When the kids are older I have a feeling we will include Indie, SM and Splash in this list

At DCA:

Ride
Soarin'
Jumpin Jelly Fish
Orange Stinger for Dd
Playhouse Disney
Golden Zepher for Ds3 <----also nuts about this one. Glad there is never a line.

Watch ELP if it's on that night.

Then we have to walk through Libby Lu and World of Disney in DTD
 

Our must do's on each trip:

DL:
Teacups (DD#2 favorite)
BTMRR (DD#1 favorite)
Matterhorn (My favorite)
Alice
Casey Jr.
Take picture by the staircase in NOS.
Take picture at the entrance (mickey flower bed)
Ride the horse drawn street car
Eat at Carnation Cafe
Get a corn dog (when DH comes)
Watch the parade
Fireworks are a must for me if they are happening

DCA:
Broccoli and Cheese breadbowl
Carousel (DD#2 favorite)
Grizzly (DD#1 favorite) unless it's freezing out, then we must skip!
Brother Bear area to get some energy out before trip home.

Thanks Andrea, I totally forgot the Alice ride on my list. If Ds3 could read he would have noticed this mistake. He calls it "The Funny Ride". I'll say who wants to go on Alice in Wonderland and he has no clue what I'm talking about but when we get there he says "Mom this is called "The Funny Ride" He is crazy about this one.
 
Yes there is just something about it! I have loved the part where you head out on the leaves since I was a little girl. The catepillars shoes and rabbit tracks are what my kids think are so cool!!

Can't forgot the end explosion "Oh my beautiful cake!"

Andrea
 
A good deal of the rides, if not all of them, but that's a given.

If any of the following are down for our entire planned length of stay, I'm not going...


POTC
Splash
Matterhorn
BTMRR
HM
F! dessert buffet


We had a trip planned for last May, but after changing my dates to avoid the ever-changing Pirates premier schedule (no pirates ride, no F!) THREE times, we gave up and didn't go at all last year.

So it will have been two years since we've been when we get there this June. I guess the added bonus will be that Space mtn. will be open (it was closed the other two times we've gone as a family), and hopefully Nemo as well.:banana:
 
Sorry for the bad pics. I'm learning how to rotate and resize my pictures to post on here and obviously I'm not very good yet!

We always have to take a picture here just through security

DisneyaHolic23,

I am sorry I killed your great thread with my GINORMOUS pictures!!! I probably gave everyone a neck kink looking at them and then they couldn't type. My apologies at being so bad at pictures. :guilty: :rotfl:
 
Very cute pics, AZ! I had the same problem with the PB & J thread, don't sweat it! We like to take them in front of the door also!

Andrea
 
Thanks! We have the same pics taken each year at these places they have chosen and it's fun to watch them grow. Now if anyone has picture advice for me feel free to PM me with it! Thanks now back to the thread......
 
What are the things you MUST do on every visit to Disneyland and/or California Adventure? :thumbsup2


Usually my visits are 3 hrs or less, unless I am with friends or relatives from outta town... :) ....and my Must Do Attractions unless I am spending the full day at the parks are... Cali Screamin' and Buzz Lightyear.


...and big cheers to the California Screamin` CM's... :cool2: :wizard:
:thumbsup2
 
Everything I can squeeze in! The rides and shows are obvious.

But one other thing we must do--go to Brrrrbank Ice Cream!

My kids still talk about it, we love it there!

And go to Rainforest Cafe on our last day, and ESPN on our first day. Our kids are real sticklers for tradition. They think if we did it once, we have to do it every time!
