The Happiest Place on Earth is the place for great memories. There are so many things you can do, see, eat, smell and experience. While you may not get to all of it in one day, here are some things you have to do while you’re at Disneyland.

Starbucks

Despite being up early to be at Disneyland, you can still get your morning coffee. Yes, I know you can get a Starbucks practically anywhere! But, Disneyland has cute themed cups that your drink comes in, Mickey Ears and all. You can’t miss getting yourself a Starbucks to start your day off.

The Haunted Mansion

Getting spooky early in the day is always fun. The Haunted Mansion is a must when it comes to Disneyland trips. You can’t miss out on the ghosts and mummies in the mansion. And you really can’t miss out on the scary woman at the end telling you to “”Hurry back”. During the holidays, they decorate the wholehouse and it smells like gingerbread inside. Missing out on this ride would be too scary to bear.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Ahoy Maties! From treasure stashes to skeletons to Jack Sparrow himself, this ride is a must. You can’t miss out on the huge pile of gold and the smell of the water. Listening to the story is also part of the fun and seeing all of the ships and cannons going off adds to the fun.

Dole Whips/The Enchanted Tiki Room

Two words. Pineapple. Ice Cream. Well that was three words, but understand that this is the best ice cream ever. It comes in a cute cup and can easily accompany you to The Enchanted Tiki Room. You can watch the birds sing and eat your ice cream to enjoy the show. You’ll really feel like you’re in Hawaii at a luau.

Take a Picture in front of Cinderella’s Castle

Smile big and bright because you’re in front of Cinderella’s Castle. Find the perfect angle and make sure you get the whole castle behind you. You can even get a professional photo taken and have it printed and framed.

Wait in Line for Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones will take you in a wild ride filled with snakes, mummies and a huge boulder surprise. Waiting in line is sound boring and mundane, but that’s also part of the fun. You feel like you’re exploring the cave and you get to watch old exploration videos in black and white.

Watch the Fireworks

The Firework show changed depending on the season. Halloween fireworks are spooky and the Christmas ones are cheery. The one they show year-round includes all of the good Disney movies- I promise.

Here are some suggestions on how to spend your day(s) at Disneyland. Whether you choose to do all of the things listed or just try one, they are all pretty fun experiences. They are classic Disneyland experiences that everyone should try just once. Disneyland, being the happiest place on Earth, might have something to make you happy whether it is on the list or no
