Greetings Kat!
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You won't believe the magic that is in store for your entire family when you vacation at the Disneyland Resort. I'm happy to inform you that there are many attractions and activities that can be enjoyed by your entire family together. Any attraction that does not have a posted
height requirement can be experienced by the park's littlest Guests, including your one year old. Some attractions your entire family of five can even enjoy in the same ride vehicle such as the boats on Pirates of the Caribbean, "it's a small world," Jungle Cruise, and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. Many other attractions you can still experience together but may be split into separate ride vehicles such as Haunted Mansion, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure, and Peter Pan's Flight to name just a few. I think you will be really surprised at just how family-friendly so many attractions are in
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park.
Don't forget about all the amazing entertainment options the whole family can experience together as well. Even as a one year old my son enjoyed the mesmerizing lights and music of the Paint the Night Parade which will be returning this spring. We also have had so much fun as a family interacting and meeting our favorite Disney Characters as well as taking some great pictures with them. I recommend downloading the
Disneyland app to easily navigate the parks, check attraction wait times, and look for locations of your favorite Characters.
I hope this was helpful, and have a magical day!
