We're probably taking the kids to Disneyland next May. Even though May is a long ways from December that's going to be the big Christmas surprise.
Aside from the Disney site itself what are the best places to book a trip? Did you use a travel agency? Book on your own? I'm such a novice with this.
Should we stay in a hotel close to the park or one where we just take a shuttle? Do you recommened alternating between parks? Like do California Adventures one day and then main park the next? I'm guessing we'll be there 3-4 days.
Fast passes? Yes or no?
Any tips for a first time Disneyland person with kids 10, 7, and 4 are appreciated.
