We took our kids to Disneyland on their
birthday. By some miracle, we managed to catch a day where it wasn't
crowded, and we didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes in line for
any of the attractions. The kids had a great time.



I'm glad to hear they had fun. Sounds like a great way to spend a
birthday. How far away do you live from DL?

About an hour.

Which is about 18 miles away in LA traffic.

We considered getting one of those Disneyland yearly passes so we wouldn't feel
like we had to get our money's worth anytime we went. But the cheapest tier
has so many blackout dates it may not be worth it. We are going to wait until
they are a little older before we attempt it anyway. We got a season pass to
the San Diego Zoo instead.

What sorts of rides do they have for small kids? Are they all in one general
area? What about rides you can go on with them? I haven't been there in 25
years so my memory is fuzzy beyond the spinning tea cups and Space Mountain.

I'm not sure the blackout dates are a problem. You probably wouldn't
want to go on those dates, anyway, since it most likely be unbearably
crowded.

For our kids, rides weren't the main attraction. Our daughter is
scared of even the small kids rides except for Small World, Dumbo the
Flying Elephant, and Jungle Cruise.

The thing they liked best was meeting the Disney characters. They
met Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore, Little Mermaid, Mickey and
Minnie Mouse, Snow White, Belle, and Cinderella, Goofy, and Aladdin
and Jasmine. For some reason I can't figure out, they also loved
Tarzan's Tree House.
