Taking kids under 5 to Disneyland?

[Freya]

Thanks for the input guys!
Dh and I talked about it tonight and he thinks Disneyland is a viable option now that we know the boys will still have a ball and be able to go on rides. He's only balking at the cost to head to the USA so we've compromised on Hong Kong Disneyland (especially because we are in Nth Qld so we have to trek south to Sydney usually to catch international flights). Lulu, I checked out the Disney website for height restrictions and it looks like our 3 are tall enough to ride everything bar 1 or 2 of the biggest rides! Thanks for the suggestion!

That's the reason we ended up HK too - price plus huge travel time from Perth. HK Disney was very cool, and HK itself has lots of good stuff for kids too and its really easy to get around on public transport. Take the kids to Ocean Park while you're there too. Its a combination thing of theme park, aquarium, pandas etc.

FWIW, we stayed at the Disney Hollywood Hotel. They had a great playground and pool area for kids, its very new (opened only November last year I think) and its quite a bit cheaper than the Disney Hotel. Its also the "themed" hotel, whereas the Disney Hotel is gorgeous but very sort of English colonial style and we figured if we were going to stay in one, we might as well stay in one where Mickey told us what floor we were on! We had booked a standard park view room and were offered a free upgrade to a seaview room. They're exactly the same size, so we stayed in the park view - got a brilliant view of the fireworks from our hotel room the first night when the girls were just too shattered to stay at the park for them.

We took our girls to Disneyland in LA last year when DD1 was 6 and DD2 was 4. They loved it! DD2 was scared on one or two of the rides but loved it anyway. She wasn't as into the parades as DD1 but ah well, they had an awesome day whether or not we went on every ride and they still remember a lot of it! They loved Pirates of the Carabean (sp?) and Alice in Wonderland, but in all honesty they just loved being there.... they didn't care if they went on all the rides or not and loved the atmosphere.
