Prepping for a family Disneyland trip could be a task. If you want to have a truly magical time, there are some things you can do that will help make it perfect. Here’s 8 Most important items for making your Disneyland trip go smoothly.
1 - Good shoes. Bring a great pair of walking shoes as the feet will be stomping all over the place, even running to every ride if you’re like us! Sandals might seem easy, but following a whole day walking inside them, you’ll be wanting something more supportive. So be sure to bring a good pair of shoes, filled with comfy socks.
2 - Matching shirts. Disneyland is commonly a crowded place. It’s smart to wear similar shirts like a family so everyone can easily be spotted. Even if you geek in Mickey and Minnie attire, who cares, you’re at Disneyland. Or be like my sister and her group of 10 and all wear NEON green shirts, ensuring they spotted each other within the crowds!
3 - A babysitter for that baby. Yes, we made it happen. Thanks to the help of close friends and family, we left our 12 months old at home. And oh can one tell you it was worth it once we were able to cruise the park fast and furiously. I simply hope one day she won’t say “Remember that certain time when you left me home?” But she’ll get her turn eventually soon!
4 - Don’t your investment camera. We’re the total camera-at-every-magical-moment family! We take video, use our camera phone, as well as the kids get to take some pictures! However i do suggest on one from the days you leave your camera within the hotel room so you can just benefit from the park for what it is.
5 - Snacks along with a water bottle. When you’re at Disneyland from morning to midnight and also the lines are long, you’re going to find your children in need of water or snacks. It’s smart to bring a Nalgene bottle and some granola bars in your pack, then when you’re in line or have a rest, you can re-fuel. Otherwise you’ll pay $3 for any tiny bag of chips!
6- Fanny pack. You heard me, a fanny pack. They really sell some cool lightweight packs nowadays to carry all your park hopping accessories. It had been great to have a lightweight pack to help keep our traveling supplies in. No loose change goes flying out of pockets around the Tower of Terror!
7 - Stroller. Regardless of how old your kids are their little legs get tired. So bring along a stroller just in case. You can preserve it at the hotel or perhaps in your car, or rent one in the park. I promise it’s worthwhile. It will save you from sore shoulders and whiny children.
8 - Bring your appetite. There’s plenty of yummy “must have” treats at Disneyland. My spouse and i live for the MONTE CRISTO! I believe we ate 2 of these during our stay, yikes! But it’s one fun thing good quality to when we go to Disneyland. There’s even the Pomme Frites (fancy fries) from Cafe Orleans, the Mickey Ears frozen treats bars, and the frozen lemonades. Yes, we starve ourselves the weeks before to create room for all these goodies!! Here are a few great places to eat while at Disneyland:
Blue Bayou - just note, their Monte Cristo is just served at lunch
Cafe Orleans - across from Blue Bayou, also serves the Monte Cristo and people yummy fries!
Character Breakfast - you have to experience this once. We loved Goofy’s Kitchen.
Red Corn Dog Truck - on Main Street. Soooo good!
Dole Whip - while watching Tiki Room
Bengal BBQ - yummy bbq skewers in Advertureland
Are you currently planning a trip to Disneyland soon? OR what “must haves” made your Disneyland trip successful?
