WDW Regular - First Time Planning For DL

[VancouverIslandDisney]

I go to WDW as often as financially possible but have never been to Disneyland. The fiance and I are planning on using some “must use” vacation time for a trip down in April.

What are the MUST DO attractions and foods to try when we are there? I have a list of things I want to fit in but always open to suggestions.

If you have YouTube channels that you recommend I’d love to check them out.

Here's a list (@BrianL is there a more recent posting from you directly?) that compares the rides in FL and CA. For example, unless you like to visit Galaxy's Edge on every trip, you can skip it at DL because it's identical to WDW.

Someone created this amazing massive list that's all of the rides that are carbon copy clones at Disneyland and WDW, rides that are totally unique to Disneyland, and rides that exist in both parks but there are slight differences between them. I think the list would be helpful for you. I can't remember who created the list, but I am sure someone reading this will know exactly what I am talking about and will either tag the person who created it, or find it and post it in a reply.

@BrianL created it. I think this is the most recent version.
