Need Major Advice!?!?!?!What to do at DCA with a 9, 3 and one year old

[Jenhwyfar]

Hi all!

My husband is away on business and I wanted to do something fun with the kids while he is gone. We have annual passes and I thought that DCA would be a little more manageable than Disneyland as far as crowds and attractions for the little ones.

What would you suggest for the ages 9 3 and 1?

TIA!

Jenn

The older one might want to do the big rides (California Screamin, ToT) but I don't know. If the others don't want to ride, there are single rider lines for:
-California Screamin
-Soarin
-Grizzly River Run
-Mulholland Madness
-Maliboomer

For the younger two, A Bugs Land has 4 rides just for them. Also don't miss Turtle Talk w/ Crush in the Animation Building. A ride you will all enjoy is the Monster's Inc. dark ride in Hollywood Pictures Backlot.

I don't know how much the younger ones are into Playhouse Disney, but there's an excellent Playhouse Disney show at DCA, though the older one might be bored.

Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is a huge area just to run around and tire them out. There's caves, lookout towers, climbing walls, and a tire zipline thing.

Then on Paradise Pier there are a couple rides that the younger ones might enjoy such as King Triton's Carousel and Golden Zephyr.
