Whether or not you’re coming from the better LA space for a half day or beginning shiny and early within the resort, it’s necessary to avoid wasting as many bucks as doable, particularly since you may’t herald any meals into the park.
However don’t go for the Mickey pancakes simply but! Ensure you load up on protein first. Protein will hold you energized and fuller, longer whereas beginning your day with sugar will result in a crash and a few crabbiness. Which brings me to…
4. Decide Your Poison Properly
Within the land of ‘EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN,’ it’s straightforward to get carried away. Between churros, lollipops, ice cream, fudge, candied apples and beignets (my favourite), you’re not solely going to interrupt your financial institution, however your waistline and vitality gage.
Now, for those who’re there in your first time, for at some point solely, and have dreamed about today since without end… then bulk up on PeptoBismol and eat all of it!
Nevertheless if that is your third time or mayyybe you’re making an attempt to final greater than 1 day at Disneyland, respect your physique and your pockets. Keep on with 1 or 2 sweets all day lengthy and SEARCH AROUND for tasty, protein-packed dishes at Disneyland. I promise you, they’re there. And I promise, you’ll thank me when it’s over.

5. Quick Passes are your BFF
And you’ll by no means have too many BFFs.
Sadly, you may solely have 1 quick move per hour. Nevertheless, as soon as that point is up, you’re free to get one other one! It is possible for you to to journey twice as many sights for those who handle to have a quick move in your pocket whereas ready in line for a unique journey.

8. Make Certain to Watch At Least One Parade
Most likely probably the most magical moments of Disneyland is after I witness a parade. They’re all so stunning and thrilling! Seeing the colours, the costumes and the characters make you are feeling like a child once more. And to see the enjoyment on the precise kids’s face… le sigh… priceless.
From seasonal parades to the World of Coloration to the Paint the Night time Parade, you should have loads of choices.
Good seats require a half hour wait. GREAT SEATS would require you to discover a spot 2 hours earlier than the present. So use this time to loosen up and snack or have the drained member of the group go forward and discover the spots for you. Finest spots to view the parade are proper in entrance of the Sleeping magnificence Citadel or straight on Most important Avenue.
9. Rock that Cozy Swag
Mickey Ears, Star Wars backpacks, shirts, Disney chucks… rock all of it! There’s nothing like getting within the spirit with some Disney gear to get your spirit-o-meter at an all time excessive.
However don’t put on these super-cute skinny denims that journey up your crotch. Or your purple Minnie Mouse lipstick that can smear throughout your face while you eat a turkey leg (responsible).
Consuming, operating, sitting, standing in line will name for probably the most versatile and excessive functioning outfit. And simply to let you realize, there isn’t a such factor as an excessive amount of Disney swag. Belief me.
10. Seek for Legendary Hidden Treasures
11. Don’t Overpack
- A blanket to sit down on in the course of the parade
- Pockets
- Sunscreen
- Sun shades
- Wipes or Antibacterial
- Additional layers (Disneyland is scorching within the day and fairly cool at nights)
