Disneyland is great for kids over the age of 7.For my family, this meant that my oldest two (ages 9 and 10) could ride rides together while an adult rode with the younger kids (ages 2, 4, and 6). I don't mean just standing in line and riding alone, but sitting in the ride together alone.
Disneyland is smaller, features fewer theme parks and hotels and costs less than Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World is a sprawling complex that encompasses four theme parks, more than two dozen hotels and other attractions to boot.
Teenagers who are 14 years old or older can visit the park on their own, but parents or guardians should consider their maturity level and ability to handle themselves in a crowded and busy environment.
Bear in mind that Disneyland tickets are free for those under 3 years old. We went to Disneyland with a two-year-old Arlo, but it was just a week before his third birthday, which saved us a lot of money! Also, you don't have to prove the child is under three, so make of that what you will!
