We took our 3 and 5 year old daughters to CA for spring break, we flew into San Diego Diego spent the first two days at Legoland before surprising the girls with Disney. This was my second time at the park and the first for my kids. As a young adult guest 8 years ago, it truly did seem like the most magical place on Earth. I remember the fireworks at the end of the night being the most impressive I've ever seen. However, traveling with children provided a much different experience. To be honest, these are my adult thoughts. I believe they enjoyed themselves. My problem was with paying a small fortune for admission only to find the castle was closed, maybe I was supposed to search online to find this out but in calling Disney the day prior, being on a long hold and listening to their hold spiel, they never mentioned any renovations and it wasn't posted at the gate either. Maybe I'm expecting too much in Disney's full disclosure before I spent my money? Also, I paid for the maxpass, for the photos it was great!!! I instantly possessed my photos and loved that feature. We hung out/wasted time in toontown after standing in line for what felt like forever to meet Mickey, so that we could ride the Roger Rabbit ride, only for it to malfunction right as we're assigned a boarding lane. We were told we'd be compensated via the app, but every time I tried to do this, the app crashed so that ended our maxpass use. It was also disappointing that there were no fireworks at the end of the night. Instead, they displayed cartoons to music down Mainstreet USA (it was ok but not as cool as the fireworks I remember). What I give credit to Disneyland for are the character interactions. Tigger and Pooh were fantastic, making time for both of my girls to not only take photos but also interact with them! Outside of the maxpass malfunction, castle being closed and no fireworks navigating the park with a stroller and the stroller parking lots were not fun but a component of #parentlife
