- Hi my name's Chris
and right now I'm in Disneyland.
It made me think,
what are the best rides
in Disneyland to take a really little kid on?
I have an eight month old in there.
Most people will tell you
that all the little kid rides are in Fantasy land
which is where we are right now.
But not all the rides in here are the best
rides to take a little kid on.
And some of the rides might
surprise you.
So here are my top 10 rides to take
a baby on if you go to Disneyland.
Number 10.
Peter Pan, I almost didn't
put this ride on the list
because you're only on the ride
for less than three minutes
and the wait is usually 40 minutes or more
and that can be
really hard with a baby.
That being said, the ride itself
is really awesome.
Even though it's super short,
it's really awesome.
You fly in a pirate ship
and part of the reason it's on this list
is because you get your own pirate ship.
So you don't have to worry about your baby having
a meltdown and ruining somebody else's ride experience.
Anyway, this ride is really beautiful,
it's tame, it's relaxing. It's a good ride
to take a little baby on.
Did you like it Parker?
- That was quick.
- It's quick too, it's a quick ride.
Number nine.
Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin.
This ride has a very immersive ride
so there's a lot to look at while you wait.
Are you looking at things?
Oh, are you licking your lip 'cause you
see a pie, a Boston cream pie.
This ride is kind of
for bigger kids and grownups,
but little kids tend to really like it.
There's a lot to look at,
there's a lot going on
on this ride.
It's kind of crazy.
Number eighth.
The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
If you've shown your kids
the cartoons or read the kids the books
which I highly recommend,
they're awesome, then your kids
will have something familiar to look at.
You want to see Pooh Bear and Tigger and Eeyore.
And ride in a giant beehive full of honey.
Yeah, that sounds like fun to me too.
Let's do it.
There's a lot of really cool, bright,
animatronic displays on this ride
so kids have a great time looking
around at all the different things.
Number seven.
The Mark Twain and the Columbia are boats
that go around the rivers of America.
This is the Columbia.
It only comes out on the weekends.
But you can ride it the same way
that you can ride the Mark Twain.
I personally love
this ride for putting my baby to sleep.
I put my baby in a carrier,
I can walk around the deck of the boat.
It's relaxing.
There's stuff for me to look at, it's calming
and the baby goes to sleep.
And there's a lot for the other siblings
to enjoy and look at.
While you're on this ride.
Number six.
The Disneyland Railroad.
The railroad can take you to four different
stations all around the park.
And with the railroad lasting 22 minutes you can actually
sit down for awhile and take a load off.
And if it's your first time at the park,
give you a really good overview of the park's layout.
Number five.
Pirate's of the Caribbean.
This is one of my favorite rides at the park.
On a slow day,
it will only take you 15 minutes
to get on the ride and then you're
on the ride for 15 minutes.
It's an air conditioned ride.
The child can sit on your lap.
And for the most part it's a slow moving calm ride
so your baby can nap through it.
Number four, the Haunted Mansion.
Some people think this ride is
too scary for little kids but I'd
say that it's more spooky and silly than scary.
One of the nice things
about this ride is that you have your own pod
so your baby's not going to distract other people
from experiencing the ride.
And the music is really catchy
so if your baby likes music
they'll probably like this ride.
Number three.
Storybook land.
I'm not a huge fan of this ride
for little kids and the reason is you're in a very tiny boat
with a lot of other people.
There's no back to your seat
and it's kind of scary
and you can experience pretty much
the same exact ride on a awesome little train
called Casey Junior Circus train.
This is a great ride.
You get to see all the little mini
houses from storybook land
but you can do it from
the safety of a cage.
It's a really cute little train ride
with lots of tunnels,
couple ups and downs and a catchy little tune.
Number two,
the Jungle Cruise.
Unlike Storybook land,
this boat has backs on the seats.
The plants on this ride are real
and they have grown so much that in 2010,
they've been declared an actual jungle
with their own ecosystem.
That means even though this ride is outside,
it's significantly cooler than the rest of the park.
And as a Dad I really appreciate this ride
because the Skipper always tells some pretty good
Dad jokes that
I can then use later.
And the number one ride.
It's a Small World, we can't go
on It's a Small World
today because it's under construction
but we've gone on it in
the past and it's awesome.
I thought I had footage of this ride but it turns
out I don't so here is some footage of my wife Jessica
outside the ride watching a fireworks show.
Anyway just listen to the words
and watch that and be happy.
This ride has everything,
for a little baby.
A lullaby like song,
air conditioned environment,
lots to look at and
a smooth boating motion.
And it's one of the longer rides
on our list so you get to sit down for a while
and just enjoy the ride with your baby.
So that's my list of rides for
a little tiny kid
like this one right here.
Let me know in the comments section if
I missed something that you think should have been
in the list and tell me in the comment section
and tell me which one is your personal
favorite to go on with a tiny little baby.
Like this one.
Yeah.
(child laughing)
Good morning everyone.
- [Unison] Good Morning Everyone.
- Now I know what you're thinking,
what they're at Disneyland again?
But guess what, we decided to move here.
This is our new house,
it's very modest.
This is where we get our water.
And we sleep back behind
these bushes so no one kicks us out.
