The Storybook Land Canal Boats, with Casey, Jr. in the background<\/em><\/p>\n I made so many happy memories at Disneyland<\/a>. Among the happiest are those I made with my daughter before she was old enough to go to school. When she was a toddler, she loved the shows, parades and meeting the characters. But there were some rides that she adored.<\/p>\n Disneyland has changed since then, but there are still plenty of great rides for toddlers. Here are my top picks.<\/p>\n \nFANTASYLAND, DISNEYLAND PARK<\/a><\/p>\n You might love it. You might hate it. You might have nightmares where that song simply will not leave your brain. But, chances are, your toddler will adore this ride. Even before your family boards their boat, your toddler\u2019s face will probably light up when he or she sees the fantastic white fa\u00e7ade. If you happen to visit during Halloween or Christmastime, you might see this fa\u00e7ade lit up with the colors of the holidays after dark.<\/p>\n Once you have set sail on the happiest cruise \u2018round the world, your toddlers will love pointing out the Disney characters, seeing the whimsical dolls, and, if your toddlers are anything like my daughter, loudly singing along.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nMAIN STREET, U.S.A.<\/a> It might seem like a really simple ride. I mean, it\u2019s just a cute train that runs the perimeter of the park, taking you through the Grand Canyon and the Primeval World. To many, it\u2019s just a quick way to get to and from various lands when your feet refuse to go another step.<\/p>\n But Walt Disney understood the magic of trains, and particularly, to children. Small children in particular seem fascinated with the train, both seeing it and hearing it from outside, and riding in it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nFANTASYLAND, DISNEYLAND PARK<\/p>\n Be sure to set sail with your little ones on this gentle, slow moving boat ride that glides past miniature sets from classic Disney animated features. Toddlers will love to see the port of Arendelle, the Sultan\u2019s palace from Aladdin, the Seven Dwarfs\u2019 cottage, Prince Eric\u2019s castle, and even the dwellings of the Three Little Pigs! Don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t quite place each set; a friendly tour guide will point everything out for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nPARADISE GARDENS PARK, CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE<\/p>\n Climb into a clamshell to relive some of the greatest moments from The Little Mermaid. If your toddler is entranced by the movie, he or she will love this ride. The bright colors, the huge Under the Sea sequence, and the fabulous music make this simple and sweet dark ride a hit with toddlers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nHOLLYWOOD LAND, CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE<\/p>\n Another sweet and simple dark ride, this one telling the story of how loveable monsters Mike and Sully help get little toddler Boo back home. There\u2019s a reason why toddlers like this movie: it revolves around a cute little human just like them. The same holds true for the ride. With funny sight gags, bright colors, and monsters that are more adorable than frightening, this ride tends to delight toddlers.<\/p>\n What are some of your child’s favorite rides?<\/em>\u00a0Share in the comments,<\/em>or\u00a0<\/em>on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Twitter<\/a><\/em>!<\/p>\n Did you like this article?
