Favorite Disneyland California rides

[chantalvanveen]

Hi Guys,

I have visited Disney World and Disney Land Paris. Next year I'm probably going to Disney Land in California.
I was wondering what rides you would suggest. What are your favorite rides?

Thanks!

I like Guardians of the Galaxy.

First I suggest you edit Disneyland in your title or be prepared to hear if from a lot of others. I liked the Cars ride.

I liked the Cars ride.

There's three of them. Which one did you like?

Here's rides that are in wdw that are very different over in CA
Space mountain
Haunted Mansion
Pirates
it's a small world
Here's rides that are no longer in wdw but still in CA
Mr. Toad
The Subs
Here's some other exclusive rides
Alice in wonderland
radiator springs racers
Mission breakout
incredicoaster
roger rabbit
Some attractions that may glow away forever to see
buzz lightyear
the subs
the star wars stuff in tomorrowland
roger rabbit + rest of toon town
Stuff to skip
the really kiddie rides, stuff like storybook river
----------------------------------------------------------------------
go to these first, then ride everything else, have fun!
Also ride the really popular rides like soarin at night, just make sure those rides are not in toontown or pixar pier because they shut down those areas at night for night-time shows.

The Storybook Boats are not skip worthy

Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and a trip around the Rivers of America aboard the Mark Twain Steamboat

At Disneyland:

Pirates of the Caribbean (even if you've been on the other versions)
Haunted Mansion
Indiana Jones
Matterhorn Bobsleds (Use the Single Rider Line)
Big Thunder (even if you've been on the other versions)
Alice in Wonderland
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
Casey Jr. Circus Train
Space Mountain (even if you've been on the other versions)

At DCA:

Radiator Springs Racers (use the Single Rider Line)
California Scream... Oh... er... Incredicoaster
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree
Toy Story Midway Mania (skippable if you've ridden it at other parks)
Grizzly River Run (Only if you're prepared to get drenched)

 

[Rich T]

P.S. I agree Storybook Land is not Skippable. Aside from the kiddie play areas in Toontown, there are no "Kiddie-Only" rides in DL park: Everything has something of beauty or quality any age can enjoy. Although Casey Jr. is still my favorite way to view Storybook Land--Not as good a view, but more fun to ride.

Skip the Storybook ride?

Storybookland Canals are the most romantic ride at Disneyland, USA

Not when the guide is laughing and pointing at my date & me (kidding--that didn't happen, but I love the mental image).

Radiator Springs Racers and I also like Luigi's Rollickin' roadsters

If it makes anyone feel better, I like the train. That's similar-ish.

Grizzly River Run (Only if you're prepared to get drenched)

I never got drenched on this ride, teach me your ways.

 

[Rich T]

I never got drenched on this ride, teach me your ways.

Get on the ride with no intention of returning to the hotel to change clothes, and as you leave the dock, say out loud, "I NEVER get wet on this thing." Guaranteed results!

 

[CraftyFox]

Pirates of the Caribbean is a MUST RIDE. Even if you have been to versions at other parks. It is by far the best POTC in any of the Disney Parks!

 

[TROR]

Tokyo's is better because they didn't change their auction scene and they have better AA's.

Any PoC that cuts out the bayou, both drops and the cursed caverns is garbage.

Wait wait wait. Tokyo doesn’t have one drop? Or the bayou? Or the caverns? They may as well change theirs to Shanghai’s.
