So I consider myself a Disneyland pro. However, trying to take two infants and my toddler in October on UEA weekend when half of Utah invades Anaheim, we had a very mixed experience. I studied up on it before going, of course, but much of my information was incorrect.<br /><br />I detailed the hits and misses of our last trip in the blog post called "Disneyland: A Post In Which I Admit I Was Wrong" http://putthatonyourblog.com/disneyland-a-post-in-which-i-admit-i-was-wrong/<br /><br />I hope it's of use to you and others.

Always bring a change of clothes for the kiddos, a bjorn or similar carrier for a baby along with a stroller, and lots of baby stuff (even if you leave it in the car, the hiked up prices at the baby center are NOT worth it), as well as PJs if you're planning on staying late. Go to the visitor's center for a birthday pin or a first time pin if those apply, and I think it'd be really neat if you included all the secret insider info just for fun (not to help people per say, but such fun info to know - like how the windows when you walk down Mainstreet are not proportional because they are huger to make you feel like a kid, how they pump out different smells depending on seasons to make it oh so wonderful, how there's a basketball court for VIP people inside the Matterhorn, Club 33, etc. - it's just fun info to know about!) We went to Club 33 right before I left the firm and one of my girlfriends has an awesome blogpost about it with insider photos to the whole ordeal, but you can also wikipedia a bunch of info about it. Anyway, good luck! Sounds like an awesome idea - i just hope it doesn't mean longer lines for us when we go now that everyone will know how to do it right hahaha.

I get that same response when I tell people I ...Ha! I get that same response when I tell people I worked in the weddings and catering offices at Disneyland ... Followed by "People really get married there?" And a song from me "yes they doooo!" Good days. Living there with littles, it was so nice to spend an hour or two on a morning with a pass. A whole vacation wrapped around it seems like a lot. I love your idea of a survival guide. marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038380112579282024noreply@blogger.com
