So Disneyland is Disneyland....Lots of characters to visit, lots of rides and experiences to explore, queues and overpriced food. However, you are going to Disneyland, this is what its all about.The number 1 tip we can provide you is GO EARLY. The attendance at the part litterally triples around 3pm. Between 10:30am and 2pm there are nearly NO queues at any entertainment   rides then it hits 2 3pm and the most popular rides have 30 50 mins waits. You CAN bring in water (I took in three bottles and showed them when entering and was let straight through) and a small amount of food, just don't bring a picnic. Sure the food is overpriced and substandard but this IS expected in theme parks. Just accept that...Head early, bring water, and let your imagination run away with the fun of Disneyland...
