Dear Sue,
A 3-day trip to the
Disneyland Resort sounds fantastic!
There are many things you can do to balance the fun and give your kids equal amounts of rest and Magic! I'll be glad to give you some ideas but first, know that parents can rent strollers outside the Disneyland Park Main Entrance Ticket Booth. To my knowledge, there's no posted age limit at the stroller rental office. However, in my long history of visiting the Parks, I've seen the strollers used mostly by infants and toddlers. This is not to say your kids cannot ride them, after all, the strollers are sturdy and easy to maneuver but depending on the height of your children, you may decide otherwise.
Now, because there is a lot to see and do when you're at the Happiest Place on Earth you can pace yourself to avoid wearing out too soon.
Here are some ideas for Disneyland Park:
* Start your day by exploring Main Street, U.S.A. If you stop by City Hall, every family member can get a pin to commemorate your first visit! The
Main Street Cinema offers a nice, quiet space to catch some laughs with classic Walt Disney cartoons from the 1920's.
*Board a Main Street Vehicle like a horse-drawn carriage for a ride to Sleeping Beauty's castle. When you arrive you'll be entering Fantasyland where your kids can ride the Mad Tea Party attraction. When they're ready to step up the thrills, you can visit the neighboring Matterhorn Bobsleds!
*From there, you can walk over to the Tomorrowland Theater to sit back, relax and watch some famous
Star Wars moments. After the feature, it'll probably be close to lunch time and you'll see the kids will be ready for more fun!
