When the OP said Disneyland I thought Anaheim, Ca. Many people have answered with suggestions for Disney World, FL. Maybe the OP can clarify which one it is.
Either place, I agree that Rover.com might help.

I did a quick google search and found several 4 star or better kennel/ daycares in the area. Most open at 7 am and close at 5,6 or 7.
If you need more than 8 to 12 hours at Disneyland then consider an overnight stay for your pet.
I just completed a 34 day trip from California to Georgia and back. My preferred kennel charges $75 per day. That’s why we decided to take the rv and dog vs. flying and make a real trip out of it. Do the math. Pets aren’t cheap.
I feel for you and hope it all works out.

when traveling our preferred kennel is PetSmart. Daycare and overnights are not expensive and, except on Sunday, they are open early and close late. not every PetSmart has the 'PetsHotel' but those that do are worth it.

For me, I would never let a stranger care for my pets (or children), even for a few hours. If I needed to have someone watch my pets or take them to a kennel or daycare, then I would not take my pets with me - I'd board them at a kennel I know and trust or have someone I know and trust stay at the house with them.
As the OP has not responded, I suspect they just wanted to vent and weren't really looking for advice on what to do.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions ! I'll look into them for future trips. We have traded off taking the kids to Disneyland so one of us could stay with the dogs. In past with older dogs we've left them in the RV as they were quiet, and have a temp sensor that alerts us when the temp changes. We also keep a video baby monitor on the iPad so we can check in and talk to them, hear them.
Difference this time is the younger dog who barks at strange noises, as dogs should do of course ! However, I have tested her for 30 - 45 min periods and she is doing really well - not making a peep. I think she's gotten used to the noises this week.
Sorry for not responding sooner, it's been a crazy week. I appreciate all your comments and suggestions !

^I bet the kid that gets left at home to watch the pets isn’t very happy with this family plan! Lol!
Do you make the kids draw straws to see who stays home from Disneyland? Or is it rock paper scissors or simply a fair rotation? Hahaha

What about boarding just the younger dog and taking the older dog? Doesn't seem like much of a "family" experience of you don't go as a family into the park. As a parent (and not a criticism-you know your family) I see a lot of possible resentment if one child feels the other got special treatment.

I believe the OP meant the PARENTS took turns taking the kids into the park - the other parent stayed back with the dogs. Not that the KIDS took turns going into the park.
I truly doubt the OP made one kid stay behind each day.

^^This, that's the way I took his meaning, parents taking turns.
