The kids really enjoyed it and the rain wasn't a problem.

Long lines!!!!. Everything else is fine. But lines really ruin the holiday atmosphere. You have to put up with them and enjoy the moment. If you're going with children, bring a stroller so they don't get too tired walking between locations.

A childhood dream came true. The atmosphere was incredible. We spent the whole day, rode all the rides we'd planned on, even getting on some twice, without a fast pass—it's practically unnecessary. The evening show and fireworks were absolutely spine-tingling.

A fairy tale! Delight! The atmosphere! All the characters from childhood! Flashbacks of how mom cooks lunch on a weekend, and you watch your favorite cartoons 🥰 It's worth coming right before opening! There are always lines here! You can get there by metro, it runs until the park closes. The coolest ride is, of course, the throne. Next time, I want to go on it several times. Rex Racer (Hot Wheels) was cool, and Roaring Rapids and Seven Dwarfs Mine were also interesting with the kids. We didn't make it to Zveropodist; it's better to get a priority ticket there - it's very popular)) There are souvenir shops with all the favorite characters! If you have a small child, you can rent a stroller, where, in fact, the child can relax. 🥱 You can download a Disneyland map to your phone, it will be much easier to navigate space and time in line 😅
