1) Airfares to California are often as cheap or even cheaper than round trip fares to Orlando.

2) Avoid the crowds. Californians have different vacations than we do, and while every other New Yorker is herding to Orlando, slip off to LA.

3) Orlando has your number. They know when our breaks are and airfares and hotel prices peak for them.

4) It's not in Orlando.

5) To elaborate, there are other things to do besides go to theme parks, like the Getty Museum, the San Diego Zoo...and, I think there's at least one more thing...

6) Disneyland has all the magic stuff, but it's a smaller, more intimate park. Perfect for visiting with little Princesses and Jedis.

7) California Adventure park, adjacent to Disneyland with Hollywood backlot, offers even more rides, and new hotels double the fun.

8) Jedi Training Academy. Awesome fun for boys and girls. (Yes, they have this at Disney World too. Don't bog me down with details.)

9) Now through April 24, book a three-day vacation package starting as low as $68 per person, per day at the nearby Quality Inn. Go to disneyparks.com for more Spring and Summer Disneyland deals and discounts.

10) It's not in Orlando.

Just kidding, Orlando. You're great. Coming up next. 10 reasons why you should go to DisneyWorld. ;)
