Tips for Disneyland with a just turning 2 year old?

Mentioning the silhouettes actually reminds me that I’d love to get her one of the name art things that used to be near the Matterhorn? Where they paint each letter like a different character? Anyone know if that still exists? It’s amazing the things you barely notice or don’t notice at all when you’ve only done adults only trips!
Yes, it still exists. It is located in Disneyland by the Matterhorn and DCA in Hollywood and on Pixar Pier. See this thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/face-painting-in-the-parks.3964683
 
I love these - thank you!

Your #2 made me laugh because our daughter LOVES rocks and I can totally see this. We’ve been to DLR dozens of times and I realized I have zero idea where any rocks might be…but I know she will find them! 🤣

I had never considered #9, but I love that idea. DH looked it up, and they need to sit still for 90 seconds? Might be a stretch for her, but maybe a good video on a phone will do the trick….

Legit I just held my phone at eye level for the kiddo.

Thanks! I wasn’t thinking of face painting, though (no way our daughter can handle that yet!), but of the framed name art where every letter was themed off a different character and they’d paint people’s names. I only remember seeing it from the Matterhorn line, but don’t remember exactly where.

Look at the thread and scroll down to where I posted pictures. The face painting and name art are done by the same company. They are at the same locations. Note that face painting character options vary depending on location. Name art might as well.

Oops, I totally missed that in the pictures! Thank you!
 
There are a few spots in DCA where a stroller (or lap) nap are entirely possible while mom & dad enjoy some adult beverages. That was my wife's and my plan rather than returning all the way to the hotel room.
