Sometimes the original is still the best. Disneyland Park, the only Disney park conceived and created by Walt Disney in his lifetime, remains an amazing destination for kids young and old. I spent the day at both the Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim, California. The Disneyland Park retains its special magic for me and I enjoyed every second of my day there. Disney continues to focus on the guest experience and and delivers, as they have since the park opened in 1955.

Using Disney’s Park Hopper ticket ($155 or $134 for So Cal residents) I was able to move between the two great parks. I spent most time in the original part, known at Disneyland Park. It was amazing to ride favorites like “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride”, “Pirates of the Caribbean” and the “Jungle Cruise”

 

 We visited the park on a Tuesday, but since it was Spring Break, it was quite crowded. The lines moved quickly and Disney’s FastPass system means you can put yourself on a virtual list, then return later at a specific time with no waiting.
