Disneyland with Toddlers Based on Their Personalities

Disneyland with toddlers is pretty darn adorable.  But there’s so much to see and do at Disneyland!  How can you maximize the fun at Disney while making it the most fun for your little one?  Match your toddler’s personality and plan your day at Disney!

Character Cuddler

• Traits: Outgoing, friendly, always has something to say
• At Disneyland: Gleefully yells when they see their favorite characters IRL

Does your child fill with glee when he or she spots a princess or character? Character Courters fully embrace the magic of seeing their favorite Disney characters full-size and in-person. They hug, they pose, they squish their little arms close to their bodies in glee at meeting their heroes.

If your toddler is a Character Courter, try some of these attractions:

• Main Street, U.S.A-As you enter the park, be on the lookout for the Fab Five. Mickey Mouse and his pals are known to stop for photos here.
• Royal Hall- Meet up to 3 princesses within the Royal Hall, plus additional outside. Located within Disneyland, near Sleeping Beauty’s castle
• Pixie Hollow- TinkerBell & her fairy friends can be found on the opposite side of the Disneyland castle as you fly towards the Matterhorn.
• Avenger’s Campus– In Disney California Adventure Park, you can assemble with favorite heroes like Spider-Man.

Thrill Seeker

• Traits: Bold, adventurous, loves a good rush.
• At Disneyland: Wants to ride again and again—even if the ride is a little intense.

If your child loves the excitement of seeing Disney stories come to life, you have a Thrill Seekers.  Now waiting and toddlers don’t often mix, so make sure you check your Disneyland app to check for approximate wait times.

There are zillions of options, but these are some ideas to get you started:

• Fantasyland– Each ride within Fantasyland is perfect for younger guests. Iconic Dumbo, the King Arthur Carousel, and the Mad Tea Party are great places to start.
• The Many Adventure’s of Winnie the Pooh- We try to stick together as much as possible, but while my big kids are on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, my little one and I visit the Hundred Acre Woods. It’s as sweet as hunny!
• Cars Land-Drive into a replica of the town of Radiator Springs to ride attractions like Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree. The wacky spins will have your toddler saying, “Again!” again and again.
• Jumpin’ Jellyfish-Soar into the sky with jumping jellyfish who then glide back down to dry land.

Mega Mover

• Traits: Curious, energetic, always on the move
• At Disneyland: Wants to see everything—from rides to parades to snacks.

Is your little one on the go from sun up to sun down? Disneyland has fun for Mega Movers, too! Keep in mind these places that have a little more space for exploration and movement.

Try these options for some free-range fun:

• Toon Town– Explore Minnie & Mickey’s homes and get Goofy in Goofy’s Playhouse. While running & splashing in the fountain, hop on the instrument emblems on the ground for a musical surprise.
• Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson- Use up some of that boundless energy while scaling the numerous staircases into Adventureland Treehouse. At the bottom of the house, there are ropes to climb on & tons of explorer supplies to bang on.
• Redwood Creek Challenge Trail- This one’s my personal favorite for letting little ones let loose. Ropes bridges, slides, tunnels make for bursts of fun. There are animal footprints to follow, maps to scratch off, and LOTS of things to climb.

Show Stopper

• Traits: Quiet, cautious, takes time to warm up.
• At Disneyland: May hesitate to meet characters or ride attractions right away.

Perhaps more reserved, the Show Stopper likes to take it all in from a safe distance. The Show Stopper might also need a break from weather or a way to relax before nap time.

These live shows, parades, and other performances are perfect for watching the magic light up in your toddler’s eyes, like Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!

I’ve found that my toddler is primarily a Thrill Seeker. The closer we are to nap time or the way the wind blows can sway her into other profiles too. Having a guide map for the fun makes it easier to know which rides or attractions will suit her best.

The Meltdown-Prone Toddler (a.k.a. Every Toddler at Some Point)

• Traits: Overstimulated, overtired, needs extra patience.
• At Disneyland: Big feelings happen—whether it’s in line, during fireworks, or over the wrong churro color.

Tips for Parents:

• Have a “calm-down plan” (snacks, stroller ride, or shaded spot).
• Use rider switch if one parent needs to step out.
• Remember that meltdowns are part of the journey. Take a deep breath and reset.

FAQs About Toddlers at Disneyland

Does my toddler need a separate ticket?
Each guest ages 3 and older needs their own ticket and reservation. You can save on your family vacation with packages from Get Away Today.

What are the best rides for toddlers at Disneyland?
Some favorites include it’s a small world, Dumbo, Casey Jr. Circus Train, Jungle Cruise, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

How do I handle lines with a toddler?
Bring small toys, snacks, and play “I spy.” Genie+ can help shorten waits.

Can toddlers nap at Disneyland?
Yes! Many toddlers nap in their stroller, or you can head to quieter spots like like Tomorrowland near Autopia or Galaxy’s Edge near Rise of the Resistance.

Every toddler experiences Disneyland differently, and that’s what makes the memories so magical. Whether your little one is an Explorer, an Observer, or somewhere in between, a little planning and patience will help you enjoy the day together.

Pro tip: Capture your toddler’s unique personality with a Disneyland PhotoPass. It’s the perfect keepsake of who they were at this age.

Disney on Ice presents Road Trip Adventures Review

We were thrilled to be invited to check out the latest Disney on Ice show to pitstop through town. Road Trip Adventures has the premise of Mickey and friends on a trip that takes them to meet many of their Disney character besties. The car theming meant that a bunch of families were able to ride on the ice and be a part of the show. What a special memory for those selected.

However, it’s a truly magical memory for all who attend. This Disney on Ice show was SPECTACULAR! I’ve loved every single performance, but this show takes it to the next level. An Instagram follower even commented that this wasn’t the DOI of her childhood.

The Mary Poppins opening scene includes BMX bikers doing tricks, lamp lighter aerialists, plus songs from the new movie. The action and fun doesn’t slow down.

Another fantastic element is the movie projection. A circular screen descends throughout the performance with movie clips. Magically, characters appear on the ice once the screens are lifted. Even if you’ve seen every DOI performance, you won’t want to miss Disney on Ice presents Road Trip Adventures.

Growing up, Sunday nights were Disney nights. Having that special bit of magic to look forward to certainly made the evenings feel special. Now that I am an adult (even with some Peter Pan tendencies and fighting the whole “growing up” thing), it still brings me such joy to be able to curl up and watch my favorite characters on the screen.

Whether you’re going for a flashback like Bambi or a grossly underappreciated Emperor’s New Groove, this movie marathon has something for something for everyone.

It’s not a Disney day without a churro. According to Pop Sugar, 2.8 million churros are sold annually at the resort. With all of use drooling over the cinnamon sticks of magic, it’s no suprise the flavors are popping up in other forms. At Trolley Treats Candy Shop in Disney California Adventure, guests can enjoy a twist on the classic churro: Churro Toffee.

The oversized square of toffee is covered in white chocolate and cinnamon. It’s a glorious blend of buttery, crunchy toffee and cinnamon sweetness. It’s a newer Disney treat, and one that you 100% will fall in love with.

The treats are also sold in the Downtown Disney District at Marceline’s Confectionary. I snapped this photo of the delightful treat.

It’s worth every penny, of course, but I’m saving my pressed pennies for Disneyland tickets so I am so happy that the white chocolate and cinnamon-covered toffee can be made at home.

Check out this recipe to make your own Disneyland copycat recipe for Churro Toffee.

Disneyland Copycat Recipe: Churro Toffee

The Basics

Serving: 12 pieces
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Resting time: 60 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Ingredients

For Toffee:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 package Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers

For Toffee Coating:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

• Put parchment paper in a large baking pan.
• Add butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted.
• Allow the mixture to come to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture becomes a dark golden color.
• Continue to stir occasionally until the temperature reaches 285 degrees.
• As soon as toffee reaches temperature, pour it into the prepared baking sheet.

Baking Tip: At this point, you can leave whole. However, it will be easier for you to cut before it cools down. Cut when warm, going over your lines 4-5 times.

• Let set for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Melt the wafers according to package directions and cover all the squares.
• Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture and set for another 40 minutes.

If you did not cut it at the beginning, break toffee into pieces.
