My sisters and nephews went there last April 29, early Monday. If you leave within Anaheim or nearby area, it is best to go there early to avoid heavy traffic. We parked at 2nd level number 6 (yeah, that's why it's Daisy 6). They allow bottled water and food inside- small bottles and flasks for water and small food package for food (we brought cheese rolls from Portos). Am not sure if they allow other types of drinks.
We did not take the fast pass ticket, so we patiently waited on the stand by lane. Waiting time is indicated on each area's entrance, thus enabling one to organize the day's activities.
We were able to take Matterhorn Bobled (super worth the wait man!). In the Splash Mountain ride, I removed my shoes and placed them in my bag. Haha I came out dry, while the others were soaked! We didnt buy raincoats there. However, got a huge splash from the Pirates of the Carribean ride hahaha :)
If you did not bring extra clothes, you can buy a change of clothes there. But if the budget is a consideration, you may use the hand dryers found in restrooms. I saw several kids and teens trying to dry their leggings and hair.
While waiting in the Big Thunder mountain railroad, I noticed a couple of Coca cola cups by the stream I just hope guests will be sensible enough to use the rubbish bins that are located all over the park!
We immensely enjoyed the cave mazes and barrell bridge on Pirates Lair on Sawyer's Island. Quite chilly on Mark Twain River boat, have to bring your jacket. We stayed on the 3rd level, view was spectacular!
Disneyland Railroad twice, this served as leisure plus rest time. There are available tables and seats for those who wish to eat but we just ate while queuing for the rides.
We were able to take pictures with Minnie Mouse (but her house was closed that time huhu), Goofy, Mickey Mouse (amazing items in his house), Eeyore and Tigger in the garden. I love Tigger's bright orange and black colors. Eeyore was fun, surprisingly haha :)
For one day, we were also able to see underwater in the submarine voyage. Amazing sights!
If your child is not much into scary stuff, do not go to the Haunted Mansion. Kids were crying :(
It was great to see the "parking" for walkers/ strollers.
20 min before faireworks, make sure you find a good spot along Main street. They place guide ropes and vacated some areas, make sure you do not get lost in the crowd.
Several people were smoking by the entrance/ticket area :(
