 7 days and then LA for 3.

Man there is lots to do in LA!!!

1. Check out Universal Studios - Way more fun then Disneyland IMO
2. Tour around Rodeo Drive... Lots of cool shops to check out
3. Burn Chris Prongers furniture... fun for the whole family
4. Try and go to a TV taping
5. Check out the walk of fame... good for a couple minutes.. LOL

I remember going to LA back when I was like 15 years old, and you can go into those stores and buy pictures of Celebs so you can stick them into your pics when you got them developed so it looks like you saw them... lol

Go to the Fender Plant in Corona California maybe you could get a tour? Go to Hyde park, but you'll need a dog, chicks galore, it worked for Turtle and Drama!

ESPN Zone also has this great hockey simulator game. I had all these American tourists gathered around watching me fire bullets at that goalie. As soon as I walked out, a bunch of them said you must be Canadian!
