| My family just returned from our 1st trip to Disneyland. My 6 year old
son loved all the thrill rides - Indiana Jones, Space/Splash/Thunder
Mountains, Matterhorn, Gadget's Coaster. My 22 month old daughter loved
the characters - she visited Minnie & Micky at their homes and hugged
Pluto for at least 5 minutes !
We were there for 1 1/2 days and bought the Flex Pass so we could get
in at 6:30 AM and get a head start on the crowds. By 10 AM things were
getting busy and in the evening when crowds were smothering, we enjoyed
the awesome Lion King Parade, ate dinner, and toured the Swiss Family
Treehouse for the 3rd time (my son watches the movie, frequently).
Having worked at DisneyWorld during summer, Christmas and Easter
breaks after my freshmen college year, I was curious to compare parks.
Disneyland is smaller scale and it is very easy to see just about
everything within 2 days, if you start early. DisneyWorld takes more
time because it takes longer to walk everywhere. Both are lots of fun
for the family.
We flew Western Pacific's $89 mystery fare from Colorado Springs to
LAX, caught the super shuttle to the Marriott Hotel, and rode the hotel
trolley to the ticket entrance at the park. I am glad that I did not
rent a car and fight traffic. We have many great memories of our visit.
