Disneyland is about 5 hours from where Mark is, and about 6 hours from me. Jon is only about 1 hour from there. If you need a Hotel to stay in, I can tell you the best location and value. It is literally across the street from the main entrance to Disneyland.
While you are there, try Newport Beach, and take your wife shopping. You can also do the Hollywood thing, about an hour north, and you can get a tour bus at most of the hotels around there.
Another thing you can do is Knottsberry farm, about 15 minutes from Disneyland. It is often a lot more relaxed atmosphere, and they have some really good Fried Chicken, if you can stand the wait.
There is also Universal Studios, and Legoland about an hour away. Legoland is more fun for little kids, and Universal is more fun for big kids.
There are a lot of things to do there, and of course it is on the right side of the country.
