My older kids are in their 30's...when we took them to Disneyland we could fly, rent a car, get a hotel, all our ticktes...for Less than $1000. That is a family of four for 4 days. That was at the last minute with no discounts.
Now it will cost us $1300. and that is with all the discounts. No plane, and no car rental. Just the...room and tickets...for that price. By the time we drive there, meals, and gas the trip will run $1700. for 4 days. We live in central California. I can't imagine what it cost for folks outside of the state.

The Bugs Life show in California Land is great. Also the Bear in the Big Blue House show was a hit with the kids. In Disneyland our favorites are The Tiki Room (with the birds), the tea cups, The Priates ride, and The haunted house.
What was your favorites in Disney/California land?

Personally I would rather spend the day at Knotts Berry Farm than at Disneyland. But that is me and I still like Disneyland better than California Adventure. And Yes to do both you will need at least 3 days!!!

Izzy,
Knotts is nothing compared to Disneyland. The motif is so different, and the atmosphere is very different. They have added a lot of fast rides over there but still maintain many of the older rides. The log ride is my favorite, Montazuma's revenge was the first loop ride I went on. With it's old west flavor, this is a great place to go for a change of pace.

In Florida WDW's price increases are TERRIBLE. In 2003 a one day one park ticket was $48. Now it's $67. 4 years should not equal $19 increase...if that continues, it'll be $200 before we know it.

I'm glad we have the orginal Disneyland. The kids are getting so excited about going. I also plan to see the Horse Shoe Review again. It is a great western music show in Disneyland.
We haven't been to Toon Town yet. Will make it this trip. I hoping we get to do dinner in the Pirates ride. But meals in Disneyland are so expensive.
Last trip we ate lunch there and we had 3 kids lunches, Peanut Butter and Jelly with fruit and drinks. Two sandwiches and drinks for my husband and I, it came to $50. I mentioned this to the cashier...she said we were making memories, Hah! Funny lady. :)

We pack the rest in with us. You can take food into disneyland as long as it is prepacked food. Rent a stroller and get some small softsided ice chest. A bottle of water is $3. a soda is $3. a sandwich and soda for five is $50.

"Park Hopper", the ability go change parks through the day used to be included on every ticket over a 1 day, but is now an extra charge.
"No Expiration" used to be included on every single ticket, but is now an extra charge.
It was so crowded that it was not even fun. I was annoyed just trying to walk. I have never seen it so busy in my life. I think many more foreigners are taking advantage of the low dollar and taking vacations there. I heard many more foreign languages being spoken than on any of my previous visits.
It will probably be a long time before I ever return.

We always go off season and during the week. We actually asked a disney worker what days of the week were less crowded. In Disneyland the best days to go, less crowds, are Tues., Wed., and Thurs. We always go in March. We take the risk of rain some years, but this year the weather looks great. I actually get on line...find out when the Anaheim schools go on Easter/Spring break and don't go during that time. I also ask the hotel if any conventions will be in town during our visit. One year there was a teacher's convention, very crowded.
We hate crowds. So if you're going take our tips:) Also, there are a few cheaper but close hotels. We stay at a two star hotel. It is pretty good. Frig, Microwave, Swimming Pool, half block from Disneyland.
