Disney's Grand Californian
The Disneyland Hotel
Disney's Paradise Pier

1. The best time to visit disneyland is...

Early September. School has started and crowds are light. May is also good– a bit more crowded than September but not as hot.

2. lines 13, 20, and 21 move fastest

At the Disneyland entrance, lines 13, 20, or 21 move fastest. Strange but true.

3. buy your tickets online

It’s easy, you won’t have to wait in line, they won’t get lost, and you can usually save some money.

4. 3 Day passes are the most popular

The longer you stay, the less you pay per day. And it’s a great way to see all of the nighttime entertainment which is impossible to see with just a 2-day ticket!

5. Disneyland hotels are worth it

For the most immersive Disneyland experience, stay on property. The three on-site hotels — Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel — are creatively-themed with great Disney touches.

6. Know which rides will be closed

There are few things more disappointing than finding out last-minute that your (or your child’s) favorite ride is CLOSED for refurbishment. For a list of rides that will be closed, call (714) 781-4565 or look on their website.

7. you can talk to disneyland directly

Call Disneyland directly at 714-781-7290 if you have specific questions. You’ll get a real person.

8. the Best rides for toddlers are

  • It’s a Small World
  • Dumbo the Flying Elephant
  • Casey Jr. Circus Train
  • The Monorail
  • The Railroad

  • 9. Don't drink the water

    Buying bottled water at the park is expensive and you can’t bring them onto rides so you end up throwing most of them away. Bring water with you or ask for a cup of water at the concessions stand– it’s free.

    10. Don't wait in line

    If someone in your group is too young or scared to ride something but you'd still like to go, tell the person working the ride. You can get in a single-rider line that is WAY faster.
