Went to the park yesterday & saw something interesting- an app for iPhones and Droids that gives you real-time ride wait times, locations of characters int he park, etc. Might be useful.
Most e-ticket rides were down yesterday, at least intermittently- Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Matterhorn… bummer.
Mousewait & Lines are a couple. Lines is by the Unofficial Guide people.
With a 5 year old do Dumbo & Peter Pan first (assuming you’re there at park opening). Those lines can be a nightmare on a crowded day. Especially Dumbo, that line just crawls.
Pirates & the Haunted Mansion are real people eaters, save those for more crowded times.
Disneyland is offering a deal for locals: 2 days for $99. Just have your relatives buy your tickets for you. And buy them ahead of time to save yourself some time.
