Wow...
... really great remarks posted here... and I wanted to add that there were other alternatives in case your AMUSEMENT PARK JUNKIE spouse is interested... we have a place north of LA called Magic Mountian with lots of serious roller coasters. Although from Disneyland it is over 1.5 hours WITHOUT TRAFFIC... it is an "all coaster" park.
