Tips or Secrets to Disneyland

[Millsy]

Anyone know of any?  I was reading how DW has a few like the key under the mat at muppetvision, gets ya a certificate etc...

wondering what DL holds...

Dollar is taking a beating...wife is second guessing our trip....too bad we are going I told her lol...

Bring lots of money.



Get to the parks when for the opening rope drop. Head for the popular rides first.


Joking aside we bought the Hidden Mickeys books. Lots of great info

Get to NEMO first thing in the morning!

It's a very cute ride that must be experienced at least once!

I don't know too much about Disneyland.....sorry

The only one I could think of was:

If you have young children .... head to the Monsters Inc Ride at DCA when the park opens. The kids get to "scream" it open, and the loudest screamer gets a certifcate (or fastpass) to walk onto the particular ride all day long. My girls didn't win, but it was fun watching all the kids gather and scream ... a fun way to start the ride.

Also, if anyone is celebrating a birthday, there is a birthday celebration party you can book in the afternoons. For $10, each person gets a birthday hat, punch in a keepsake cup, and a decorate-you-own cupcake. Patty E. Cake runs the festivities, and it's capped off with visits and pics of Mickey & Minnie.

Oh, one more thing. If anyone in your group is interested in Build-a-BEar, you can get an outfit there that includes Mickey Mouse ears, Disneyland T-shirt, and Mickey Mouse hands for your teddy for about $10.

That screaming thing is pretty cute!

Disneyland is way different than WDW, that's for sure - and the dining plan is completely different. I had an ongong argument with a lady at my daughter's preschool that WDW is better than DL (she's a native Californian) - :-) - but can you imagine, what a great ongoing dispute to have!  We had such fun picking at each other.
