1. Don't go to Disneyland on any day not starting with T or W.
Trust me on this. I don't care if it's off season, raining, snowing, or Christmas Day. Just don't do it.
2. Don't stay in a hotel near Disneyland unless it's labeled "within walking distance of Disneyland." Half a mile away doesn't mean "within walking distance." It means half a mile away. And if you don't use the ahem, FREE bus ride, you will get a blister on the ball of your left foot.
3. Bring band-aids for when you get a blister on the ball of your left foot.
4. PACE YOURSELF!!!!!! Take breaks. Lots of them. Force them if you have to. Princess Aurora can wait. Space Mountain isn't going anywhere. The Dumbos on the Dumbo ride in Fantasy land are not going to fly away if you don't get in line right now.
5. The magical little "early entrance" they tell you about is Disneyland's way of staggering the onslaught of guests arriving at the park. It's not your own precious little secret. So unless you want to wait in line forever just to get in for your "magic morning", get there an hour even earlier, or come about fifteen minutes late.
6. Breakfast at the Carnation Cafe on Main Street is A.MAZ.ING! Eat there. Do it. Get the Mickey Mouse waffle, it's divine. And a hot chocolate. Double divine.
7. Have a blast. Take lots of pictures. Be silly. Sing along with "Pirate's Life For Me." Pretend you're really going to an ancient temple with Indiana Jones or on a real space flight or to the castle of your favorite princess.
And finally...
7. Don't let an email from an agent rejecting your manuscript because it didn't really "hook her" get you down. You're at the happiest place on earth. Being a grouch doesn't fix things.

Well said!
And post pictures of disneyland :)
Oh!!!! I'm so excited you were able to go to the Happiest place on earth!! My husband and I went a few weeks ago to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Who says Disneyland is just for kids, we had a BLAST!!
We're planning a trip this summer to D-land. The last time we went for Christmas several years ago. It was the WORST idea we could've had. Christmas Day in D-land didn't feel like Christmas day at home. Lesson learned for us!
But summer...ohhhh we're ready for that!! Glad u had a super time and thanks for the tips! (I'll try to remember the band-aids.)
How fun! So glad you guys could go. We were planning on going there the end of this month, but the plans have been pushed to September. Oh well. :) Thanks for the tips. Nice to know. Love the Sorcerer's Hat. It's a good look for you! :D
thanks for the tips! glad you had fun despite the letter too. we've went there on Christmas day a while ago, crazy busy. that's actually where Topher proposed. i said yes, spoiler alert! ;)
So fun! Good for you guys getting out and taking advantage of spring break I presume?
I think you and I should go to Disneyland together...just us two. Seriously would be so fun! :)
I friggin LOVE that place. Scott thinks I'm strange. I have my timing of vacations there down to an exact science. No joke. It takes actual research, lol. But it has worked 3 years in a row. I went once this year, and planning a 5 day trip in june, but still, I'm jealous...
I'm so glad you got to go!! Live and LEARN!! Soon,you will get like me and go 2-3 times a year!! :) (And, only off-season, TUes-thurs. :))Heehee!! I love you with Mickey! Too cute!!
