Starting atop Train Station, start a series of photos aimed at Partner's Statue, until you in front.
You're standing at a statue of a Nazi.
Best place to see the fireworks, hands down.
Take a picture of the top statue. Everybody's doing it.
Take a picture of the toad statue. Everybody's doing it.
Original to the Park opening in 1955, this "dark ride" has been a favorite with adults and kids alike. FUN FACT: Melvin the Moose (from the Country Bear Playhouse) is hanging in Winky's Pub.
Hidden Mickey on the lips of the Statue of Liberty at the end of the ride.
Best time is at Christmas! Left side is always quicker
spot the newly added Disney characters.
They need to replace this thing with Teemu's statue.
Pizza in the suite...best ever. Try the onion dip w/chips.
Did you know the Anaheim Ducks are the main (and only sports) tenant at Honda Center?
The best ice cream cones are at the back of Toontown! The serving size is HUGE and they're relatively inexpensive (in comparison).
Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth. While you’re in Disneyland, make sure you go to the castle. That’s where I ran into Mickey! Mickey Disanti, from my old neighborhood. He looked great.
Go ride the Jungle Cruise!
Secret eatery at grand californian hotel: white water snacks- yummy beef nachos, refills, & no crowds at a reasonable price!
In 2009, the park attracted approximately 6.05 million guests, making it the 11th-most visited theme park in the world, its highest ever attendance total for a calendar year.
The coaster, California Screamin' is incredible!!! DO IT!
Take the time to watch the parade on Main Street. Cute and worth it. I'd advise arriving at least 30min early to stake your claim on a spot!
The Ice Cream shop is the best place in the park for ice cream. Their scoops are huge!!!
In order to beat the crowds inside, once you enter the elevator stand closest to the wall facing the other elevator. Then at the bottom the doors will open right in front of you and you'll be first.
see it while it features Nightmare Before Christmas! say hi to Sandy Claws!
Make sure to look up when the lights go out
Even if you don't love the movie (fyi, I love it), this is a really fun area of California Adventures. Shops and food and rides are all great, and it's very densely populated.
The neon lighting ceremony is "when it gets dark"
Wait until 2016 for Radiator Springs - or use the single-rider line. The line moves fast because most people travel in twos and fours, but the ride holds six.
Get in line before the park opens & go straight to Radiator Springs Racers. No fast pass. We wait 5-20minutes tips every time. It's our first stop every morning. Best way we've found to beat the line.
Bring iPad. Watch both 'Cars' films while you wait in line.
Single rider is the way to go.
Don't miss out on the sleeping beauty walk through! The entrance is near the bibbidi bobbidi boutique! Venture into the castle!
Best place to "steal" a kiss at Disneyland.
Cinderella's slipper display as u enter Fantasy Land. Its a favorite spot for proposals!Pay ur respects to Mr.Disney. Clock that hangs at the castle gate always display his time of passing :(
Place looks gorgeous for Christmas time! Makes sure to meet Santa and check out Newsboys and 5&Dime! Great talent out there!
Make sure to meet all the lovely citizens! They sure are the bees knees!
Check out all the shows they have throughout the day!
My 2-year-old daughter loved Fantasyland. All the rides are geared to the young ones. The tea cups were a favorite!
Charge up your iphone at the Snow White Wishing Well – with your back to the well, face toward the Castle and it is in the bushes next to the railing in a green camouflaged box.
Several Fantasyland Attractions close for the nightly firework displays. Avoid this Land shortly before and during the firework show!!
Definitely find the Lego Darth Vader and take a picture with him. :)
Waiting for dinner at Rain Forrest Cafe - this is a great way to fill in some time!
If you take back your cup you get 50 cents off but be sure to mark it somehow so they know it's yours :)
Go over to the Poo Corner gift shop, ask for one of the plastic shopping bags. Now put anything you don't want to get wet - except the kids and enjoy the ride.
At Splash Mountain, put your enemies (or spouse) in the front of the boat--they get soaked!
The more weight in the front, the wetter you get. The more weight in the back, the better your chances at staying dry.
