Fun! We went started when our daughter was 18 months and now we keep finding excuses to go again (heading again on April 30). Nothing better than seeing your kids reaction the the characters. Even the small rides seem grand and exciting to them. The 18month old may get scared on some of the dark rides even if they are slow and short, just depends on the kid.
Like everyone has said bring a double stroller. The little ones will get tired and power naps in the stroller work great. When that does happen me and the wife head to a larger ride, grab a rider switch and take turns going on it.
There are some great places to watch the parade that usually aren't as busy as Main Street. Head over to it's a small world area and get on the area between it and the nemo sub ride. There is a raised area that doesn't get too busy too fast and has easy views for everyone plus lots of room for your stroller. You can watch the fireworks from there too, however you will miss some of the castle fireworks (they do project onto it's a small world though).
If you are headed to California Adventure and your little ones watch Disney junior, Sophia, Doc and Jake make appearances there. They don't stay too long when they show up but I believe they come around a fair amount. Grab the free Disneyland app as it gives you the time and place to find character meets and estimated ride times
