Many rides, especially thrill rides , take your picture while you ride. The pictures are displayed on monitors for a short time immediately after the ride. You can purchase a copy in some locations, but Disney also allows guests to snap a picture of the image on the screen with their own device. Try that at any other amusement park and you will get a harsh reprimand.
If you have MaxPass, which comes with unlimited PhotoPass downloads, you can also download and share the hi-res attraction images through the Disneyland Mobile App. Just type in the photo number from the monitor into the app. Just be sure to take that ticket with you and get it validated. In Downtown Disney, anyone can build with Legos outside the Lego store. You can construct a project and play with it. There are some interactive brick-building stations inside the store as well.
They have videos and toys to entertain the kids while you listen to the presentation. It comes in handy if you want to protect your phone or camera from getting soaked on the ride or need to store something for a short time. You can find these somewhat-hidden lockers to the left of the ride entrance and behind the large bear. There are some fake stories circulating the Internet about free things to do at Disneyland. Let the frog family set them straight. There is no longer a certificate of any kind associated with this ride. Do not attempt to give birth or lay tadpole eggs in the park.
Years ago, when a baby was accidentally born in the park the child received a lifetime admission to Disneyland. As word got out, Disney found that women were trying to induce labor in the park just to receive free Disneyland visits for life, so that policy stopped many years ago. We always want to know of any new free or inexpensive things to do at Disneyland, so let us know your discoveries too.
