And let us know if you have any specific questions about how a California experience will compare or about the parks, etc.
I have just started researching Disneyland parks. Bought the "unofficial guide" !!! What I need to know are things like...
Dining - What is the 'classic' table service for DL Parks - Not necessarily a character meal...I have heard Blue Bayou, but I was just wondering what other people think...
I know I need a fast pass to see World of Color, but do I really need a dining package?
We want a good experience, but we are not looking to break the bank or spend a whole lot of time dining. I am thinking more along the lines of more counter service type places, but again, which are recommended?
Would appreciate info on favorite and unique snacking options as well.
Any other recommendations on what not to miss, or 'make sure you do this first' would be appreciated.

Sorry if this is too late DW and I have run the Dumbo for the past two years and I will be at Avengers. We are regular runDisney people, and go to DL often.
As far as your questions...
Blue Bayou for sure, it's about the only "classic" one there, to me. But it is pricey our meal was 90$ for two of us. Also you will need a reservation, especially if you are planning on going race day.
No need for World of Color Fast Pass.
Lots of easy counter service dinning at Disneyland, make sure you take in a show at the original Golden Horseshoe saloon.
In honestly would just make sure you took a slow stroll around the park, and I would not do too much research. One of the coolest things about DL for DW folks, is just experiencing the differences. Even the subtle ones. Pirates, Splash, Small World, etc they are different.
Im a nostalgia guys so just give me a day in the original Fantasyland and I would be fine. Walk through the Sleeping Beauty deal at the castle, look for random animatronics. There is a lot more attention to detail out there IMO.
I am excited for you!
EDIT....I thought this was an Avenrgers Race thread, just realized you were talking DL half...oops! So how was your run? We had a good race, not many characters out though.
Loads of trips since 1974...
