Do we have time to go to Disneyland?

[perpetua]

Hi,
My husband and 2 DD's (ages 2 and 5) will be coming back into the US from a Mexican Riviera cruise on NCL. We did a Disney Cruise last year and the girls are constantly talking about how excited they are to see Mickey and the Princesses (they are a bit confused).
We get off of the ship around 9:00am on Sunday, January 27th and we have a LAX airport hotel booked for that night. We leave out of LAX on Monday, January 28th at about 5:00.
So, should we try to do Disney or should we do something else? If we do Disney, I am thinking we would cancel our LAX hotel and try to stay near the park. My girls are very laid back and would be pretty happy with anything...even swimming in the hotel pool. But, if we can fit some more fun in...it would be great!
Thanks!

Sure, I would. You won't be able to see everything obviously. But I'd never miss an opportunity to go to DL!

Flight from LAX..... 5:00am or 5:00pm ?

Here's a thread where much of what you asked was discussed.

A few thoughts:

- Yes do DLR.
- Staying at one of the 3 DLR hotels will give you Monday morning Early Entry for a magical Fantasy Land tour.
- Know how FP works (how it is different from WDW).
- Read HydroGuy's sticky on DLR for WDW Vets. (it's in my link above). In fact, read it twice.

Have a great time if you decide to come to Walt's park.

Definitely go. If they really want to see the princesses, you will want to go to the Princess Fantasy Faire in the back of Fantasyland. They will have fun even if it is for a day or two half days.
