10 Tips for Visiting Disneyland with Toddlers


We loved Disneyland but it is a pretty overwhelming place for little ones.  I have put together a bit of a list of things that worked for our two boys aged 1 and 3.  Enjoy the magic!
  1. Make sure you have your stroller (or you can hire one there).  There is LOTS of walking.  There is also lots of stroller parking which is great.
  2. Try and stay within a 10-15 min walk from the parks.  That way, if you have little ones who are still having a nap, you can get your hand stamped, go back to your hotel for a break and then go back later.
  3. Take LOTS of water, food and snacks.  Water is expensive to buy in the parks and you don't want to wait in queues for food.  Also, when you are queuing for rides you can entertain the littlies with food!
  4. If you can - go for a three day pass.  It is impossible to get the most out the parks in just one day.
  5. Go to the World of Colour Show
  6. Don't miss the Disney Parade
  7. Try to only go on rides with queues of 20mins or less.  Anymore than that and there is a distinct possibility of toddler queue rage.
  8. Meet as many characters as you can (if your toddler is into it - some are terrified!).  3-4 year olds, especially get a kick out of it!
  9. Make sure you get to go on at least a couple of things for you!
  10. See the magic through your kids eyes - you will feel like a kid again yourself!
