William, we did Disneyland back in April. My son was just past 3 (yikes, he turns 4 today) and my daughter was 1 1/2.  I can honestly say it was the best time I've ever had there, even more than my trips as a kid, because they were so excited and had so much fun.  They were positively contagious to the rest of the family that went that day, we all saw the park through their eyes.

And if you go into California Adventures, avoidavoidavoid the Monsters Inc ride in the front left corner even if there is no line and they are handing out cash to riders.  It's a piss poor excuse for a ride for a Disney park (a couple years ago we waited in July heat for nearly two hours and I'm still bitter about it).

Also, Fast Track as much as you can for the big rides. Well worth the effort.

Sebastien,

The green of your son's eyes should be a crime!  (that was a compliment)

Thanks Marc.  Though they appear green in the picture, they are actually blue.  The poor quality of my scanner is to blame.  Regardless, I appreciate the comment.

To comment on the Disney discussion, the wife and I went last September (at WDW in Florida) and had the best time of our lives.  The weather was fabulous and the crowds were small enough that we didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes to get on the best rides.  To anyone planning to go down there, I would strongly recommend going in the fall.  Also, the prices are so much better than that during the peak times of the year.

As Ryan M. points out, getting the Fast Pass is a must.  It cuts down on the wait times significantly.  We rode all the best rides two to three times.

I would also recommend that, if you are planning to do only one park per day, don't bother getting what they call the Hopper Pass, which allows one to go from one park to another during the same day.  And finally, if you really want your days broken down into a nice schedule, visit www.tourguidemike.com and for about $20.00, you can have your entire trip scheduled by the folks at that site, down to smallest detail.  Over a 7-day period, I can honestly say that we saw close to 95% of all the attractions, thanks to their help.

Marc,

I know the little lady would like to try for a girl, but if that happens we won't try for at least a year. Two novices taking care of a baby and learning the in and outs has been rough, so if another one comes I want to be fully trained. I finally got wet on the other day, I believe I'm broke in now.
