Jim M. — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:54:00 GMT

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.

1 Stars: Disneyland Stolen Stroller problem (by Maria L.)

Maria L. — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:36:00 GMT

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.

3 Stars: Stolen Stroller at Disneyland (by Catherine S.)

Catherine S. — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:39:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Another Stolen Stroller (by Tina M.)

Tina M. — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:39:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Happiest family place (by Trevor L.)

Trevor L. — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:42:00 GMT

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.

3 Stars: Disneyland is Great (by Rachel H.)

Rachel H. — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:39:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Disneyland is Cool! :) (by Michael T.)

Michael T. — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:30:00 GMT

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).

5 Stars: The Happiest Place on Earth!! (by Stephanie B.)

Stephanie B. — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:44:00 GMT

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"!!

5 Stars: had a great time (by Rebecca D.)

Rebecca D. — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:22:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Live like Mickey Mouse (by Lynn L.)

Lynn L. — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 22:52:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: A dream come true (by R f.)

R f. — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 12:08:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: we wished upon a star! (by Susan H.)

Susan H. — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:20:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Always Quality (by Ken J.)

Ken J. — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 10:50:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: wonderful small world (by mohana k.)

mohana k. — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 18:03:00 GMT

I love disney characters from my childhood days.we have fun therewith my family.my kid love all character like micky,minnie,goofy,
i recommend going there in the spring.

5 Stars: Get the pass (by Edwin D.)

Edwin D. — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 11:54:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: The Happiest Place in the World (by Mary E.)

Mary E. — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 09:29:00 GMT

Disneyland - what a GREAT place for the young and old alike - when you walk throught the gates you can feel the magic. Love this place - try to go at least a couple of times a year.

5 Stars: best place ever (by Samantha T.)

Samantha T. — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:24:00 GMT

whenever i go there i feel like a toddler again! i love everyhting about disneyland from splash mountain to matterhorn to its a small world to the fireworks show. people try to say bad things about it like bathroom glory holes and sex offender workers but its never happened to me so whatever.

5 Stars: Happiest Place on Earth- literally! (by Jocelyn C.)

Jocelyn C. — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 12:44:00 GMT

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!

4 Stars: its the place to be (by jessica b.)

jessica b. — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 14:48:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Yeah Mickey Mouse (by tami d.)

tami d. — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 08:52:00 GMT

This is the place of enchantment. Every time I walk through the gates, I become a child again and worry free. I just love Disneyland, it is the happiest place in the world. If you haven't been you have to go at least once in your lifetime. Great family fun.

5 Stars: best place (by Tammy J.)

Tammy J. — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 22:08:00 GMT

5 Stars: so fun (by Mariah/Nicole D.)

Mariah/Nicole D. — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 20:07:00 GMT

disnyland is a really fun place for a family. it is the happiness place on earth. at night is so fun to watch the fantasmic show. then the tinker bell show with the fire works.

5 Stars: who doesn't love Disneyland (by Jamie N.)

Jamie N. — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 22:13:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: The HAPPIEST place on EARTH (by Stacy M.)

Stacy M. — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 11:56:00 GMT

I LOVE going to Disneyland. Nothing really can compare to a Disney theme park. They have "magic" down to the last detail and it completely creates a memorable experience. Great for families, friends and couples. I recommend going at any opportunity!

PROS: Love it! SO FUN!
CONS: Expensive... Food, hotel, gas... It adds up.

5 Stars: I'm addicted... (by Manuel B.)

Manuel B. — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:02:00 GMT

God i love this place...I wasn't a believer in the Magic Kingdom until my older years...What a wonderful place...Makes feel young again..I love to watch my children have a great time..We eat well and get a lot of exercise (We stay from opening til Closing)...Love the Holidays there and never miss the fireworks show (even five days in a row)...

4 Stars: GO MICKEY (by Barbara B.)

Barbara B. — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 11:13:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: have to go every year (by monica j.)

monica j. — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 09:59:00 GMT

We love disneyland we visit disneyland at least once a year and our family loves it. Just to see the smiles on your kids face what else could you ask for it's the happiest place on earth.

5 Stars: It is magical (by Ciara-Jayne H.)

Ciara-Jayne H. — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 21:51:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: A dream come true! (by Paula H.)

Paula H. — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:04:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: The best place on earth! (by Diana P.)

Diana P. — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 09:13:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Who doesn't love Disneyland? (by Chris H.)

Chris H. — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 14:54:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Happiest place on earth!!! (by angela l.)

angela l. — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 10:04:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Disneyland can be the happiest place on earth. (by Deb T.)

Deb T. — Sun, 06 Nov 2005 03:25:00 GMT

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.

4 Stars: always a good time (by Kevin P.)

Kevin P. — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 11:09:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: disneyland (by Stephanie P.)

Stephanie P. — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 20:19:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Experience the magic (by S. N.)

S. N. — Wed, 14 Sep 2005 16:08:00 GMT

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!

4 Stars: Disneyland -- It's A Mickey Mouse World (by Charles M.)

Charles M. — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 12:34:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Classic Park (by Vonessa L.)

Vonessa L. — Sat, 23 Jul 2005 13:15:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: love (by Jessica S.)

Jessica S. — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:14:00 GMT

i love disneyland. it is seriously the happiest place on earth. they have sooo many attractions, one day is not enough. the lines are long, but their fastrak system helps out a great deal!

5 Stars: The Happiest Place On Earth (by J. P.)

J. P. — Fri, 15 Jul 2005 11:40:00 GMT

I LOVE Disneyland. I wish it were closer so I could go more often. My favorite ride is Splash Mountain because I like the water rides. I love that Disneyland has been maintained so well for so long. The park is always clean and the staff is always friendly. Walt Disney started a wonderful thing.

3 Stars: Parking (by Ruth L.)

Ruth L. — Fri, 15 Jul 2005 10:25:00 GMT

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

3 Stars: Expensive day of fun (by Carleen K.)

Carleen K. — Sun, 10 Jul 2005 14:31:00 GMT

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.

4 Stars: 50th Celebration (by ana b.)

ana b. — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 08:59:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Great Park (by Anh Thu T.)

Anh Thu T. — Thu, 16 Jun 2005 22:18:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Definitely the Happiest of Places (by Kim R.)

Kim R. — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 12:41:00 GMT

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:

5 Stars: Gotta love going to see Micky and Minnie (by Melissa P.)

Melissa P. — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 21:18:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Disneyland is the best (by John D.)

John D. — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 03:32:00 GMT

I consider myself lucky to live near Disneyland because I can get there less then 15 minutes of driving time. For most people it would take a fly or a long drive. Every time I go to Disneyland, I just love every part of it. Most people said they gotten tire of Disneyland, but I haven't and I am an adult.

4 Stars: World of wonder for those who are young or young at heart (by Carissa P.)

Carissa P. — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 14:33:00 GMT

Disneyland begins to lose some of its appeal as you grow older, but if you go with friends who are young at heart or children you will remember the thrill you got when you were five. Everyone has their favorite rides. Mine are the Pirates of the Caribean, Haunted Mansion, and the Peter Pan Ride. Try to set a limit so you don't over spend on food and goodies but its definately worth the price of admission.

5 Stars: WONDERFUL! (by Wai W.)

Wai W. — Sat, 04 Jun 2005 14:33:00 GMT

Its fabulous! The most happiest place on earth! everything is just sooo magical! The rides are great, parades are great, everything if great. Take your children here and they will never want to leave!

4 Stars: Crowded, even with speed pass (by K P.)

K P. — Tue, 24 May 2005 16:43:00 GMT

More and more people seem to go here every year which has driven up the drives quite a bit. It is an expensive destination but fun for those who have never been.

5 Stars: Magical (by Shane A.)

Shane A. — Tue, 24 May 2005 08:47:00 GMT

Disneyland is a place everyone must visit. Any fan of the Walt Disney Movies would be in heaven. The park is very large and there is a lot of walking involved in haveing fun there but they offer trams and other means of transportation to make your stay better.

5 Stars: Not just for kids (by J. G.)

J. G. — Sat, 21 May 2005 19:09:00 GMT

I still love disneyland. I love it because the magic is still there, allot has changed since childhood however it has the same effect on me. the pricing is alittle high however once you are in you will stay all night if you don't have little ones to tire out. The animation is great. they food is good alittle overpriced and parking is still a challenge, they are located near allot of other things for a great night out.

5 Stars: Still the Happiest Place on Earth! (by Vicki P.)

Vicki P. — Thu, 19 May 2005 12:34:00 GMT

Always loved Disneyland -- always will. I used to come as a child and now I bring my children. True it's way too expensive but it is still so clean and wholesome and so much fun. My teenagers like the music and disco at night.

5 Stars: Great place for little kids (by Stacy K.)

Stacy K. — Wed, 11 May 2005 22:08:00 GMT

We recently went to the Disneyland resort and my kids had a great time. They enjoyed rides I thought they'd cry on. There was so much for them to see and do. They were able to go on quite a few rides and they are only 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old. Great family vacation destination.

4 Stars: Nice for kids (by IVAN D.)

IVAN D. — Wed, 04 May 2005 09:30:00 GMT

My nephews love Disneyland and always look forward to going every summer. It can be pretty expensive here so be prepared to spend money. I like how the parking sections work so you won't have problems finding your car. It is always best to come early to spend all day at Disneyland to get your moneys worth.

5 Stars: A Wonderful World to Share and Enjoy with Your Family (by Teresa N.)

Teresa N. — Tue, 26 Apr 2005 20:05:00 GMT

Disneyland.. A wonderful place to spend quality fun family time with you and your kids. I loved it. All the fun houses, buildings, and construction make Disneyland a dazzling magical world. All the realism of everything truly brings you to another time and place... a place you'll never forget.. a place of Mickey Mouse and all of his Disney created friends. Disney land is a theme park that I recommend to everyone.

A lot of the rides and attractions are quite fun and amusing. My favorite ride is Splash Mountain. The sight of it can scare many people, but the thrill of it all sets laughter and fun to everyone. You are in a kind of canoe and have the pure joy of dropping down into an approximately 20 feet waterfall.(except not as rapid) No one can forget the Haunted Mansion. This haunted mansion is more fun than it is scary. All the great sound effects and 3-D figures set and eerie, yet amusing setting. Children can enjoy toon town, Small World, and smaller rides. As you can see, there are different attractions that are appealing to all members of the family.

At night, you can see all kinds of performances. You can hang around to see the fireworks and festivities of lights. They also have young performers dance and sing musicals of Disney medleys. There is also the wild west shows and shows all along Main St. A must see for everyone..

Souveneirs were always fun to shop for. On the main streets of Disney, you can shop to your hearts content with hundreds of stores. Stores selling toy guns, stationary, statues, toys, pictures, candy, etc... They are even arcades if you ever feel like wasting your money there. There really isn't ever a time when I wasn't attracted to the stores. Of course the souveniers are ridiculously overpriced, so bring plenty of money the next time you visit.

PROS: The magic that Disneyland brings, the warmth, the beauty, the excitement.
CONS: The crowd and long lines are horrible. Some days take 1 1/2 hours on rides.

4 Stars: the magic never dies (by Erica H.)

Erica H. — Fri, 22 Apr 2005 20:34:00 GMT

Get ready for the most magical and memorable vacation of a lifetime. Disneyland provides an escape back into your childhood. From attractions from animated classics, to exciting stage shows, through the years it hasn't lost it's glow. I remember seeing this spectacular film show at night. They'd turn on these water falls, and project the cartoon onto the water! Different flashes of light would go off, and symphonic music blasted from the speakers. Check it out!

Certainly this is one of the best places to have fun especially if you have kids. The park is amazing, the fireworks at night beautiful, but it is very expansive and too crowded sometimes, so it is better to go during the week if you can do it.

Disneyland is alot of fun. The park itself is awesome and one of a kind. All the rides are in Disney theme and they even have a couple of roller coasters. They've expanded the park to include the california adventure which is okay, and they now have downtown disney which is a pretty happening place to check out. It's got plenty of shops and restaurants that stay open late and it's a great place to take the family to hang out. So Cal residents should look into season passes!

I remember a simplier time when you didn't have to take out a loan to take your kids to Disneyland. Is it worth it? Of course. It's just sad that there are alot of people who cannot afford to go. We now go at least once a year. I remember so many rides of the past. I have pics from probably every decade since they opened. For all those who have not been in awhile you need to go back......................love it!

PROS: A great day to enjoy all the ones you take w/you
CONS: go in "off season"

Disneyland CAN be a lot of fun, but you have to do it right. Getting into the 33 Club is super hard, but super fun, too. Definately go on an off day, in the spring or fall, winter even, but summers can be gnarly.
I've been disappointed with ride closures, so try and check ahead to see what the maintanence schedule is.

Disneyland is a fun place to be, but not really for me. Maybe it's because i'm not a little kid anymore. Disneyland has more shows and attractions rather then fun, fast rides. good place for kids. I would only go to disneyland if it were my first time or if i have to take someone there that has never been there before.

Disneyland is definitely one of California's greatest attractions! The park has so much to do for all ages, especially now that they have expanded with new hotels, downtown Disney, and the California Adventure. Disneyland park is really great, everything is clean and beautiful and very festive. The rides are done in all Disney themes so everything is a joy and wonder to experience. They now have the California Adventure which has even more attractions with a sort of Knotts Berry Farm feel. Downtown Disney has a plethora of shops and restaurants that stay open late which makes Disneyland a truly awesome place for the whole family to experience. Of course the downside is the high prices you pay for admission, parking, food, and souvineers, but with a little planning ahead families can save money by eating away from the facility and bring snacks and checking out season pass options isnt a bad idea for locals either!

5 Stars: Fun amusement park (by Jessica S.)

Disneyland is a great amusement park for the whole family to visit from all ages. This amusement park has great rides from Pirates of the Carribean to Peter pan. Disneyland's food is really good but can be pretty expensive. Disneyland has many stores to visit and they also have an AMC movie theatre there which is pretty awsome. One cool thing about Disneyland is they have all the characters from Goofy to Mickey Mouse. Where they sing and dance and you can take pictures with them. So if you and your family are ever in the area you should come down to Disneyland where its the happeist place on Earth.

Disneyland sure is magical. Once you get there you just feel happy. Disneyland is really wonderful and great for the family. I went there during Christmas and that is the best time to go. Theres this happy atmosphere surrounding you. Some rides are long but theres always fast pass so thats another good thing. Fast pass lets you get in front of the line then those who don't have a fast pass. During Christmas theres a whole bunch of decorations in Disneyland that you are just overwhelmed. The rides are always fun. I like Indiana Jones the best. The food is great as well. Nothing in Disneyland is bad. Its just a great place to relax and have fun in their thrilling rides.

I have ALWAYS loved disneyland and I can actually remember when they still had "E-Tickets" to get on the rides (scary huh?) while I highly recommend going, I'm also gonna recommend you bring ALOT of money because it has gotten pricey (around $60 a ticket but for both parks) as for the rides..."soarin' over california' in California Adventures is not to be missed and don't forget to also check out Space Mountain opening again this year after a 5 yr hiatus!

This may be one of the happiest places on earth if you range in the ages of 3 and 23. I have to admit that I am a huge fan of Disneyland. No matter how much I hate lines and I'm not the biggest fan of rides, I do enjoy this place and I enjoy the shows more than anything. If you haven't seen the nightly parades you have to at least once. You'll be amazed at the floats and the costumes. You won't be able to stop smiling.

I have been here a couple of times and love it. I had so much fun here with my family. The thing that I hate about Disneyland are the long lines for the rides but in the end its all worth it. Things can be expensive here so be prepared to spend money.

Disneyland brings back so many memories, but it's changed a lot since I was a kid. Some changes are good and some aren't. I like how they have the fast pass and single rider line so you don't have to wait in an hours long line to ride. I don't like how they changed my favorite ride, Pirates of the Carribean, and made it more "PC". I also think it's way too expensive. Getting an annual pass or doing the two-fer deal in the winter is the cheapest way to go. I always tell out-of-towne guests to not go during the summer - it's too crowded. Otherwise, Disneyland will always be very special to me.

Disneyland is awesome and no matter how old I get I still love coming. I actually appreciate it more now that I'm older because I'm not a fan of roller coasters. The rides are a perfect pace for me especially the Haunted House, Indiana Jones and I hate to say it, Small World. I've never been a big fan of the food, but lately they have more healthy options and they also sell fruit and smoothies for snacks. A great place for the family and when I have kids I'll be the first to bring them.

Disneyland is more for younger kids than for teenagers and adults. Everything is Disney theme and they have a new park called 'The California Adventure' which is similar to Knott's Berry Farm, but again seems like it is for younger kids. There are some cool rides like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Carribean, but if your looking for the big roller coasters I would suggest Six Flags.

I love Disneyland but then again who doesn't. I grew up in Orange County and I remember coming here for as long as I can remember. The nice thing about Disneyland is that it's easy to get to, it has lots of parking and a tram to pick you up if you're too far and they have lots of shade. The rides are always fun and they now have healthier places to eat and get snacks. They have a new shows to watch and relaxing places to rest throughout the day. I never get tired and so far haven't gotten too old for this place. It is great.

Disneyland is the bomb! I've been coming here since I was a kid, and now I have a season pass which is just $100 for the whole year. Regular admission is now $50 here since they've added the 'California Adventure' themepark, so if you go twice you've already paid for it! I still like the Disneyland side better with it's classic ride's like Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain and Calfornia Adventure is worth checking out once so come in and have a great time with friends and family at the happiest place on earth!

Disneyland is one of California's most precious gems! I used to take my kid's here when they were little and will definitely take my future grandchildren here as well. This is a park that everyone can enjoy! They have rides for small children like Dumbo, Small World, and the Horse
Carousel, and faster rides like Space Mountain, the Matterhorn and Thunder Mountain, but everything is decorated so charming and beaufifully in disney themes that everyone will love experiencing any of there rides at least once.

Disneyland will always be a special place to me! I've been making fun memories there since I was a little kid and will continue to do so as I get older and finally take my own kids there! I reccommend that everyone check it out at least once, and california residents can enjoy a season pass for just $100! The park has awesome scenery, and rides like Pirates of the Carribean and Space Mountain that are just classic. They have also put in a whole new park 'The California Adventure', which is just okayin my opinion.

Disneyland is the happiest place on earth!!! There are a lot of great photo opportunities there to prove it, too. Disneyland is a lot more fun if you have children, but as an adult you can have a good time, too. My favorite ride there is Space Mountain. If you want rides that will get you dizzy and give you butterflies in your stomach, I would reccomend Magic Mountain instead.

You have to experience Disneyland during Christmas. I took my family for Christmas Eve and it was magical to say the least. It was slightly crowded but thats Disneyland ALL the time now but the decorations and how much all the rides were done for Christmas was amazing. And for all your Nitemare before Christmas fans...the Haunted Mansion is a must see!
