Now these are no life changing amazing tips these are just the things that really made our trip better and I'm hoeing to write them down so I can remember them the next time we go..
First I suggest taking a jogging stroller verses a regular stroller it is so much easier to push through a crowd or get up curbs with that big wheel verses the little plastic ones. Plus jogging strollers have that nice little space in the front that if your walking child gets tired you can have them sit for a bit. And that big stroller makes great for saving spots at parades.
Also find out what your child's favorite food/lunch is and take it.. My daughter love love loves turkey sandwiches so we took bread and turkey and mayo and made her turkey sandwiches and she loved it. She wanted those over any other food there s that way we were only buying food for the husband and I and that saved a lot of heart ache.
So if you go to the disney store, or walmart or smiths they sell disney gift cards that you can use anywhere in disney or California adventures. So we bought a bunch before we left we bought about on a month for 3-4 months and the all had different amounts it was just what ever we could afford that month we out on a gift card. And let me tell you how amazing it was to have those and not have to worry about saving all this money to buy gifts or souvenirs. So stalk up on those gift cards.
If your going to try to hit the late stuff with small kids, like the fireworks or world of color things like that, you should sleep in. Don't set an alarm to wake up and be to the park, let those kids sleep as much as they need especially if you were at the park or traveling the day before. It can be so exhausting for those little ones and trust me you don't want a melt down while trying to find the perfect spot for world of color and you also don't want them sleeping through it.
Don't forget to take a nice plastic or steel water bottle with you. These were life savors for us we each had our own bottle and you can fill them up with ice water at the Rancho del zocalo restaurant which is located between the princess area and frontier land. we took steel water bottles which most know that when you put ice in them they stay so cold, we could get ice to stay all day for us and we just bought the super cute ones at the disney store that were $6.00
The baby center this was amazing. Its like you walked right into Mary Poppins little haven. its located and the end of main street on the right side if your facing the castle and it is next to the camera place. they have small potties and changing stations, nursing stations, and rocking chairs and the nicest old ladies you will ever meet.
Now if you have little princesses make sure you plan a good day and a half to spend in the princess area. When we went with our little princess we spent a good 8 hours just seeing all the princesses and watching the plays. If your princess is a big Frozen fan make sure you plan extra time because they have now been added to this area and I have heard the wait is close to 2 hours to see Anna and Elsa.
Fast Passes the only thing we got passes for was the new cars ride Radiator Springs Racers and we are so happy we got them. Now these fast passes you get in bugs land early early in the morning like they are sold out within the first 30 min of the opening hour and the line is always crazy long. So when you first walk into California Adventures and you instantly see a line that is for Radiator Springs Racers. I would also recommend getting a fast pass for World of Color the fast passes are also gone within the first 30 min of the day. So I would do one, one day and the next another day.
Well I know these are all basic tips but they are what helped us ALOT!!
Oh and when your at California Adventures make sure you pick up a jalapeno creme cheese stuff pretzel.. They are amazing!!
Hope you enjoy your trip at the Happiest Place on Earth. It truly is a magical place and we hope to take our family as much as we can!!
