Does your little one love princesses? Of course, Disneyland is the perfect place for them! Contrary to popular belief, the whole resort is not teeming with princesses just looking for children to hug. Instead, you actually need to know what to look for to give your family (or yourself - let's be honest) a fabulous day filled with attractions, shows, and other activities that they love!

Here's a handy list of each option's pros and cons to help you if you're feeling indecisive or just overwhelmed! UPDATED 17 Jan 2018

Since it's so important to get an early start in the parks in order to get everything done, it's not too easy to also grab something for breakfast before you enter the gates.  The fastest method is to bring some simple breakfast bars or fruit with you, but for some that may not be filling and it certainly isn't as delicious as the meals you can get from Disneyland.  There aren't many restaurants open inside the parks first thing, but what is open still offers a lot of options to appease everyone! ​UPDATED 21 FEB 2019
