Disneyland

Photo cred: LA Times

The place where dreams come true is truly a great place for a date! While this isn't technically in Los Angeles, it's a mere hop, skip, and a jump (and sometimes a traffic jam) away. If you're a local, you probably have a annual pass and if you're not, who could come so close and not go?! There is tangible Disney magic in the air and you're sure to have a great time. While most people have probably been there before, here's a few ideas to spice it up for a date night:

Thunder Mountain: Keep your eye on the goat with the stick of dynamite in its mouth for an extra thrilling ride!

Hit up the Ghirardelli's chocolate shop for a free chocolate square

Stop by Boudin's for a slice of sour dough bread

Have a competition for the highest score at Midway Mania-be sure to check out these easter eggs to boost your scores! 

Get in touch with your artsy side at the Animation Studios-take a short sit down break and learn to draw a Disney character. While you're hear be sure to check out Turtle Talk with Crush, it so totally rocks! (dude!)

Throughout the day have a funny face contest on each of the rides. Take a picture of each of your best ones.

Stop by City Hall and answer a trivia question to become an Honorary Citizen of Disneyland

Head to the Enchanted Tiki Room and get a Dole Whip while waiting to get inside (way better than waiting the 45 minutes in the line outside the attraction). 

See who can name more of the countries referenced in the It's a Small World attraction.

Read about Hidden Mickeys and see who can find more throughout the day.

Have the best corn dog of your life on Main Street USA

See if you can become the rebel spy on Star Tours (make sure to follow all the instructions that your given by the cast member)

Battle one another on Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters

Find a romantic area (amidst the waiting crowds) to enjoy the fireworks and parade together
