25 DISNEY TIPS FOR TRAVEL
25 DISNEY TIPS FOR TRAVEL
It’s no secret that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth! If you are planning an upcoming Disney vacation, learn how to make the most of your trip with these awesome Disney tips…
1. Disneyland on the Cheap – If you are looking for ways to do Disneyland on the cheap, you have got to check out these AMAZING money-saving Disney tips from Fun, Cheap, or Free! First of all, we pretty much ADORE Jordan and her awesome saving hacks (be sure to share some love with her over on her blog!) And second, she has come up with THE ULTIMATE guide to vacationing at Disneyland on a budget! No joke, this is THE BEST and MOST DETAILED Disneyland money-saving article out there — There are so many great Disney tips, Jordan even had to split her guide into THREE parts! Here are parts 2 and 3! 2. “Single Rider” or “Rider Switch” Option – Do you LOVE Disneyland, but hate the lines? Here are a couple secret tips to help you minimize your wait! The “Single Rider” is a lesser known option that can help you significantly reduce wait times! The “Single Rider” option is available on several of the attractions at Disneyland and California Adventure, and is ESPECIALLY helpful if you are visiting with adults or older kids. The second way to get around those long lines is with the “Rider Switch” option. This option is especially great for families with young children. If you have kids who aren’t able to ride a particular attraction, the “Rider Switch” provides a way for both parents to get a turn without having to wait in line a second time! 3. Quickly Find Your Favorite Disney Characters – Save time trying to hunt down your favorite Disney characters, by learning their locations on Finding Mickey! For example, did you know you can find most of the Disney Princesses at the new Princess Fantasy Faire (to the left before the Castle) or the Frozen characters in Fantasyland? (Find more info HERE) Learn more about where you can find your favorite Disney characters! 4. Bring In Your Own Food to Disneyland – One of our favorite Disney tips is to bring your own food and drinks! Yes, you read right! Disneyland actually ALLOWS you to bring in your own food and drinks to the park (as long as there is no alcohol or glass containers). You can get a variety of Disney themed snacks for a fraction of the cost you would pay in the park. 5. Must-Try Disneyland Park Snacks – Let’s face it, the rides at Disneyland are not the only things that look amazing! How about the food?! If you are looking for a few Disneyland snacks that are actually worth the splurge, check out this list of Disney tips from one of our favorite girls and designers, Kristin at Yellow Bliss Road! 6. FREE Disney Souvenirs – Shhhh…Here is an AWESOME Disneyland secret your kids will LOVE! Did you know Disneyland offers some free souvenirs? Ask for a free map of the Jungle Cruise when exiting the attraction or go to a free drawing class taught by a real Disney animator and keep your masterpiece!
