Insider Pages Reviews for Disneyland
Disneyland is truly the happiest place on earth. It is kept amazingly clean clean and they have such a culture of being friendly and helpful. All the events, shows and parades are well organized. Disneyland is the original. Take the time to visit at least once if you haven't already.

Our stroller was stolen last night. I am very dissappointed with the response from Disneyland staff and not surprised when I found this site. They definitely have a problem.

My stroller was also stolen at Disneyland, outside the Tiki Room just one month ago. It was never recovered and I was told from Lost and Found that it is unlikely that it will be. It's probably on Craigslist. Although I will return as I am an annual passholder, I will be bringing a lock with me on my next trip with my daughter.

They may tell you to bad if your strollers is stolen but the truth is since it continues to happen they have liability here. This is considered negligence against Disneyland for failure to protect a patron from an anticipated criminal act. If Disneyland Security does not help you make sure to file a police report. I too just had a stroller stolen. It's too bad that this has to happen. I am taking a bicycle lock from now on.

Another stolen stroller. My family and I love Disneyland but they have to do something more about theft from the park. It seems Disney turns a blind eye but is becoming a real problem. Our stroller was recently stolen and Disney security was a joke. I would hate to think what would happen if you really needed help. That said, we still love Disneyland and have plans to return, were just a little more careful not to need any help.

My son loves the tikki room and its a small world and there is something magical about the place but I feel said because the "MAGIC" is dying slowly every time I go again I notice it MORE! I was most shocked when my stroller was stolen and they wasted 4 hours of my time and when everything was said and done they told me TOO BAD if they fine the person that stole my stroller they wont press charges and they knew it was stolen because three stroller were taken from the same spot.

Whenever you need a place to get away for the weekend, Disneyland is the best place to go. From all the fun rides and attractions, this place is full of things to do. Best of all, it's only 4 hours away (drive time).

DISNEYLAND is the best place to enjoy great family time. My family and I love to go once a year. I think as adults we might even enjoy it more than my kids, lol!! The restaurants, the attractions, and the characters are so much fun. I will continue to love DISNEY and all it has to offer for the rest of my life. Thanks Walt for having such a vision and allowing others to enjoy it as well. May Disney continue to attract all age groups and continue to fulfill dreams, "DREAMS WILL COME TRUE"!!

We enjoy Disneyland so much that we try to go once a year. They are very good about keeping up the cleanliness of the park and the landscapers are phenomenal! They have plants and flowers -theme appropriate- down to the smallest detail everywhere in the park. Our favorite place to eat is a little Mexican restaurant next to the Thunder Mountain railroad roller coaster. It's delicious and reasonably priced.We can't wait to get back there. We are already planning our next trip.

Disneyland truly is one of the happiest places on earth! It's so exciting, clean, fun, and truly makes you feel like a little prince or princess for a day. All the happy characters from the Disney movies make special appearances, not to mention the amazing rides and exhilirating shows and fireworks displays. This theme park is open all year round and you should definitly check it out at least once in your life because once you go, your gonna wanna keep going back!

Been there, done that, still love it!

My family has been to Disneyland at least 14 times total! I have no idea what could be a better experience of a lifetime. My kids, 11 and 15, still love it after all these years. My youngest loves all the rides and looks for "Hidden Mickies", while my oldest goes off on his own and enjoys the scenery. I know that not everyone can return every single year, but there is no way anyone could be bored. Disney is always coming up with something new and fresh! Even in the summers when the lines are long, it doesn't matter because Disney knows how to keep people moving. If you plan ahead and get a Fastpass, you can get a snack while you wait. There is always something to do and my family plans to return once again this year!

The Disneyland Resort is the perfect place to stay if you're in California on vacation with the family and want a place where you can have constant fun!
The resort is obviously close to the Disneyland theme park, meaning it's close to California Adventures as well. Or if you just want some good eating and shopping, mull around Down Town Disney.

Year of a million dreams
by Anonymous
When i was younger i used to spite disney for i beleived it was an evil monopolistic corporation with overpriced goods which led to exploitation of tourists as well as locals. This year however I was hired at disney and i was skeptical at first. However as i continue to work there i see what they really stand for, to make dreams come true. This is not limitted to just the kids. When you see the snow start falling in Fantasyland and watch everyone rush out to reach for some laughing having a great time it gives us, the cast, a warm feeling inside. Happiness is priceless.

When I was child, I really wanna go here. And yeh, I did but I was already in my 20's. Not so bad huh? There are many fun rides but some are boring for me. If you're planning to ride all the rides, you better plan ahead coz the lines are long. I only got to 3 rides. By the way, if you dont live near Anaheim (just like me) start planning early because We got stuck at traffic. So plan early that way you can enjoy! I wanna go back again - this time I will have to plan.

We had the best time at Disneyland. It was pretty crowded by the time we left after the fireworks, but it was still a great time! We loved seeing the characters around the park. We were there after the Rose Parade and want to go back!

Disneyland probably has the highest standards when it comes to theme parks. They set the mark many other parks strive to achieve. The only downside is the lines and the cost of food & drinks. Be sure to use the fast pass option when possible to cut down on line time for the rides. Other parks charge an additional fee for what Disney offers free. Also, plan on a weekday trip to avoid peak visitor times.

If you can afford it for Southern Californians, get the annual pass. It is worth it. My kids loves coming here and expect them to have a blast here. There's different blockout days for different rates and I would go for the Premium pass. 365 days of heaven at the Happiest Place on Earth. With the pass, One can experience the true feel of Disneyland. Plus you can visist the new California Adventure park next door; two parks for the price of one.

Disneyland is famous because it is so fun! There are less thrill rides here, but it's made up for in family favorites like the spinning tea cups and matterhorn. The character parades and fireworks at night are always entertaining and amazing, and the prices once inside the theme park are outrageous. But in my opinion, it's well worth the splurge just for the fun and memories!

everybody should visit the happiest place on earth once in their life. disneyland is a family place with something to do for every age. the characters are just great. the only thing is that the lines are really long so its a good idea to get fast passes for the rides that accept them
PROS: it has something to do for every age
CONS: the lines get really long

I would go all the time if I was allowed. I just love Disneyland. I still enjoy running around and getting autographs from all the characters. Where else can you go and forget about your worries and act like a kid and no one cares becuase they are doing the same thing.

Disneyland is so much fun for our fmaily. We have a rule that no one cries in Disneyland and use our vacation here to spoil our kids (okay more then we already do). The older kids love the rides and the little one loves to see the princess. Sometimes we split up to get more done and less waiting.

It is magical to see your kids eyes light up when they watch the fireworks at Disneyland. This is a fantasy come true. Toon Town is probably my favorite place at Disneyland. They have mail boxes that talk when you open it. They have a train that circles around toons town. And my all time favorite ride .. Roger Rabbit! My kids loved it too!!!
PROS: You'll remember it always
CONS: Very Expensive

My daughter loves Disneyland. She loved seeing all the princesses, going on the rides, seeing the shows and parades. It is very expensive. We had breakfast with the characters and that was very expensive but our daughter loved it. Be ready to be surrounded by lots of people and to spend lots of money!

Everytime we visit Disneyland, we stay at the resort. The location to the park, the manicured landscaping, the top notch customer service keeps us coming back for more! We've stayed at other neighborhood hotels, but nothing beats the Disney experience! Adjacent to Downtown Disney, you have access to restaurants, shops and entertainment, without even entering the park! Just walking through Downtown Disney feels like magic! Trust me, you won't be disappointed when you stay at the happiest place on earth!

This is a great place for kids and adults, and even better now that Downtown Disney has been built. Best to go on a weekday when it's not too crowded so you don't end up spending an entire day waiting in lines to get on rides. Also, the shops and restaurants at Downtown Disney are not to be missed.

I've been an annual pasport holder for years now. I've loved Disneyland since I was a little girl. They have built many new rides since then..
Fantasmic is my favorite water show at Disneyland. Don't miss this. Go early so you can find good spots.
The best time to go is winter time, before Christmas. The park is decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations and lights and waiting in long lines in the winter is not as painful as waiting in long lines in the hot summer Southern California weather.

Love Space Mountain. The wet fun of the log rides is a great souvenir picture of the whole family or your friends. I even got my picture taken with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, the Little Mermaid, and Cinderella. The animation on the rides or theatres is as good as you see in the Disney movies. The Electric Parade is a must see, so stay up late and meet on Main Street USA.
PROS: The rides are fast and fun.
CONS: Not being able to see Walt Disney's private apt.

I've only been to Disneyland a few times, but each time has been a good experience. It doesn't really compare to Disney World, but there is ample enjoyment to be had in a day at Disneyland. They've been making quite a few changes here over the years, in particular to Space Mountain. Still, if you've been here many times before, most of the rides may seem to grow stale after repeat times. Plus everything is so expensive...you may want to pack a lunch if you want to avoid spending an arm and a leg on things besides the tickets. Overall I would highly recommend Disneyland.
PROS: great place for a date
CONS: everything is expensive

Disneyland, a classic amusement park, is fun for all ages. As we enter Disneyland, we first encounter a garden of flowers presenting Mickeys head. Heading towards Main Street, we forget the world of today, but enter the world of yesterday, fantasy, adventure, and tomorrow. There are seven areas within Disneyland: Main Street, Critter Country, Adventure Land, Frontier Land, Fantasy Land, Tomorrow Land, and Mickeys Toon Town. Each area has a fun and interesting event. In Main Street, we can find stores to buy souvenirs and memories. In Critter Country, we can enjoy the splashes of water on Splash Mountain. In Adventure Land, we can explore the jungle on the Jungle Cruise or ride a truck in Indiana Jones. In Frontier Land, we can watch Fantasmic at night or ride the train in the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. In Fantasy Land, we can meet characters and ride through timeless stories. In Tomorrow Land, get ready to drive a car in Autopia or set out into space on Space Mountain. In Mickeys Toon Town, meet Mickey and all his friends. Disneyland is a great place where the whole family can enjoy themselves and spend valuable time with loved ones.

With ticket prices over $50 per person, it is much more reasonable to visit Disneyland as a vacation destination and buy a package deal with airfare, lodging and tickets included. Or if you live in Southern CA buy a pass for the year. Disneyland is someplace that every child, and adult, should experience. Try to visit mid-week, off-season, on a day that looks like it might rain to avoid the crowds. Use fast passes to get on the most popular rides, and be prepared to spend an arm and a leg for food and drinks. But also be prepared to have a lot of fun!

It's coined "The Happiest Place On Earth" and Disneyland tries its best to live up to the hype. It may be one of the most well-known theme parks in the world with a huge assortment of characters beloved by all ages.
The park is enormous that is divided by different themes. The Main Street train will give you a nice overview of what to expect as it allows you to see get a glimpse of the park on a very relaxing ride.
There are lots of activities to do and obviously it all cannot be done in a day. Entertainment is always around you complete with a fireworks spectacular at the end of the day every night. The rides are filled with long lines so the waiting period varies on the popularity of the ride. My favourite will always be the Haunted Mansion and the Pirates of the Carribean.
Get some comfortable shoes and prepare for some heavy duty walking. The parking lot alone is a trek if you manage to situate yourself at the very end of the lot. The staff always have a smile on their faces, which can be creepy at times. Also, take out a loan if you want to visit the park. The happiest place on earth can lead you to poverty.
Disneyland has to be experienced at least once in a lifetime. The kids will love it, you will get tired. Still, it's a great place to let worries fall be the wayside for a while.
PROS: Great experience, fun activities, memorable
CONS: long, long days, expensive

Disneyland is the most classic park in the world. It is really the happiest place, because you feel like you've landed in your childhood dreams all over again. Best of all, they just reopened Space Mountain, so it's one of the best rides now! When Disneyland celebrates, they really celebrate! It is expensive to go, since the food can cost an arm and a leg, but if you don't go like every weekend, it's so worth the trip!

I had a great expierience at Disneyland don't get me wrong, its the happiest place on earth, however, that wasn't the case when we were leaving. THe parking structure is huge and when we got there we didnt think much of it till we were leaving. THats when we realized we should have really figure out where we parked. It took us a good 15 mins to find the car. So when you get there take good note of where you park

Disneyland is still known to many as the happiest place on earth, but be sure to come with a full wallet. Admission prices have skyrocketed and the food in the park is overpriced and bad. They won't allow you to bring in coolers of food like they used to years ago, but you can still bring one and leave it in a coin locker located right next to the entrance, where you may return to retrieve when hungry.

My husband and I celebrated our 1 yer wedding anniversary at Disneyland this weekend. I love Disneyland, it brings out the little girl in me. But, I must say I was disapointed in the 50 th anniversary celebration. I was expecting more of a "celebration" . Instead the only difference I saw was a parade and a pink castle! I was a little dissapointed.
PROS: Very clean and fun!
CONS: Nothing much to celebrate about

I just got back recently from Disneyland and I had an awesome time. I was there on May 23-28th a little bit more busy that we thought but with the 50th going on they say every time of year will be busy. I love California adventure and it is not crowds as Disneyland. There was a great firework show which started at 9:00Pm and last around 45 minutes. I recommend Bugs life, Muppet's, and Aladdin to name a few great shows.

Disneyland is truly for all ages! The organization does a fantastic job at all aspects of running the park. The employees are well trained and friendly. The rides are all great and the Fast Pass idea seems like a no-brainer. The grounds are always immaculate. We used the Dog Kennel for the entire week we stayed there and we had no complaints and would definitely recommend it to those traveling with dogs.
PROS: The Dog Kennel was excellent
CONS:

Everyone loves the happiest place on earth. Yes it starts to get a little boring after awhile, but Disneyland still has its appeal. The best is going with friends who love asking like a kid at times. You can always find fun at Disneyland. My favorite rides are Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Carribean, and The Mattahorn
