Toontown



Toontown is a fun, colorful, toon-tastic place to visit! It is to the left of “It’s a Small World” towards the very back of the park. This area of Disneyland is themed from the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I think the most entertaining part of this area is the character houses!

Kids go crazy when they are able to walk through Minnie and Mickey Mouse’s house and are sometimes surprised with a visit of the character themselves! Other character houses include Chip ‘n Dale’s Treehouse, Donald Duck’s boat and Goofy’s Playhouse (which includes a bounce house)!

Beside being able to visit character houses and enjoy a fun cartoony feel, there a couple rides. The Gadget Go Coaster is a short simple but very fun coaster, geared towards kids that are starting to branch out from the kiddies ride. Another popular ride is Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin where guests sit in taxi cabs and ride through the wild world of Roger Rabit. (From personal experience….. this line can get extremely long! The max I would wait for this ride would be 30 minutes on a crowded day, otherwise try fastpass or just skip it).

Other than the couple rides and character houses, there are other fun interactive areas in this "park". Across from Roger Rabbit's Car Spin is a "toon" version of a fire house/jail/post office that guests can walk through and interact with including a phone that connects to Rodger Rabbit himself and jail bars that might not be so hard to escape from!

The Disneyland Railroad does have a stop located just outside the entrance to Toontown, so use that to your advantage of getting to the far side of the park or back while visiting Disneyland.

Overall, Toontown is a fun area, especially with little kids, and worth checking out if time is available or the park is not overly crowded, yet not a must do for one-time visitors to Disneyland.

Jedi Training Academy

Welcome young Padawans! This live-action show, behind Buzz’s AstroBlaster across from Autopia, children from the audience can experience becoming a Jedi. Complete with brown robes and light sabers, trainees learn the sacred Jedi Oath and ancient battle techniques from a Jedi Master! The show would not be complete with having to fight off a force of Stormtroopers led by Darth Vadar (or Darth Maul). Can your skills fight them off? May the force be with you! Children between 4 to 12 will be the best targets to be chosen for participation. If you have a little Star Wars fan with you, definitely check out the entertainment schedule when you enter the park. Every time I see this show happening, the kids look like they are having a blast!

Ride Profile: Indiana Jones

One of the most exciting rides at Disneyland is based from the popular movies Indiana Jones!  Opening in 1995, after being under construction for 7 years and costing Disney about $100 million! The ride can be found between Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Carrabin. Since it is a crowd pleaser, the line can get very long, so I highly recommend getting FASTPASS and coming back to the ride later in the afternoon when you can avoid the line. Single rider passes and parent swap passes are also available, just ask the Cast Member at the front. The ride “takes place” in the Forbidden Temple where famous archeologist, Indiana jones, helps guide your’ ride, making sure you make it to the end. Visitors MUST NOT look into the eyes of the temple's idol, Mara, or an ancient curse will befall them. The ride moves through foreboding caverns adorned with flickering lights, mysterious wall etchings, ominous spikes, even-more ominous skeletons, and other diversions! On th...

Is It Crowded?

As an annual pass holder, I generally plan my trips to the park when I know it will not be crowded. Sounds like a good plan right?!? There are times when my friends and I go to Disneyland completely spontaneously, but even on those trips its nice to know whether Disneyland or California Adventure is the better park to start in. One way I figure this out is by wait times. In both the Apple and Android store, there are apps that you can download to see frequently updates wait times for all the rides in the park. In addition, it shows rides that are closed for the day, so you don’t waste your time walking all the way to the ride just to be disappointed. However, if you do not have a smart phone, the wait times for rides can be found at the end of Main Street at the kiosk. The other way I look at optimal park days is by sites that research crowd patterns. Luckily for us, they do the research and statistics for us, and we can figure out the best days to go! The web...
