As you can see by our trip history, we are seasoned WDW visitors. DL - never. Until this August! Two days planned on our way to HAWAII and we have little knowledge of the park. So...me, DW, DS16 & DS14 need to know 1 or 2 must see or must do or must eat suggestions to make the most of a short visit. Thanx!! :thumbsup:

Pirates of the Caribbean is so much better at Disneyland. Make sure you ride it.
In addition to the above suggestions
Blue Bayou (the restaurant inside of the Pirates ride) is not to be missed.
The Matterhorn


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm a Disney travel agent who's never been to Disneyland. In order to help people plan DL trips, I bought a great book - The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2016. It's been very helpful! Hoping to talk hubby into a trip out west in the next year so I can experience it for myself.
