- Always go for the fast passes and check you're getting the right ones. Fast pass are issued from machines at the rides which allocate a time for you to return for a ride. However take note that due to multi-purposing of the place and adding to original standing structures, make sure you get the right fast pass for the correct ride.
The original Disney Land that started it all. A nice throw back to this nostalgic place for the humble beginnings as the original Disneyland. 

The age of the place is starting to show slightly as Disney constantly tries to renovate the older attractions, updating them to newer themes with their expanding licenses. This can also be seen with the lack of themed dining halls to serve up food and beverage and the revamped structures to accommodate the huge following and tourist influx. Even the parade vehicle haven't changed much since years back and are starting to show their age through the paint work.

You never know if Jack might make another apperance.
Stand-outs were their Starwars depot with the Jedi training academy and meet and greet sessions with the members of the Dark Side and rebel alliance. 

Many of the ride are very familiar to those familiar with Disney parks. Where this place would be superior to its neighboring variant California adventure which caters more to the older age group of teens and up would be here is more character driven. Cast members show up periodically around the park for great photo ops, meet and greets.

Their stage shows are good and even the kiddy folk tale readings are a good laugh with live piano music and shouldn't be missed out.
Try to stay for the night scene in Disney Land as really the whole mood and atmosphere changes. They could have updated the roster roll for the parades and their electronic light displays with more future tech. 

The finale at the end gives a solid 20mins worth of fire works display which is always a huge crowd pleaser. 

For more kid friendly rides, much more meet the characters opportunities, and a walk down this historic park of what started it all, Disneyland is the place to go. For more grown up rides, and modern build, California Adventure Disney is the one to go to.
