What can I say about Disneyland that hasn't been said before? I miss it so much during this Covid lockdown. I hope it opens soon!!
I've been coming here at least yearly while growing up with my family and have had annual passes for the last 12 years. We try to go a least monthly, it is a getaway from daily life. We don't usually have things planned and just go with the flow. We find TONS of little pieces of magic everywhere. Some of our best memories are at Disneyland.
TIPS
Download the Disneyland App, it's free & makes life easier! You can do so much in the app! Check wait times for rides before heading over, mobile orders so you can pick up at a specific time instead of waiting in each line, set up fast passes, make reservations at dining & events, restaurant menus, & interactive park map.
Mobile order as much as you can, use the Disneyland app & you can save soo much time instead of standing in lines!
Get Maxpass, it is worth it!! Right now, it's $15/day, but you can choose your fast passes on the app instead of physically walking to each ride to get each fast pass, such a time saver! Plus, it stores all your photos taken by Disney cast members or on rides.
FAVE RIDES
Big Thunder Mt Railroad - medium thrill outdoor roller coaster, love this ride!
Pirates of the Caribbean - slow indoor log ride with a couple of small drops, inspiration for the movies & there is something to be said about that addictive water smell in the air.
Indiana Jones Adventure - indoor thrill ride like a ROUGH trip in a Jeep. Don't let this Asian sit in the driver's seat! LOL. Love the queue line!
Disneyland Railroad - has 4 stops around the park at the 3, 6, 9 & 12 clock hands. We use this to get around the park quickly or for our afternoon naps!
Haunted Mansion - a classic! Slow moving buggies that give you a tour around the mansion. Turns into Nightmare Before Christmas themed from Halloween to Christmas seasons.
Rise of the Resistance - OMG! This has got to be the most technological ride experience! A definite MUST DO! It's amazing! Based on a track-less system (magnets) so it is super smooth!
Star Tours - Love all the new enhancements! The ride is caught up with the Star Wars movies with all the new characters! 3D Simulator ride.
FAVE FOODS/SNACKS
Dole Whip - Pineapple, mango, raspberry or lemon flavored soft serve. Go to Tropical Getaway for this as there are more flavors & add ons!
Churros - I don't know why, but Disneyland has THE BEST churros! They often have seasonal flavors too! Located in carts around the parks.
French Market Restaurant - casual cafeteria style set up. Get the beef po'boy, OMG! Comes with yummy chips!
Harbour Galley - Want something different than usual park food? Get a lobster roll or Lobster Mac n cheese in a breadbowl! Both delish! A small kiosk window with very limited seating. We get it to go & sit with our friends at French Market ;)
