Los Angeles – Disneyland
Disneyland is the stuff that dreams are made of, only it isn't a dream. It is very real and if you are lucky enough to get there it is a good idea to plan your visit very well so that you make the most of it. Here are some tips to make your visit to Disneyland a dream come true.
Tickets
Before you even get to Disneyland you need to get tickets and the easiest and cheapest way to buy tickets is online from kujibi.com. They will either send the tickets to your email or to your door or you can pick them up at Will Call. Children under 3 are free and anyone over 10 pays full price.
The Best Time of Year to Visit Disneyland
The best time to visit Disneyland is autumn because the kids are back at school after the summer and most of the attractions will still be open. During the summer you will find yourself waiting in line a lot as this is the busiest time of year. Any school holidays or long weekends will also be busy.
If you want the place almost completely to yourself then January and February would be the months to choose but these are usually pretty rainy months and some of the attractions will be closed.
How to Choose Your Hotel
When you are looking for a hotel if you visit Disneyland the most important thing you need to remember is not to just check the room rates but to check what is included in the price. Some hotels have really good offers including room tax, pet fees (if applicable), transportation to and from Disneyland, Disneyland parking (if you have a car), car rental, etc.
A Perfect Disneyland Experience
To ensure that your Disneyland experience is the best it could possibly be here are some more useful things to consider when planning your trip:
1. Get a Fast pass – if you have one of these your place will be saved in the line of one ride while you go and do something else.
2. If you don't mind splitting up from your friends or families for some of the rides go to the single-rider's line which usually moves much faster than the regular line.
3. Timing – it is a good idea to go to the most popular attractions during parades as they are usually less busy then. With regards to timing you should also eat your meals earlier than usual because the restaurants will be less crowded then and you will end up standing in shorter lines when everyone else is eating their lunch!
4. Shop before you drop – it is a good idea to do your shopping on Main Street early in the morning. Many of the shops open before the attractions and you can enjoy your shopping experience before the crowds start to arrive. You don't need to worry about carrying your purchases with you. You can leave them and pick them up when you go home. This is a really good tip because at the end of the day you are often too tired to go shopping and there are some really nice souvenirs and gifts to buy at Disneyland so it is a shame to miss out.
With all of these great tips all that is left for you to do is to meet Mickey and Minnie and friends and have the time of your life at Disneyland, Los Angeles!
