Just happened to see this thread. Heading down to LA in January for the first time, and going with the wife and kid, who is just under two years old. Round trip tickets for the three of us ended up costing about $450 total, direct flight with Westjet. The normal fare was already cheap enough at $230 per adult, but I used a 20% off code on top of that.

When I was looking for a rental car, I thought it was weird that the intermediate SUV class was the cheapest option, cheaper than a compact. I found a one-week rental through Dollar for just over $200... but then I found out about car rentals through Costco Travel through a coworker, and booked the same thing with Budget for $160.

The trip was a total blank slate for us, and in the end, we decided that we'll get the 4-day Go Card for $210 each, which we're planning to use for Universal Studios, Legoland, Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier, LA Zoo, and the Aquarium of the Pacific.
