Newport Beach, California & surrounding areas

We surprised the kids with a fun-filled trip to Newport Beach. Through our timeshare, we were able to secure 4 days and 3 nights at the Newport Coast Marriott Villas for $99. If you have been to this resort, you know what a good deal this was. We stayed in a beautiful 2 BD/2 BA villa with ocean views and a gorgeous pool and activity center. The kids loved it. Newport had a lot to offer. We spent quite a bit of time at Fashion Island Mall and we loved our day spent at Balboa Island. It is a wonderful beach community with shopping, restaurants, amusement park, bike and boat rentals and a gorgeous pier. The kids thought it was so fun to put our car on a ferry boat and head across the water!I think the other big highlight was waking up and surprising the girls with a day at Disneyland. It was a priceless reaction! We stayed all day and into the night to watch the holiday parade. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, the park is beautifully decorated for the holidays.
