Dragging two young kids to Disneyland -- it's as difficult as you might think. But it's holiday time at Disneyland. Plus Blogger Kid had a day off from school, and friends of ours (thanks, S and A!) had extra park passes our way.
The Monday after Thanksgiving was crowded, but not nearly as packed as I imagine the holiday weekend was. Besides, the secret to bringing two small children to Disneyland is simple: Don't overdo it. They're just happy to be there. Take them on a few rides, and you're good.
In other words, Space Mountain is not an option.
But there are plenty of other rides, with fast-moving lines, to satisfy both a 5 1/2-year-old and a 1-year-old. The Dumbo ride, the Mark Twain riverboat, "It's a Small World," Autopia (for the older one), the double-decker bus around Main Street USA, and more.
(Captain EO? As it turned out, the Michael Jackson tribute isn't such a good idea for the little ones. Lesson learned.)
It was Nathan's first time at Disneyland, and Blogger Baby 2.0 had a blast. His older brother also had his most fun yet at the park. Another secret: We left before the fireworks -- and the crowds.
