Hi, Crystal!
I am a huge fan of Disney California Adventure Park, and I think your Mouseketeers at ages 2 and 8 will agree with me. Just having the chance to step into Cars Land makes the trip into this magical park worth a visit! Where else can you get a snack at Flo's V8 Café, see Lightning McQueen, and even snap a picture in front of the Cozy Cone hotel? Yep, only in Radiator Springs in Disney California Adventure Park!
Other attractions that your kids might enjoy:
-
Francis' Ladybug Boogie -
Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sully to the Rescue! -King Triton's Carousel
-
Heimlich's Chew Chew Train This is perfect for little ones, but one that I love even as an adult! Just so cute!
-The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure
In addition, you can dine with the Princesses at
Ariel's Grotto, and take a spin on
Toy Story Mania! The fun just keeps on coming for guests of all ages.
I suggest you visit Disneyland Park one day, then one day at Disney California Adventure Park. You can then decide which park you want to return to for your third magical day. You may be pleasantly surprised and end up back at California Adventure!
Wishing you a magical visit and sending birthday wishes to your Princess.
Cathy
