Show me Disneyland!!

[Tink412]

Ok so I have always been a WDW girl, and after being there 17 times, am itching to come to the west to Disneyland! However, I know that the travel dvd won't explain it or show it to me as well as my fellow DISers!! I am now blessed with some family over in California and I want to plan a trip to go visit them as well as DL. So show me everything and tell me the good bad and ugly please! And as many pictures as you can manage! Thank you so much! And feel free to throw your WDW questions at me

Here is a good starting point.

I would also say that a great place to start would be over in the Disneyland Trip Reports section of the board - http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27. That way, you can see all sort of pictures from all of our trip reports, including hotels, restaurants, attractions, PhotoPass, characters, good and bad reviews, etc. Anything you can possibly imagine.

There are so many great TR's, but some of the ones to look out for are the TR's of: Mariezp, DizNee Luver, WazowskiLOVER, Prettyprincessbelle, Bumbershoot, Belle Ella, Pmama, Momto2nenas, just to name a very few. Again, there are so many wonderful ones it is hard to pick a favorite, but those will get you in the mood for a trip to DLR and give you lots of info as well.

I am bumping this in case anyone else has some more info to share with you.

Now, if you want to see lots of photos, here are some of the essential DLR photo threads that will give you quite a complete overview of what is to be found at DLR, food-wise, character-wise, hotel-wise, holiday-wise, etc., etc.:

Anything else you need to know or see photos of, all you have to do is ask away and someone will have the info/photos for you! This is a fantastic group of people here on the DLR side of the DIS, and everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable!
