What is the perfect age for Disneyland?

Best Age to Go to Disneyland 7-9 Right behind 4-6 years old, I think the best age for Disneyland is 7-9. Your kids are still excited to experience all of the Disney magic. By 9 your child can probably ride all of the rides at both Disneyland and California Adventure.

Even though Disney and Universal consider your 10+ year-old as an adult, remember to encourage them to feel the magic of childhood for as long as they can. You don't get that beautiful time back — so don't let anyone rush you, or them, through it. Even Disney. Already Have a Disney Reservation?

If you're worried about them remembering, wait until they're both age 5+. I still remember my Disney trip from the age of 5. It's one of my most memorable vacations as a kid. If I could only take my kids once or twice, I'd probably wait until the youngest was 6-7 (tall enough for most/all rides, magic is still there).

Toddlers are totally free before their third birthday at Disneyland, so be sure to schedule that trip just before your child's big day.
