How to Have a Kid-Friendly Disneyland Vacation
It’s not all fun and games on a Disneyland vacation. There are many things that can really drain your energy such as the lines, the hot sun, and searching for the next attraction to visit. Little children can slow you down further. That is why you have to be ready if you are planning to take along your kids.
It is more ideal to come during the off-peak season if you are bringing kids. Autumn is a good time because the weather is cooler and less people are at the park. Also, the transportation rates are cheaper.
The reason why not a lot of people come in the autumn is that not all the rides and attractions are open. Disneyland utilizes the off-peak season for renovation and maintenance. You can check the websites for details regarding ride schedules. This will avoid the disappointment of finding that your favorite ride is closed.
Another thing that you should check on their site is the set of park rules. Some rules specifically apply to kids, such as dress codes and minimum height per ride. It is also a good idea to take note of locations of feeding stations and places where you can change diapers, if you are bringing a very young child along.
Above all considerations make sure that your kids’ safety is ensured. Children are prone to getting lost in crowds, no matter how small. Do inform your kids about the possible dangers so that they would be careful about wandering around. Also make sure that they are briefed on what to do and who to approach before you embark on your Disneyland vacation.
You also have to consider comfort. In the summer, and especially with all the people, you and your children may be feeling warm. Some things that you can bring just in case are sunscreen, towels, and other keep-cool essentials. You might also want to pack a change of clothes for the kids in case of little accidents. In autumn or at night, bringing sweaters would be advisable.
Some of the rides are strictly for adults. If you are planning to go on one, and cannot leave the child, ask the attendant if you can tote the child along. If there are two adults present, you can take turns. You might even be given the privilege of getting into a shorter line.
Your kids may not want to go on rides. This should not be a problem because there are attractions for small kids who just want to run around and play. You can head off to Tom Sawyer’s Island or Toon Town.
It won’t be a cinch to keep your Disneyland vacation running as smoothly as you would want, especially while your kids are around. But if you prepare judiciously and are specific about what your plans are, you can enjoy the trip to the maximum.
