If you've been waiting all summer for the newest star of Disneyland's Fantasmic! show to make his appearance, like my boys have, your wait is finally over! That's right, Maleficent (nicknamed "Murphy" for Murphy's Law) made his debut this past week. He made his first, official public appearance on Tuesday, although he didn't actually breathe "fire" until Wednesday night's performance. You can catch the dragon's performance yourself, any weekend (Friday through Sunday) until the Christmas holidays. If you are planning on catching his act, you might want to check out THESE Fantasmic! viewing tips. In the meantime, if you're too excited to wait. Or, if you want a sneak preview of Maleficent in action... then you have to check out this video HERE.

Tips for going to Disneyland with little boys

A few weeks ago we went to Disneyland with family and had 6 little boys under the age of 5! This kind of group dynamic does not lend itself to line waiting, so we had to come up with a more creative Disneyland Agenda. Try these spots to keep busy boys entertained at the happiest place on earth without having to endure long lines in the heat.

1. Goofy's Playhouse

2. Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island

3. Tarzan's Treehouse

4. Grab a fast pass for Buzz

5. Pirates of the Carribean (one of the fastest moving lines at Disneyland)

6. Jedi Training Academy

Starting June 12th make sure to see Fantasmic because Disney will be featuring a 45-foot-tall dragon. For dining with little boys my first pick would be the Celebration Round-Up at Big Thunder Ranch because bbq and cowboys means that they might sit still long enough to finish dinner. We had a great trip to Disneyland with our active bunch and hope you do too!
