Like Eric said this is my favorite ride in Disneyland as well. The moment you step on the property of the Haunted Mansion it is an adventure. From the horseless carriage to the many tombstones, you realize what you are getting yourself into. Once inside the Haunted Mansion you are shuffled into an e…

If you love Disney movies and are a child at heart, I would definitely recommend this show! Located on the Rivers of America, Fantasmic is a journey into Mickey's imagination. At First it's a lighthearted look through some of the Disney classics... then things make a turn for the worse when his imag…

This is by far the most popular ride at Disneyland. So be warned that this line is extremely long almost all the time. Just getting to the ride is an adventure, as it probably takes (if there is no live) 3-5 minutes just to walk to the ride from the entrance. On the way you will encounter many thing…

This is an excellent fireworks show. It is done above Sleeping Beauty's Castle so you can get a view of it anywhere on Main Street. I would suggest getting as close to the castle as possible because you will get the best view that way. The castle also lights up and different images are displayed on …

This ride is awesome if you have that competitive spirit within ya!
Here are some tips:

- Hit the targets that light up..they are worth more

Eric says:
This was probably the most exciting ride of the day. I think Space Mountain is faster, but the Matterhorn adds an extra element of suspense in that it is so jerky and old that you aren't quite sure whether or not it is going to fall apart ant any moment. Abominable snowmen and other foul creatures l…

Dumbo, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride make up three biggest attractions in Fantasyland in Disneyland. Dumbo the Flying Elephant is what you would expect. You sit in one of many Dumbos and use a little lever to move the elephant up and down. Nothing really special and when you are at the top the …

The newest ride to Disneyland brings back the classic submarines so many of us enjoyed throughout the years. This time, the voyage brings you underwater to witness Nemo's adventure.
I remember riding this voyage as a child, and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I mean you got to go underwate…

As I have said in other reviews, this ride is one of the most popular in Fantasyland. It is almost guaranteed a line no matter what time of the day it is. It is one of the few rides that was open on opening day back in 1955 and is still around today.
The ride is based on an adaption from The Wind…

Probably the most popular ride in Fantasyland. The line is always long and there is no FASTPASS, so be prepared to wait. The wait though is well worth it. You board a tinier version of Captain Hook's ship (which will seat four), which is suspended in the air so it looks like you are really flying. Y…

One of only three roller coasters in Disneyland, this is one is the fastest and probably the most fun. Again, popular so expect a wait. It was recently remodeled thus making it faster. This is not an ordinary roller coaster though. This one is where you are in pitch black and the only light are the …

Autopia is a great ride for the family. I remember riding this back when I was 5 years old. I really thought I was driving a car and believed that I was the best driver (dad said so). This is just a car on a track that allows you to use a pedal to make the car go and a steering wheel to "control" th…

The Jungle Cruise is an exciting, relaxing ride. Basically it is a riverboat journey through the jungles of Asia, Africa and South America. Along the cruise you see elephants, hippos, and native tribal people. This ride is really a hit or miss. By this I mean, it really depends on the guide you get.…

Ah everyones favorite critters come to life at Splash Mountain. This is another major attraction, so be prepared to wait especially if it is hot out. On this adventure you enjoy a soothing ride in a log, with a few minor drops. It plays out the story of Brer Rabbit and his adventure escaping from Br…

Eric says:
Thunder Mountain is a rickety roller coaster set in the wild west that never really lives up to it's expectations for thrills. You'll proceed slowly up to the top of a large hill, expecting to shoot down at high speed once you reach the top. Unfortunately, the ride proceeds down the slope at approxi…
