Does anyone have a Disneyland traditions for when they first get in the park? I know the first thing my wife and I do is head straight to the haunted mansion and ride, it's her favorite ride and a happy wife makes for a good life

I park my truck then ride the tram. It happens 8 out of 10 times. - vincentchase  636.7 #167 9:26AM
It's a very important part of the day - justinschu4  21.7 #4902 9:46AM
Don't forget ride down escalator - MarshaMouse  2834.6 #15 10:39AM
I usually zip line down Marsha. - vincentchase  636.7 #167 11:10AM
Haha we stayed at the dland hotel once and my kids said it didn't feel right because we never rode the tram! - DlandDude  259.5 #911 5:03PM
I have to go on POTC, then HM. After that I let they ones I'm with decide. - DisneyGrandma  335.9 #443 9:35AM
My tradition was buzz. Now it's clocking in and making magic. - BCC  4640.4 #5 9:57AM
See was it that hard to pose a question without adding a picture? As for tradition, first thing in the park I hit up a restroom 😂 - cesium55  529.7 #215 9:57AM
I've had some practice there is many post of mine without pics - justinschu4  21.7 #4902 10:22AM
Well keep up the good work 👍 - cesium55  529.7 #215 11:18AM

I hit the bathroom after a long drive to Disneyland first - PartridgeFam  10.3 #6641 11:54AM
Our most consistant tradition is that before we step foot onto the property, my husband and I take a quiet moment to leave the whole other world behind. And to promise not to swear. Then we go to Disneyland first even if it's to turn right back around and go to DCA. - MrsMears  212.0 #1450 12:37PM
So you swear not to swear - justinschu4  21.7 #4902 4:02PM
I noticed recently we tour the parks almost in the same order as our DL music CD. Train, Tiki Room, Jungle cruise, Indy, Treehouse, Pirates. . . - GoofyMom77  108.5 #2920 9:45AM
We almost always go to DCA first and hit TSM. I would ride that all day if someone let me. - HalfCaff  66.5 #3457 9:47AM

Hey... you post correctly! Nice job! It was to go on BTMRR...but that's out, so now it will be heading over to BTMRR and screaming and crying. - DisneyFanZoe  1083.8 #77 9:57AM
Only til' fall, until then you can google a video of it and put a fan in your face on high while watching it - justinschu4  21.7 #4902 10:34AM
That might take the sting out of my broken heart... - DisneyFanZoe  1083.8 #77 10:35AM
