Walt Disney once said: Its kind of fun to do the impossible.

while you’re able to.

That was part of the impetus for our last trip.

Crowds and heat will be minimal first thing in the morning, allowing you to maximize your magic.

Okay, a bit of controversy here.

I know, who would want to miss out on this amazing new experience?

(A single banana can cost around $2 at the park.)

Applesauce or other squeeze packets and granola barsthese travel easily and are a quick snack.

A budget for souvenirsora pre-purchased stash.A note about souvenirs.

One thing Disney expects is that you will buy shirts, toys and other goodies to commemorate your trip.

(Older kids may like earning a pre-loaded gift card they can spend as they like.)

If you like to pre-plan, this is a good way to do so.

Stroller or no stroller?

Heres where things get a little controversial once again.

Im going to tell you to skip the stroller.

(Wagons are no longer permitted.)

One quick no-brainer: Download theofficial Disneyland app.

Alternatively, Disneyland offers fuel rods around the park for sale.

And with nearly 20-minutes to circle the park, its another nice way to wind down.

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.This is another relaxing ride that toddlers love, though skip it if you get claustrophobic.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant.A classic.

With character meals and meet and greets around the park, its hard to know what to plan for.

If you want downtime and easy access to characters, plan for one of the character breakfasts.

Currently, Disneyland offers just one parade twice dailyMickeys Soundsational Parade.

This is a great opportunity to relax and share a snack.

If so, definitely take advantage ofRider Switch.

Just ask a Cast Member and they will direct your family to one of these quiet locations.

Unless youre traveling with an older child who isnt inhibited by height restrictions, skip the new digital MaxPass.

For the hotel, I also recommend bringing some light rope andCommand hooks.
