This book is a must for those traveling to theme parks with children, especially Disneyland. My family and I just spent three days at Disneyland and California Adventure and boy am I glad I read this book! I got a lot of neat information and tips from this book. It's easy to read and helps you plan before you even step foot into the park. Lots of info on rides, where to stay, where to eat, shows, etc. If you have small children, read this book before you take off for your trip.

I have not gone to Disneyland since buying this book, bu can say, from a recent trip, 3 years ago, this is excellent advice, and great reading. It actually gets you excited for a trip to Disneyland, or other southern California destination. The book includes Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, and light advice on San Diego, and other closer destinations, to Disneyland.

I haven't been this excited to visit Disneyland, since I was a kid, and now I have two to share it with.

Thanks to the writers of this fine book. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

Hot Dog! Hot Dog! Hot diggity Dog!!!

This is an excellent guide for Disneyland. I wish I had followed it's advise regarding the age guidelines for rides. The first ride I let my 4yr on was one that the book advised against. I spent the next 2 days convincing him that the rides at Disney are fun and safe. ( I took him on Roger Rabbit's toon car spin - very loud and hectic)

I would highly recomment this even to experienced Disney travelers if it is the first time with kids.
