That’s amazing — what a magical experience!! 🎉✨
Here are a few tips to make your first Disneyland trip with the kids extra special (and less stressful):
Must-Do Attractions for Families:
- Fantasyland: Perfect for little ones – Peter Pan’s Flight, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, It’s a Small World.
- Mickey’s Toontown: Great place to meet Mickey & friends, and let the kids run around.
- Jungle Cruise & Pirates of the Caribbean: Fun for all ages.
- Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters: Interactive and a big hit with kids.
Character Meet & Greets:
- Download the Disneyland App to track character locations and times.
- Don’t miss Mickey & Minnie at their houses in Toontown!
Tips for a Smooth Day:
- Arrive early (rope drop) – it’s cooler, less crowded.
- Use Genie+ (if budget allows) to skip long lines for popular rides.
- Bring snacks, water, sunscreen, and maybe a change of clothes for little ones.
- Take breaks! Use shows or slower rides to recharge (like Tiki Room or Disneyland Railroad).
Kid-Friendly Eats:
- Red Rose Taverne (Fantasyland) – burgers, flatbreads.
- Alien Pizza Planet (Tomorrowland) – fun and themed.
- Snack on churros, Dole Whip, and Mickey pretzels — totally worth it!
