So Cal beaches

Am I the only Dad on here that likes Disneyland?

nope

Its not my first choice for a couple, but your kids will love it and isn't that the purpose of a "family vacation". As for a beach, I prefer Huntington to Newport only because it tends to be less crowded, which is nice after a few days at Disneyland.

A little advice if you have room, take a stroller even if your kids aren't toddlers. They're a lifesaver and easy to park your lunch, coats, wet clothes, water, souvenirs, etc. while you go on the rides.

Definitely taking a stroller, maybe two small ones.

A little more advice -- cancel now and go to San Diego/Sea World instead. It's so much better for too many reasons to list.

Doing Sea World a day as well, but we're not going to change hotels, so we'll make that one really long *** day.

Disneyland is where wifegods banish husbands to. I'd rather attend 1000 funerals than be sober in that hell hole, and feel bad for any non-drinker going. My wife has taken our boys there a half a dozen times; I went once and am never going back.

Do NOT leave anything on the stroller or it will be stolen before you get 1/4 of the way through the line. Plan on one of you sitting out every single ride if you value your stuff at all.

If you don't need the stroller for an actual child, then just bring a backpack. They allow you to bring water bottles, sodas, snacks, sunblock, etc in there. When you go on a ride, put in on backwards (on front) or on the seat next to you if available. Otherwise it stays on your back. You will save a ton vs $3 per soda and other ridiculous snack charges. The weight of the bag get less as the day goes on since you've been eating the contents. You can easily save 20, 30, 40, maybe even $50 per day for a family. I can buy 36 water bottles at Costco/Target/Walmart for less than the price of 2 inside the park.

Am I the only gay guy on here that likes Disneyland?

Fixed. Your posts in the gay marriage thread are all of a sudden a lot funnier.

I'm not a dad yet, but I'd like to go to every Disney park in the world before I die. I dig them.

One word: Asian.

Huh? I was there over this last Thanksgiving (first time in my life, and most certainly, the last) with my entire extended family. We had eight strollers between all of us and we left them unattended for the vast majority of the time. No issues whatsoever.

Lol nobody wants your ****, even if it's free.

Stop bragging about it, or the Gods will find a way to get even.

We have been there several times, and had things stolen every single time. Once we caught a couple of kids (maybe 14 years old) running away with a couple of strollers and everything on them, and they were expelled from the park, but we had to endure the wrath of their parents (temporarily, thank goodness) since we turned in their perfect children for stealing our ****. We have had half-eaten food taken off strollers, the novelty drink cups you can refill (these are hot items apparently), stuffed animals, sunscreen, and even diapers and baby wipes. That was all on 2 different rides. We learned the first time and took the novelty cups and such with us and left them with the attendant while we rode, but that was when they stole the baby stuff and food. I don't think they let you leave things with the attendant while you ride the rides anymore, so be prepared to have one of your group sit each ride out. People suck.

I've been to that god-forsaken place much more times that I wish I'd been and I've never had anything stolen from the stroller. Which shows you the theft there is ping-pong balls, really. Get ready to cough up some serious dough for way, WAY, WAAAAY overpriced Disney merchandise crap. Food there is awful too, if you can bring food from outside - do it. God, I hate Disney...but I will be there next year as well.

Shouldn't you be the one thanking God for giving us this inside Disneyland?


Stealing the momma's milk is not cool at all, but if she doesn't take it on the ride then you could chug that sweet womb nectar & spin it that you forgot to bring it and saw some punks run off with your stuff. That or go pro and save it to cook a batch of boob cheese later on.

Gotta agree with UGLI on this one.
