Your Expert Disneyland Travel Advisor

The Matterhorn Disneyland Anaheim, California

Hi! My name is Adam Wyler. I am your certified expert Disneyland travel advisor. Disneyland opened to guests October 1st, 1955. In February 2025, the 1 billionth guest walked into the theme park! While the rides, entertainment, and dining offerings have changed greatly, there is only 1 original Disneyland! To start, the Disneyland resort property is located in Orange County in the city of Anaheim. The complex includes Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Downtown Disney District. In addition, Disney owns 3 hotels adjacent to the theme parks.....Disneyland Hotel, Pixar Place Hotel, and Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa. If you have never been to Disneyland, you should know there are many factors to consider. Disneyland is primarily a theme park resort area, so you want to know what time of year is the best to travel to the resort. If you have children under 18, your time to travel is going to be limited to when the kids aren't in school. If you don't have any kids in school, attendance is slower and hotel prices are lower while the kids are in school. You should know that Disneyland reservations arranges round-trip airfare, hotel reservations, theme park tickets option, meal plans, and optional travel protection. The benefit of booking these components in a resort package is the deposit is much lower and in most instances, the prices are lower than if you wait until arriving at Disneyland to secure everything. In addition, I will be able to list all the components of the package for you when I send you the invoice. The next major vacation component is to figure out how many days you want to go to the 2 theme parks. You might want to visit the other 2 Disney-owned resorts or to enjoy the Downtown Disney District for a day or 2. The higher the number of days on your admission ticket, the lower the price per day it is. You will also need to decide if you want to hop between both parks each day. There are also pre-paid dining options on your package too. You can add round-trip airfare, ground transportation to and from Disneyland and travel protection to the package too. Another resort benefit is one of theme parks open early on certain days. They also offer Lightnight Lane on the MyDisneyExperience app on your phone. This is an app that helps you plan out your days with attraction suggestions, skipping lines, and ordering quick-service meals. In addition, Disneyland partners with other theme parks in the area like Universal Studios and Knot's Berry Farm. Sometimes there are promotions between the various theme parks for admission or food discounts. I hope to hear from you about your Disneyland vacation!
