This park sucks.

Some of my favorite memories of growing up in California is going to Disneyland three or four times a year. It was a magical place then, and I'm sure it hasn't changed. I left California in 1974 and never looked back. I've been to Disneyworld three times, and it just doesn't feel like Disneyland. Nothing can beat the original!

I have been SOOOOO many times I have lost count. I have been a passholder for almsot three years, and I NEVER get sick of going. California Screamin is definitely the best ride!!!!

Along with Epcot Disneyland is the greatest theme park I ever been to. I can't wait for the 50th anniversary to come. DCA was okay but Disneyland is so great I'll give it 5 stars.

I visited Disneyland when I was very young, then got to go back 30 years later. I was amazed that so little had changed. Even the trash receptacles looked like the exact same ones. Although there were a few new rides (and some old ones no longer there), it was so much like it had been years ago that it was like stepping into a time capsule. It's very clean & if you don't waste your money on the overpriced refreshment stands, it's worth the money. I'm glad I got to take my own children to walk through nearly the same experience I'd had so long ago.

What a magnificent Park!!! The cast members are polite and helpful (99% of the time), and you are blessed with great California weather. Take advantage of the FastPass system...they will always pay off. Best value restaurants to go to are Pizza Port in Tomorrowland and Cafe Del Zocolo in Fronteirland. Great food. Stay away from anyplace that serves burgers and fries....if you need such an apertife, try Award Wieners at Disney California Adventure....or pretty much any other restaurant. I worked for the park for nearly 10 years...in the 90's...and I noticed that pretty much every restaurant built after Pizza Port actually had taste and value.....all others stear clear of. Want a good burger....go to MacDonalds across the street ( it not Disney owned....so you are not paying outrageous prices like at the MCD in Disneyworld).

disneyland is the best palce in the world i have loved since i was as little as i can remember. i love the theme of their rides! that is why i mark Disneyland california a 5 on June 2, 2003

Having lived near Disneyland for more than 20 years, i have had more than my share of times to visit,but went more than 10 years between my last visit and theis past week. I am so impresssed with the new Disney look and the way they process the long lines. Best to go during the week

Let me start by saying that I have never been to DisneyWorld in Florida so my Disneyland experience might be different to someone who can compare the two but the times that I have been to Disneyland, I loved it. I went a couple of times as a kid and it was my heaven. I would run around taking my picture (all embarssed but so excited) with characters like Alice In Wonderland, Snow White, Micky. I loved the rides, the stores, the shows. It is really hard to remember a lot from back then but when I was a freshman in college, I met my family (ages ranging from 19-8)there for Easter. We had these passes that got us into the park at 6am before the gates were open to the public and could ride the rides with no lines. It was pretty hard waking up but well worth it. It was right when the Indiana Jones ride came out and the line was usually 3 hours long but we rode it 3 times. It was great. My favorite rides include, Magic Mountain, The Jungle Ride, It's a Small World (I know it may annoy some people but it was a big memory from childhood, so I love it still), The Pirate's Carabiean (I have never eaten at the restaurant but have always wanted to) and The Submarine Ride. We all had so much fun. You definitely become a kid again when you go there. It is expensive, especially taking a family there but there are a lot of package deals you can get. I love DisneyLand.

This park is good, but not great. I went here when I was in college and enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, but it still did not live up to expectations. It was not that clean, the lines were huge and for some reason, it did not live up to the Disney park in Florida. It had almost all of teh same rides and features, but it just was not the saem. It was really expensive too - maybe I am remembering that because i was a college freshman at the time, but I would have been able to have like 3 or 4 more crazy night in Tia Juana for the same amount of cash I dropped at this park.

If you're in the LA region and you've never been before you've gotta go to Disneyland, I don't care how old you are. I went when I was about 18 and even though I hate crowds, and that's one thing you're sure to experience, I still had a great time. I don't know that I'd go back again and again but it's just such a wacked out place with so much going on it's almost worth going just for the people watching. Not to mention that they've got some great rides there as well.
