Well it's about a week now until my first trip to Disneyland, and I'm looking for suggestions on some of those "not to be missed" things to see or do. Or maybe some tips on navigation or planning the day.

Thanks in advance for the tips Smile

Blue Bayou... check
Indiana Jones... BIG check
Matterhorn... probably. Thunder Mountain RR is about the top of my coaster ability. Is it rougher than TMRR?

The camera is tuned up and raring to go Smile
Bought an extra memory card for it and plan to take lots of pics.
I have a reservation for the Fantasmic preferred seating area too. Apparently they no longer do the balcony area of the gallery though, and I hope the other are is pretty good.

Thanks again

I would Say Big Thunder and the Matterhorn are equal in roughness

..plus..the Matterhorn is a part of Disney History! Think all of the people who have riden that, since it was first built in 1959. Granted..it got a nice face lift in 1978, and again in 1994. In 2009, The Matterhorn will celebrate 50 years of continuous joy, and thrills! It is a "Must Do"...and a "Do" you will cherish, each time you see a picture of it.

Matterhorn: First steel coaster in the world, the only coaster that I know that actually splashes into water, a must do. Probably no rougher than BTMRR.

Indy - Probably more violent than any of the coasters, but this is my favorite ride in any of the parks. Almost identical to the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom, but with a theme and story that's a million times better.

Blue Bayou - the Monte Cristo sandwich is excellent. However, I think they only serve it during dinnertime (or maybe that's lunchtime). Anyhoo, if they aren't serving Monte Cristos, you can dip across the street to the other New Orleans Square place and grab one - they make them all day. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

I would second what eatmon said about the fireworks. They're similar to wishes, but even better, as they take you on a trip through the different lands around the park. Some really cool effects. For instance, for the Haunted Mansion portion, they play the "is this haunted room actually stretching" audio clip from the Ghost Host, and then they fire a circular ring of fireworks around the courtyard - really gives you the illusion of being in the stretching room. Cool!

I would add:
1.) Do the Bill Hill and the Hillbillies show. I absolutely loved it, and I'm not a big fan of country music/fiddles. However, the MC (if it's the same guy) is absolutely fantastic.

Hope this helps.

WELL... I have to thank everyone for all the advice! Thumbs Up

I've been here all week and I've done everything suggested except the subs. The line is just too long by the time I can get there. 3 hours seems to be the norm. And didnt get to the Hillbilliers either Kurt. Maybe next time huh Smile

A few things...
Blue Bayou - AWESOME!!! I requested a water view table and waited the extra 10 minutes. Well worth the wait.
Indiana Jones was all I had hoped.
We had reserved seating for the 9:00 Fantasmic, and got to stick around for the fireworks too. Good seats, AND great deserts!

Thanks to everyone for the great advice.!!
I cant wait to return again Smile

Special thanks to you tEpiphany - it was great to meet you out here. We had an absolutely great evening.
