My friend is taking her girls for their first ever visit to Disneyland this week and I am so jealous! It's been nearly a year since our last Disney trip! Yes, I am going thru major with drawls! And since we here at Mang World are self-proclaimed Disney Experts, we have put together some of our favorite Disney Tips and Mang World Disney Rules. Yep, we have rules for Disney. Without further ado....
Act your Disney Age. What is your Disney age you may ask? Well it's simple take your real world age and add the numbers together. I am 32 but my Disney age is 5. 3+2=5
Eat a Mickey Bar at least once a day every day. There are no calories at Disney, besides you'll be walking a lot. They are especially good for breakfast. =)
Sing out loud and sing proud! Come on- you know the songs! Besides, when will you see any of the people around you again? If you are going with family, they already know you are crazy.
Make sure to see they characters! The lines may be long, but it is a MUST! Make sure to get a family photo, it's not just for kids! Some of our favorite family photos have our extended Disney family in them!
Give your kid $5 or $10 to spend on whatever they choose. Yeah, they may choose a shot glass or some silly pen or something you may think is ridiculous, it's ok! It's all about the memories!
Do your shopping early! Do NOT wait until the end of the day! Buy early and have them hold your package at the front of the park so you don't have to lug it around all day.
Buy Mickey Ears! Everyone has to have at least one pair of ears with their name on the back. I myself have several pairs.
Don't force your kids to have fun by playing the money card! Can't tell you how many times we have heard parents yell at their kids to have fun because this trip cost them a lot of money! Kids get overwhelmed and tired!
If that happens, this is the perfect time for that Mickey Bar or a beverage, find a quiet spot to regroup, do a little people watching and relax for a bit!
Talk to strangers in line! Some of our favorite memories are of the friends we made while standing in line. Like the family from Montana who by the time we got to the front of the line we were suddenly a party of 7. We spent a few hours with them that day.
And now for some rules. We have three major rules at Mang World.
1. You must ride every ride or see every attraction at least once. If you decide that you are scared or don't like it after the fact then it is your choice to not do it again. If I had skipped out on some of the rides I thought would scare me I would have missed out on some of my favorites!
2. Arms up as you go down! It just makes the ride that much more exciting! Especially Splash Mountain and Tower of Terror!
3. Most of all, live Disney through the eyes of a child. Even if you have done something a million times, experience it as if it were your first time. Take the cues from your children. Skip down Main Street holding hands. Admire the princesses in awe and remember how you once dreamed of being her- for this trip you are! People always ask us if we ever get tired of Disney or why we would go again after being so many times- this rule is why we go and never get tired of it! There is always something new to see and do!
