My family and I are taking off to Disneyland this coming Wed. Personally, I have not been there since I was a child, many, many years ago. This trip will be more for my kids than anything else. Will be wearing my BLNR on this trip.

If I am able to pull myself away from the Resort, I would like to visit some of the local watch shops in the Anaheim area. Are there any Forum members who would be able to provide some input as to some key places I could visit?

Thanks and I will update this post with some pictures upon our return next week!

Sorry can't help, but safe travels, Eric!

opaline460 · 21 April 2015, 07:56 AM

Have a great time!

Tri-Tip · 21 April 2015, 07:59 AM

I know there is at least one at South Coast Plaza, probably 20-30 minutes (60+ with traffic)

Stay with the kids and enjoy the trip, you can watch shop anytime.

Yeah this. I haven't been to Disneyland since 1981 and would love to see it all again. I heard they finally got rid of the old submarine ride. At one time that was their biggest attraction.

Hope you and the family have a great trip.

Traditional Jewelers in Newport Beach is always worth a trip. They carry Rolex, Patek, AP, IWC, JLC, FP Journe and Lange Sohne. Lots of eye candies there. They have a PP 5235 in stock and FP Journe Octa Calenderier in Platinum if you want to diversify away from your various Rolexes. These models are quite hard to get otherwise. Have a safe trip!

Danny83 · 21 April 2015, 09:56 AM

Yes Southcoast plaza is a must lots of great watch shops !

I suspect that you'll get caught up in the Disney Magic and never leave!!

Have a great trip and enjoy!!!!!

That's exactly what happened, my friend. I completely forgot about this thread. An amazing time was had by all.

redhotmurc333 · 21 April 2015, 10:30 AM

Hope you have a safe and very enjoyable time with your family! And at Disneyland make sure to watch the Fatasmic water show at night for your kids! They have one at 9pm and at 10:45pm! The fireworks start at 9:20pm so always a great idea to watch the 9:20 fireworks and then dash off to see the 10:45pm Fantasmic show after! BUT make sure and get a FASTPASS for the Fanatsmic show before hand!
And as for watch shopping, probably the best place for your whole family would be Fashion Island in Newport Beach since it is a outdoor mall with alot of shops for the wife and kids~ And they have little water fountains the babies can play at and a pet store etc... And the store you wanna go to is "Traditional Jewelers" ~ They're a Rolex AD along with Patek, Panerai etc etc...
Also There's South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa/Santa Ana~ It's ur Typical highline/Huge Mall with almost every watch store you can think of from the Rolex Boutique, to Jaeger, to IWC, to Vacheron, to Omega, Ben Bridge and Tourneau etc etc... So yeah its a great mall but I think since ur in Cali the Fashion Island in Newport would be a great place for your whole family~
Nonetheless ENJOY ur time with ur Family!

It is always temping for a WIS, but I'd say take a vacation from watches as well and just enjoy the family! :-)

Have a great time, Eric!

Bhindi Jewellers in Artesia, the watch shops in South Coast Plaza, or head to Beverly Hills.

Bob's watches is only about a half hour away.

Eric Chan · 21 April 2015, 03:09 PM

Thanks for the replies.

My time with my family and the enjoyment for the kids is my primary concern. Just wanted to get some info on watches, in the event I get some time to myself.

Flex368 · 21 April 2015, 04:09 PM

Have a great time with your family, Eric.

rolexnub · 21 April 2015, 04:27 PM

Eric, have a safe trip and great time with your family.

njbeizai · 21 April 2015, 04:45 PM

All the watch shops have been said. I like traditional jewelers and all the shops in south coast plaza a lot, in fact, I purchased my Cartier watch and my 116710 both from south coast plaza. Bobs watches is cool too, though I've never gone there in person. Hing Wa Lee in walnut is quite a drive from Anaheim, but they do have brands like AP there.

dmce · 21 April 2015, 09:19 PM

Say hi to Mickey!

travisb · 21 April 2015, 09:29 PM

Enjoy the vacation!

nick c · 21 April 2015, 09:32 PM

Enjoy your trip with your family

ericg · 21 April 2015, 10:59 PM

South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island are quite close to each other and an easy drive from the Disneyland area. There are some decent dining options in both of those malls so a dinner and some watch shopping always works for me

Nycturbovr6 · 22 April 2015, 02:09 AM

Enjoy!

Buttercup · 22 April 2015, 09:54 AM

Have a great trip Eric! Looking forward to see all of the MK/Rolex shots!

Eric Chan · 22 April 2015, 11:25 AM

Thanks again, everyone. Will definitely try to post some shots when I am down there. If not, will do it when I get back.
