Preparing For Disneyland

or worry too much about what Goofy might be up to.

That's what i was thinking. I never understood the draw for anyone over 8 years old.

there is some cool stuff there. But what's sucks. Is when I went they had a slow season and a nearly empty park is great. There is something fun about walking through an empty line area and seeing a sign that says 2 hour wait from this point. And then if you liked the ride being able to get back on almost right away.

The best advice I ever got was...go left.

If given the option to go either right or left, almost 70% of Americans will go right. If you go left, the lines are smaller.

Been there 5x and it is true.

^^^, Yup this right here.

Any chance you get to take a young lady to someplace like Disneyland is time well spent. Memories!!

Heading to Disneyworld in the summer - looks like I need to pack a bottle as well?

If only that pipe shop was still around!



I think it's a Music store now?

I'm pretty good at mimicking celebrity autographs. I got in trouble at Disneyland with my girls about 15 years ago, by signing autograph books with "Keep the Magic Alive, Walt Disney". I did one, while waiting in line for a character, the next thing I knew, I had my own line. Eventually a Dad came up to me and complained. I said, your kid just got in line, and that's not really Goofy up there signing his name either".

It is magic for those under 10, enjoy!

That sounds like a wonderful plan, @shanez! Taking your daughter to Disneyland is a great way to celebrate her 4th birthday, and I'm sure it will be a magical experience for her. Disneyland has a way of making dreams come true, and watching your little one's eyes light up with excitement is truly special.
It's also nice to hear that you had some relaxing moments with a Baccarat cigar outside the hotel last night. Balancing family time and personal relaxation can make the whole trip even more enjoyable.

One of my very favorite adult trips was to Disneyland but I never actually entered the park. Some bar/restaurant I use to hang at raised money to take two long term employees there on vacation as they had never been on a vacation and I volunteered as a driver as only one out of the three had a license. I declined going in as I knew I'd be a grump but would drop them off and pick them up at the end of the day. I'll tell you- nothing has warmed my heart in the same way as seeing those three walking towards the car with each wearing a different Disney character themed hat. We did the whole thing, including driving from NYC to Orlando in under a week, leaving late Sunday night and returning on Friday so they could all make their weekend shifts. I will always remember that trip with the utmost fondness. Dreams really do come true!

We are child-free, so I’m unqualified to offer parenting advice, but my wife and I love the Disney parks. And I would have thought that 4 would be awfully young to enjoy the park.

Good luck!

A little over a year old I had the youngest of my daughters on her first trip to WDW.

@shanez did you go to that piano bar where they never fail to play Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" every hour? I forget what section of Disneyland it was...

All Stars movies room and Disney baby diapers room.
