Hellobee Boards

I was tempted to just search HB and find our previous answers from past week/year’s as there are countless threads on DL and DW by now.

3.5 is a great age! Not sure about the baby.

No discount sites but I recommend paying 10 dollars more for the max pass so you don’t wait in lines for Fast Passes, you can just do it all on your phone or if not, google rope drop and then get to Fantasy Land super early. I plan everything to avoid lines. **Mousesavers is a good site for saving money.

Umbrella stroller is fine.

I hope you are also going to the second California Adventure Park which is attached to Disneyland but a separate fee. I like it more than DL itself and lots of little kid things there like Cars Land, Bugs Life, The Wilderness area (forgot the name) and Dosney Jr show. Deleted my favorite food places bc that was for DW. I have that on brain bc we are abt to go soon.

I edited post above.

We're going to Disneyland this summer and I bought our tickets through Get Away Today. They were slightly cheaper than Disney and I felt like they were very responsive to questions, and they included coupons for the area. I've also heard aRes Travel has slightly discounted tickets. We took our kids when my youngest was 16-17 months and there were things he could ride, can't remember which ones in particular, that was 4 years ago.

@Pumpkin Pie: We have season passes and go once a month. They have lockers so we usually put most everything in them and only bring a small drawstring backpack to hold phones, wallet, wipes & snacks with us around the park. My 3YO still takes naps about halfway through the day so we still use a stroller for him. ( be aware that you have to park strollers in designated "stroller parking" for rides. We didn't know and we came off a ride and it was moved, I had a slight heart attack.) I highly recommend the park hopper as California Adventure is a really neat experience. I also recommend the Maxpass, it's $10 per ticket and you get the fastpass and access to download pictures taken by the park photographers (and they take some really good photos).
