Mummies, what are some of the concerns you have when planning a family trip to Disneyland with a 5yo and a 2yo?

I've been to Disneyworld Orlando and Disneyland LA 1. If you can, try to avoid peak traffic days - there are websites that will tell you which days and weeks to avoid. On the flip side, they do have some special celebration days which some people might aim to attend - like star wars weekend, halloween 2. Stay at a Disney hotel with good transport connections. Some Disney hotels are more kid / fun oriented than others but all are pretty child friendly 3. Get to know which park you want to go to and which rides / shows you want to experience well before you get there. You may want to make some reservations before you even get there. But be a little flexible. Many rides have a kid swap area where one parent can ride while the other watches the kids, and then when they get off the other parent can get on without having to go through the whole line again. We also sometimes split up - my older one likes roller coasters, my younger one prefers shows. So I sent my husband on the roller coasters and we would meet up later at a designated spot. 4. Don't over schedule yourself - there are some websites out there that provide recommended itineraries for groups of different age groups - with toddlers you may want to break up the day with a nap. 5. Get a double stroller. If the five year old walks, the empty seat can be used to carry your stuff. 6. Make sure to be prepared for a rainy day plan. Since it was summer for us, we just used ponchos but we did switch our schedule to do more indoor stuff.
