DisneyLand

Was leaving the park last night and saw something that stuck with me. A woman next to us suddenly realized she was pushing an empty stroller. You could see the panic hit instantly. I flagged down security and they escorted her away right away. They moved fast, which was...

Just went to Disneyland for the first time since I was about 12, so roughly 20 years ago. I remember it being fun as a kid, but nothing that stuck with me in a huge way. I grew up in SoCal and somehow just never made it a priority. A lot of people around me had annual passes...

I don’t post much, but this honestly surprised me enough to share. I’ve been a longtime Disneyland regular. Usually stay on property, five day trips, a few times a year. For me, a lot of the magic was just being there. Walking around, grabbing a drink, people watching, soaking...

I know security has a tough job and I get why the rules are strict. Safety matters. But lately the way some security cast members talk to guests is really killing the mood right from the start. Disneyland used to feel welcoming the second you arrived. Now it feels like the first...

My son is 2 and a half and pretty tall for his age. Every time we enter, it turns into this awkward routine where the cast member asks for his ticket, I say he’s two, and then I get the whole “oh come on… sure buddy…” response. I even carry his passport with me just in case, but...

Quick heads up for anyone packing a backpack. We had been at Joshua Tree the day before Disneyland and forgot a small pair of binoculars in our bag, maybe 4x4 inches. Nothing crazy. We only had one day at Disneyland and got there early. At security, the guard spotted them and...

Now I only go once or twice a year and honestly the crowds are the main reason. I wouldn’t even mind paying $300+ for a day if it didn’t feel shoulder to shoulder nonstop. I keep hearing people say lower prices make it worse, but tickets were cheaper pre-Covid and this wasn’t...

We were at Disneyland for my daughter’s birthday and were in line for Snow White when security suddenly showed up and politely asked the man standing behind us to leave the park. He refused and stayed in line. More and more security arrived, blocked the line behind him, and...

Saw this KTLA story and honestly it’s hard to wrap my head around. A dad got seriously beaten in line for Indiana Jones because another family cut the queue. In front of kids. During the holidays. Over a ride. What really got me is the guy who got attacked didn’t even fight back...

Sharing this in case it helps someone else. I had my son buy two Disneyland ticket packages from Costco and he used self checkout. He’d never bought gift cards there before and didn’t realize you have to exchange the cardboard for the actual tickets. He walked right out with the...

We used those Costco 3-day tickets and went three times this year. Fun overall, but wow the place has changed. Prices are way higher, food felt cheaper (that clam chowder bread bowl used to be so good), and the crowds at Christmas were brutal. Galaxy’s Edge looks amazing but...

Bought the Multi Pass for my family at Disneyland this morning101 dollars for the three of us and we’ve only been able to use it once. We got into the park around 10am and everything was already booked out until late afternoon. Used it on Thunder Mountain and the standby line...

Really liked this breakdown from Travel + Leisure not just the usual one’s bigger stuff. I’ve done both parks more times than I can count, and it still made me think about what actually feels different between them. Disneyland has this tight, nostalgic charm you can’t replicate,...
