Help tips needed for Disneyland on 4/20 & 4/21. It's the only time we can go.

My kids (ages 6 and 11) have been looking forward to this trip for 2 years. Unfortunately my hubby's work days are crazy and we have kept postponing over and over again. Finally we have 2 sure days which are the week of spring break Wed 4/20 and Thurs 4/21. It's the only 2 days we are sure we can go.

Please I know it's going to be crazy busy, but the kiddos don't care. Any advice, tips, to making our way thru to get the most in would be greatly appreciated.

Would love some expert advice.

Thanks

We are leaving the day before you arrive. I'd get one of the touring books (we like the Unofficial Guide) and follow the two day touring plan. Use Fast Passes and make sure to eat before the restaurants get too crowded, which will slow you down. Good luck and have fun.

You're going during a time when you can get 25% off at selected times for dining. Here is the coupon:

A similar one is available for WDW which was posted on the budget boards.

Tips: Fastpass. If you like Space Mountain, get that right away (right after park opening) as those seem to go fast. Then hop on Buzz and Thunder Mountain before getting a FP for Indiana Jones. Then hop on Pirates and Haunted Mansion.

Thanks HBC and Starry. I will look into the Unoffical guide to Disneyland and thanks for the coupon. Never thought they had coupons for disney dining. : )

They rarely do. This is only the 2nd time I've ever seen something like this. Take advantage if at all possible. Food is pricey!
