Tips for making core magical memories with kids

From a child's unforgettable first visit to young families enjoying visiting again and again, here are a few ways to make magical memories to last a lifetime:

• Character experiences top the list of heartwarming moments, be it a hug from beloved pals such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto or Goofy, to meeting Disney Princesses in Fantasy Faire at Disneyland Park, encountering Super Heroes in Avengers Campus or posing with Lightning McQueen in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park.
• In Mickey's Toontown, families and young children can play together in this animated neighborhood which features green space to unwind, interactive play areas and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, where guests of all ages can embark on a zany adventure through the cartoon world of Mickey Mouse.
• A child's first "big kid ride" might be the new Tiana's Bayou Adventure (40 inches or taller), opening Nov. 15, 2024, which will be an exciting musical journey through the bayou with Princess Tiana and her friends, featuring a few daring plunges and fantastical storytelling.
• Shows at Disneyland might be a child's first experience with live entertainment. Various performances include Storytelling at Royal Theatre in Disneyland Park and "Disney Jr. Dance Party!" at Disney California Adventure Park.
• At Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park, little ones can take a spin on Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, or for the older kids, a ride on the high-speed Incredicoaster. In addition to five attractions, families can dine on playful bites and drinks and perhaps meet a character from a favorite Pixar story.
• Memorable meals are always on the vacation agenda, and families can also enjoy classic Disney treats like churros, popcorn and Mickey Mouse ice cream bars, alongside healthier options such as fruit, snack mixes and yogurt.
