Yes it's true this will be our first EVER trip to either park . We are going to Dinseyland April 23rd while we are out there for a week to visit friends . It falls on a Wednesday so I hope we picked a good day to go . We have 2 small girls ( as does our friends who have passes and visit regularly ) . So we want to plan the day around the girls ! As much help Im sure our friends will be just wanted someone elses experience . Especially with rides my youngest will like ! Any advice on must see rides and must HAVE shops is greatly appreciated ! Our girls are 7 yrs old ( almost 8 ) and youngest will be almost 21 months old . TIA !

The park is open 9am-10pm that day. Make sure you are there a bit early so you can hit the rides right when it opens and head for the Fantasyland rides first. Dumbo and Peter Pan have the longest lines that typically don't let up all day. I recommend getting those rides done first.

If you want to make sure and meet Mickey, head to Toontown and visit him at his house. Toomtown typically opens one hour after the park opens. There are also many attractions there for younger kids.

Your girls are the perfect age for the Princess Fantasy Faire so make sure you make time for that.

Don't forget to stop by City Hall and get your "First Visit" buttons.

Have a good visit!!

How great to be visiting Disneyland for the day. We loved it. There's plenty for your girls to do there - I would definitely hit Dumbo and Peter Pan early on. We also loved Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh and thought that Toontown had some wonderful theming to it.

If you need a break...and if it's open...Aladdin's Oasis is a nice stop...the girls can meet Aladdin and Jasmine there...

Head over to Critter Country to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. They have a great meet and greet area for Winnie, Tigger & Eeyore.

Great time to go! That is when we did our first every Disney vacation in 2001! On a Wed. the crowds should be very manageable. Have a great time!!!

All of the above suggestions are great I would also add the Aladdin show at DCA the girls and adults will love it

As for shopping, my DD LOVES Five & Dime in Toontown. It is a fun store, and she can spend hours in there! Have a magical time!

for your girls,

i definately agree with hitting Dumbo and peter pan first. Check out the alice in wonderland ride, it is very cute if they like the story. the Tea cups are out in the open so that is pretty cool. So is the entrance to Its a small world.

Adult wise, check out Matterhorn Bobsleds and Indiana Jones ( attraction not available in WDW). Disneyland, is nice cause the castle and the carousel is themed to sleeping beauty not to cinderella.

have fun
