Got tentative vacation plans to head to southern California from Sept 20th to Sept 28th. Thinking of going to a few wine tour places and the big forest thingy for the first few days. Then planning on heading to SFMM on the thursday, knotts berry farm on the friday (With the halloween scary farm thingy.. However for the entire day for 2 of us it's over $200 with parking! That seems pretty insane..) Then possibly back to SFMM for the saturday. The thursday hours are fairly limited (10am-6pm) hence why I was considering 2 days. We went to southern California a few years ago and did disneyland/California adventures, seaworld, the zoo, and universal. It's a bit of a shorter trip, so we can't really get out to do much else. Would 2 days at SFMM be to much? Should we just visit the saturday and get the flash pass? Should I buy the Club TPR membership (We probably won't go to any theme parks next year, so we'd really only be able to use it for this trip, would the membership for 2 of us be worth it? (Can't see the discounts for the parks any longer) Thanks!

Myself and my girlfriend usually take a big annual trip to somewhere in the states. We were going to visit San Francisco this year but the planning seemed difficult and hotels there seem crazy expensive. She got the idea of driving from our home town (Calgary) to somewhere near yellowstone national park and renting a cabin. I thought it was a brilliant idea, as long as there's some sort of amusement park we can visit on the way. The only one I can find that's anywhere close is Silverwood Theme park. Seems to be about an 8 hour drive from Calgary to there, then about 8 hours from there to somewhere near yellowstone. Our holiday days are Sept 20th to the 28th. How many days should we plan to spent at silverwood? Unfortunately the waterpark's final day of the season seems to be Sept. 1st so that's out. The hours and days when we could potentially be there are both Saturday and Sunday, from 11am - 7 pm. If we left Friday evening we could make it about half way, then drive the other half in the morning to be there saturday morning and then all of sunday, then drive to a camping destination. Is 2 days to much? Any other parks or such to visit? We were thinking of renting a small cabin (At perhaps KOA campgrounds?) Anyone have any good recommendations for places to stay or things to do around that area? We were thinking of white river rafting and hiking and such. Thanks! Mark
