Hello, Samantha!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for sending us your question! Since my spouse cannot visit Disneyland Resort as frequently as the rest of the family, I often visit Disneyland with my two kids. I am happy to share my experiences with you!
Fortunately, many
attractions without height restrictions can fit two adults and a small child. Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion are some of our favorite attractions that can easily accommodate 3 Guests in
Disneyland Park. Haunted Mansion is currently closed for refurbishment, and it is a little spooky for some young kids. I always bring a pair of noise-canceling headphones for any attractions that may be too loud or scary for my little one.
Fantasyland is also filled with attractions that fit 3 Guests, either in the same row or in your own ride vehicle, including "it's a small world", Storybook Land Canal Boats, and King Arthur Carrousel. My youngest child could ride King Arthur Carrousel over and over again!
Over in
Disney California Adventure Park, The Little Mermaid - Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!, and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree are fun attractions that can fit 2 adults and a child. My kids also love exploring the
Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. It is the perfect place to climb, swing, and run around to get their wiggles out! The Trail is closed for refurbishment at this time, but I hope it will be open during your visit. Check the
Entertainment Schedule when you arrive in the United States to see if it is open.
Our family also enjoys watching the parades and Nighttime Spectaculars together, such as the
"Magic Happens" Parade. This incredible parade celebrates magical moments from legendary Disney stories, and my eyes tear up every time I watch it! You may be interested in the
Plaza Inn Parade Dining Package which includes meals and a voucher for reserved viewing access to the second “Magic Happens” Parade performance. The food is delicious, and access to the reserved viewing area makes me as happy as Tarzan swinging through the trees!
Samantha, I hope your family has a wonderful trip to Disneyland Resort! Please reach out to planDisney again if you have other questions!
Magic Happens!
