Mission Valley is Sea World area right? If so, both Phils and Extraordinary Desserts are only a few miles away. I stayed at the Hyatt Off Mission Bay Dr right across the way from Sea World. Most of everything we did was only a few minutes away. Legoland is in Carlsbad, which is about 30 minutes away. Look back on page 1 for my post. I have the links there.
I don't think i put up Phil's BBQ, but here's the link: http://www.philsbbq.net/
I haven't been to Sea World since i was a kid... but i would imagine you'd need most of the day to do/see everything there. Last time i went to the SD Zoo, it was A LOT of walking and took us most of the day to see all the exhibits.

Question:
Is Seaworld a whole day thing? Or half a day?

Horton Plaza is whatevers IMO. If you're heading up the 5 fwy NORTH to get to LA, then take the 405 fwy NORTH, and exit off of Bristol. South Coast Plaza FTW!! If you keep heading NORTH on the 405 fwy, you'll eventually end up in Santa Monica which is about a 45 min drive without traffic.
"Cool" Asian district in LA/OC there's ton.
OC - biggest Vietnamese district in Westminster, CA
LA - Chinatown, Japantown, Koreatown, Filipinotown, Thaitown, etc....
Chinatown, and Koreatown are the 2 biggest in the LA area.

Pacific Beach - college bars/very chill
La Jolla Shores - very nice beach
Fashion Valley Mall - upscale outdoor mall
Convoy Street - Asian food
Gaslamp - nice clubs/bars/restaurants
Balboa Park - nice area that has tons of museums/art/music
Coronado - Hotel Del Coronado
Old Town - tons of Mexican food restaurants
Go to Sea World. Skip the Wild Animal Park and Legoland...not very nice places to go in December.

As far as LA... where are you going in LA? Orange County or Downtown?

I visited SD alot from the bay and we stayed at that Hilton once. It was pretty nice. One thing if your bringing your G and its a coupe the driveway to get to the parking garage is hella steep! You'll defintely scrape your exhaust and you'll feel your car is going teeter on the driveway. Scraper, scraper!
