I like to ask myself, "What do I know that could help someone else?" Today the answer to that question is, "RideMax."RideMax is what you'll need if you happen to be going to Disneyland (you lucky dog you). RideMax is a planning software that completely maps out your day at Disneyland. It just so happens to know when rides are the busiest, which way to turn in line for the shortest wait time, which seat will give you the most optimal ride, and how to use a fast pass most efficiently.
We used RideMax last spring and were blown away by how well it worked. You've heard of laughing all the way to the bank? Well we didn't do that, but we did laugh all the way to the front of almost every line. And lets face it, you're going to be paying $15 for a bottle of water at Disneyland so why not ante up $15 for something that will really keep you refreshed. And if for some crazy reason you're disappointed because you really like spending hours in line with toddlers and foreigners, simply let RideMax know of your displeasure and they'll refund your $15 faster than you can say "Mickey Mouse."
One more thing, if you've got extra room in your car - call me - I'm available!

"toddlers and foreigners?"...I have to say that that surprised me. Not so nice.
Whats wrong with waiting in line with foreigners?
Yeah, I agree...the "foreigners" comment kinda bothered me too. (And no, I'm not an easily offended type of person).
Haha...why be offended?! I am a foreigner and do not care....i sometimes stereotype Americans as well. I live in Amsterdam and trust me...sometimes let´s call them vacationers or just tourists bother me as well...but that´s my problem i guess...i don´t know where you are all from but i am sure people bother you sometimes......we just all act different right! I liked this post and will recommend the tip to the Europeans that are visiting Disneyland soon!
Jesus is a foreigner.
Thanks for the website! I just wrote myself a note to revisit the site in September...we're going to Disneyland in October.
I have a feeling that this post is not going to go over well with the masses b/c of the foreigners comment -- but I do appreciate the RideMax tip!!! Planning a Disney trip in the next year or so and I will definitely check it out.
Suzanne here. My deepest apologies to any I have offended. I love toddlers and foreigners. I was simply trying to make a point about waiting in line with the whole world. Please forgive. Thanks for having my back Lydia de Jong!
We love Ridemax in our family. We have used it twice and it's brilliance has served us well. I would not visit Disneyland without it.
Wait. Stop. Which Sister-in-law is Suzanne?
Du dummer Amerikaner und deine dummen Themenparks. Ich hasse Mickey Mouse. Jezt entschuldigen Sie mich, ich muss zuruck meiner Bratwurst bekommen.
Americaine typique. Toujorurs jouer les stereotypes. Je crache sur votre blog. Litteralement, je viens de cracher sur mon ecran. Chaque matin je me reveille et pense, vous savez ce que le monde a besoin?" Plus politiquement correct!
Funny how all the "look for any little thing to be negative about" posters are always "anonymous".
Coincidence much?
Thanks for the tip about Ridemax. I live in Florida and didnt know that!

We discovered RideMax a few years ago and love, love, love it. We do all the tips, stick to the plan and by 3pm we have ridden all the rides that we want, with no more than a 15 min. wait in lines.
I am having the best time with your blog this week. I love all these ideas from your SILs. And this one about tracting Disneyland is amazing!
This is a message for Chup.
Chup: Thanks for the great gift ideas for the menfolk. I got my husband the G-Shock watch for Father's Day and I got my husband, my dad, and his dad all the microstream flashlights also for Fathers Day. The comments alone were worth it. They had no idea how I knew about or where to get such great stuff and I didn't let on...THANK YOU THANK YOU. I hope you do this every year!
I think its silly for anyone to raise their eyebrows at the mention of "foreigners"! I live in a big tourist town in England and everyone here dislikes the tourist seasons. It has nothing to do with people being from another country, there are just too many people during those times that you can hardly move around town. This "political correctness" is just out of hand! What has happened to common sense?
If you have an iPhone, you can download a free app with all the Disneyland wait times. Totally worth it, and right on the money.
p.s. I totally got the sarcasm in the toddlers and foreigners. Come on people, don't be so serious.
I just have to comment and say that we have used Ridemax twice now - once at Disneyland and once at The Magic Kingdom. The latest time was last December just a few days before Christmas. It was crazy busy but we still went on everything that we wanted to with no line longer than twenty minutes. We talked to some friends who went the same day and they barely got on anything. I will never ever go without Ridemax again!
How do you guys know Suze wasn't talking about the band foreigners? It's all about intent in writing, don't you think? "I want to know what love is. . . " more love, man, less hate.
Typical French. Always misspelling "toujour."
My husband and I do Disneyland every year and even without RideMax, we never wait more than 15-20 minutes for a ride. I just don't see how it's fun to stick to a schedule. Our secret is being flexible and spontaneous. If we're walking toward Splash Mountain and we see that Jungle Cruise only has a 5 minute, we ride that first. I think scheduling a trip is just silly. It's much more fun to see what happens, in my opinion.
