Walt and Mickey Statue

You can't get anymore iconic than the Walt and Mickey Statue at the end of Main Street. The plaque reads: "I think most of all what I want Disneyland to be is a happy place...Where parents and children can have fun, together. -Walt Disney"
On our last trip our oldest son Max decided that every time he came to Disneyland he would take his picture in front of this statue. It is a cool idea because as a senior in high school his life from here on out will be ever changing. Someday he will have a wife and kids too and they will be in his picture too!

Tip #11
Make sure you have your tickets before you get to the park! First, you avoid the lines at the ticket booths, and second it will save you money! If you go HERE you can see just how much you are saving by buying them in advance.

As you enter the park for the first day of a multiple pass, they will take your picture so it is attached to your pass. You will not be able to use someone else pass. They do this for security reasons.

Churro

The Disneyland Churro. Yes, it deserves its own post. It even has its own Facebook page. They are oh so delicious and worth every penny. If you only buy 1 snack in the park, it better be a churro! I love to grab one right before the parade at this stand on Main Street.

Ice Cream Parlor

Down Main Street on the left hand side is the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. What could be better than Disneyland and Ice Cream!

I love the old fashioned decor of the parlor. The cast members even dress the part.

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln

Just as you come onto Main Street on the right hand side is an attraction that many people walk right by. This is one of our favorite spots to go when it is hot or crowded. Inside you can watch the short program with an animatronic Abraham Lincoln giving portions of his Gettysburg Address. In the lobby there is also a large display of Disneyland history memorabilia. There is also a movie you can watch about the history of Disneyland. Next time it's hot or crowded check it out!

Peter Pan's Flight

Peter Pan's Flight is one of the original rides at Disneyland, so it has been there since 1955.
It is the first ride in Fantasyland when you come through the castle. I think that is why the line is ALWAYS super long. I am always shocked that even at 10:00 at night the line stays long. The ride is about 2 minutes long and takes you flying above London and Neverland. All ages can ride it.

The Magic the Memories and You

In the evenings at It's a small world, there is an amazing show projected on the face of the attraction. It is quite the sight to behold! It is a light show that incorporates photographs of park guests. Yep, you can be in the show! On our last visit a cast member took several photos of my children in Fantasyland and then informed us we may be in the show, and we were. Four out of five of my children were featured. It is a super cool show that you MUST see!
