First Disneyland trip this summer!

[BLTdad]

Looking to maximize the trip, only going to be there 3 days. Would appreciate any must dos or tips. Thanks!

3 days is a great number for Disneyland! You should be able to do all of the major attractions easily and have time for lots of smaller attractions and diversions.

I'm guessing from your user name that you're a WDW guy, so start here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/a-dlr-guide-for-wdw-vets.1162599/
