I highly recommend everyone have a leisurely breakfast before coming. My family arrived at 11 am and didn't have to queue to enter, yet we were still able to play 7-8 of the hottest rides, including Zootopia, Caribbean, and Tron. Although the waiting time is shown as 40-100 minutes, it's not too long, only about 20-60 minutes in a cool, pleasant environment that kids love.

It's just a fairy tale!!! You become a kid again. But one day is very little. We went on 10 rides. We never stood for more than 50 minutes anywhere. The kids loved Tron, Pirates of the Caribbean, the 3D Flight Over the World, and Zootopia. The lines move pretty quickly. It's cheaper to buy ear buds before entering the park. We arrived at the evening show 80 minutes early; the center was completely busy, but we all squeezed in and got seats one by one. The fireworks were a really cool ending to the fairy tale!!! Afterwards, we went shopping and bought everything we wanted. We called a taxi in advance and left easily at the appointed time.

The Disneyland experience was simply magical. Bring a water bottle; there are designated areas in the park where you can refill your bottle. We lined up for the show well in advance; it was magical, and we cried from the sheer excitement. It's impossible to explore the park in one day; you need to keep coming back to explore every corner and discover more and more.

It's a wonderful theme park; even the lines don't seem that long – everything is thought out: fans, water spray, it's fantastic! We bought a 1+1 fast-track ticket, thinking it was a one-time pass for the ride, but it turned out to be a one-time pass. But overall, it's not a big deal – we were more interested in the experience and the location anyway. The evening light show is incredible! Absolutely fantastic. We'll definitely be back!
