With the good ticket deals for military we will be taking a quick trip to Disneyland this summer. We will be there for 7 nights the first week of August. We have never been to Disneyland so I am clueless. I need help!!! Please tell me anything and everything a family of four (DD 6 and DS 1) will need to know. We have booked a Disneyland view room at HOJO and we will be driving. Oh we will have 5 days ay Disney and one day at Knottsberry Farms. TIA
 
since you have some time, I would start by reading the sticky threads at the top of the thread list, and review a few pages of postings. Also the brown links at the top of the page are links to the planning guide :)
 
Hi purplepaint! I agree....just keep reading, reading, reading! This is a great site with a wealth of information! You have plenty of time to do your homework and study then ask questions if there is something you don't understand!
 
Hi, and welcome to the boards...just FYI the Military Salutes Disneland Tickets are only good through Jun 12th...no longer...the Disneworld Tickets are good through Dec 23rd. Just want to let you know before you booked anything..for we are going in August as well, but the tickets will not be free unless Disneyland changes their dates {which I do not forsee happening}...and you will learn ALOT form all the great folks on this board!~

Opps I did not realize there were any free ones. :scratchin I was talking about the ITR price of 175 for a five day adult. Unfortunately we are going to stick with our August plans because that is when they DH will have block leave. Is it crowded in August?
 
DL is crowded all summer. Just be prepared for it and you'll be fine!! If you've been to WDW during those months, it'll be the same crowds I'd assume. I've been a DL AP holder for 6 years, but refuse to go in the summer. Too many people for me. But I did go once in July, if you know you are going to have long waits and plan your day out, you'll be okay. Most people get cranky over the lines during the summer, but thats what you get when you go when school is out.

Since you are new to DL, you must go on Indiana Jones, the best ride ever!!! :) Also you MUST have a Dole Pinapple whip...the best thing on the face of the earth for sure!!!

We have been to Disneyworld many times all in the summer and never really been bothered by the crowds so I guess that’s good. I am so excited to find out they have Dole whips in Disneyland. That is our favorite Disney snack!!
 
Mine too!! Sometimes I have tried thinking of ways to bring a cooler to buy extra, dreaming of ways to take more pineapple whips home! They are right when you go into Adventureland, right outside the Tiki Room!!! Have a great trip!
