Remember when you were a kid? The thrill of Pirates of the Carribean was just way too much for me. I would always leave a puddle in the seat, and as for the Matterhorn...
Since its early inception on July 17, 1955, there were 17 paid attractions and three free attractions. Now Disneyland has some 40 rides that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
You can start your Disneyland fantasy with a stroll along Main Street, which was a long walk for me when I was a kid. This is small-town America set in the early 1900s. Penny arcades, trollies, double-decker buses, and horse-drawn wagons travel up and down a the hustle and bustle of a connection of shops selling everything from Disney products and merchandise, glasswares, clothing, sports memorabilia and food. At the end of Main Street, you may run into Mickey and Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Goofy or anyone of the Seven Dwarfs as well as Snow White.
Keep this in mind: Disneyland is the only one of the four Kingdoms that was ever overseen by Walt himself. This gives the park a gunuine historical feel like no other.

FANTASYLAND Sleeping Beauty's Castle, Peter Pan's Flight, Mr. Toads Wild Ride and Alice in Wonderland are a must if you have small children.
Let the spinning begin with Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and the Giant Tea Cups at the Mad Tea Party.
Visit It's a Small World, where children from 100 countries sing that annoying well-known song.
Bobsled in groups of four through the snowcapped Matterhorn, which is the centerpiece of the Magic Kingdom. The Matterhorn has dominated Anaheim's skyline and is a gage for all the kids in the car that ask, "are we there yet"?

TOMORROWLAND Where you can ride the Astro Orbitor rocket. Or zip along on the Rocket Rods which replaced the original Sky Ride that overlooked Tomorrowland. Rollercoaster fanatics will love Space Mountain. Top speed here is only 35 mph, but it's in the dark so this adds to the thrill factor. Drive your own car and race your friends in the newly revamped Autotopia. And, a don't miss attraction is "Honey I Shrunk The Kids." One of the best 3-D productions around.  Another don't miss is Star Tours. A simulation wonder like no other where you laugh and scream!

NEW ORLEANS SQUARE
The twisting streets of New Orleans Square are for shopping and browsing, to the tune of strolling Dixieland musicians. Some of the most popular rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion, populated by 999 holographic ghosts. Buy original Disney art at theme shops in New Orleans Square. They also sell crazy hats, perfume, Mardi Gras merchandise, and gourmet foods.

FRONTIERLAND Raccoon skin hats of Daniel Boone and a Cruise on the Mark Twain steamboat set the theme of Frontierland. Set sail across the water on the sailing ship Columbia. Kids of every age enjoy rafting to Tom Sawyer Island for climbing and exploring. For rollercoaster thrills, Thunder Mountain is awakened with a bang when a runaway mine train comes racing down the mountain, twisting through caves and waterfalls. Shop for Raccoon skin hats, African spears and South Seas wares in the small shops along the way.

ADVENTURELAND Grab the steering wheel of your very own jeep and take other passengers on a ride of a lifetime on the Indiana Jones Adventure, a don't-miss thrill ride through the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. A long-time favorite is the Jungle Cruise. Hop on a boat for a wild ride as the guides are very comical and often whitty as they interact with the passengers while they manouver through obsticals. Kick back and enjoy a show at the Enchanted Tiki Room after exploring Tarzan's Treehouse.

TOONTOWN At Mickey's Toontown, you can step into a cartoon-like state and ride the loopy Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin, the largest and most unusual black-light ride at Disneyland. Adults as well as kids can climb up a rope ladder on the Miss Daisy (Donald Duck's boat), talk to a mailbox, and walk through Mickey's House.
Check out Chip 'n Dale's treehouse party in Toontown.
Take the Jolly Trolly for wacky ride around Toontown.
For the little thrill seekers, hop on Gadget's crazy Go Coaster ride complete with a high-speed splashdown into Toon Lake!
You can take a break and watch the animated bears of Critter Country or the Cool off at Splash Mountain, the log ride that has become notorious among some as "Flash Mountain."

The box office opens a half hour before the park does. Brochures with maps and showtimes as well as strollers for the tots are available at the entrance.
Ask an always helpful Disneyland employee for information about designated character stops. You can also meet some of the animated icons at one of the character meals served at the Disneyland or Disneyland Pacific hotels (both open to the public).
