I’ve been an avid user and self-proclaimed FASTPASS expert for many years, because, let’s face it, waiting in long lines with impatient kids is not ideal. Even with my careful planning and expert user status, however, any number of issues including no FASTPASS availability for my selected attraction after having walked to the queue, a return time too late in the day, and even broken attractions often interfered with my best-laid plans. Since its release last summer, Disney MaxPass has virtually eliminated all of the aforementioned pitfalls, effectively changing the way I Disney.

Quick Breakfast Options at the Disneyland Resort
in All Posts, dining, disney california adventure, disneyland, disneyland resort, downtown disney
We’ve all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and eating a decent breakfast before your day at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure is no exception (for me, it keeps the queasiness away on certain rides)! Some days you might have a leisurely breakfast planned out ahead of time, and some days you just want to eat something quick as you run speedwalk to Radiator Springs Racers before the crowds show up. So today we are going to put table service aside and focus on what quick service options are available for breakfast at the Disneyland Resort. DOWNTOWN DISNEY:...
Everything Parents Need to Know About the Disneyland App
July 8, 2018 in All Posts, disneyland resort, Tips & Tricks for Families
The Official Disneyland Resort app makes navigating the parks a whole lot easier, and here at Babes In Disneyland, we rely on it each and every time we’re in the parks.

If you haven’t yet used or downloaded the app it is available for iOS (click here to download it) and for Android (available on Google Play here). Here are the things we think parents (and grandparents, aunts, and uncles) will...

in All Posts, disney california adventure, disneyland resort
It’s hot, hot, HOT at the Disneyland Resort and temperatures look like they’ll be high for at least the next week. If you are looking for a place for your toddler or preschooler to cool off and have fun, pack a change of clothes and head over to Princess Dot Puddle Park at Disney California Adventure Park. The best part is that directly across from the puddle park is a family restroom where you can change your children into their dry clothing afterward. Also, be sure to make note that children must wear shoes, so consider bringing sandals or...

in All Posts, other so cal tourist attractions
On Monday, July 2, my 8- and 10-year old sons and I made the trek to LEGOLAND California. It was the first time we have visited in about 7.5 years, and I can tell you that A LOT has changed in that amount of time. Not only are my boys a lot older, but there is so much more to do, see and experience. Plus, my boys are REALLY into LEGO, so they were in heaven the entire day. We were invited to attend and cover the opening of LEGOLAND California’s newest ride, LEGO City: Deep Sea Adventure, on...

June 28, 2018 in All Posts, disney california adventure, disneyland resort
Paint the Night is one of the best parts of the Disneyland Resort after dark and with the addition of the new Incredibles float, it’s even better. The new bridges “The Incredibles” and “Incredibles 2” by picking up where the first film left off and portraying the scene that shows the Parr family banding together against the supervillain known as “The Underminer.” A post shared by Babes In Disneyland (@babesindisneyland) on Jun 23, 2018 at 9:41pm PDT Here’s what to look for when you check out the Incredibles float in the Paint the Night Parade in person!
