Disneyland & California Adventures Tips!

We went to Disneyland first because we weren't staying at a "Good Neighbor Hotel" & there was early entry for California Adventures. Because of the "GNH" advantage, I decided Disney was the best choice. (tip: see if you're staying in a GNH & if not do what we did.) My dad wasn't going to the parks with us so he dropped us off SUPER early, 7:30. To my surprise they let us in almost immediately, & the park was close to empty. The adrenaline & excitement was rushing through our veins. tip #2: get to the park early, seriously. early bird really does get the worm.

tip #3: ride the train, it's amazing! it has 4 stops in different areas of the park. I love not walking.

tip #4: FASTPASS, this should be tip #1. It's so simple to use, trust me, UTILIZE IT!!!

tip #5:Take a break in the middle of the day, we took ours around 4, & it was so nice to get out of the heat & rest. Seriously, your feet will thank you!

tip #6: Watch "Micky & the Magical Map", if they still have the show going when you go to DL, it's a must-see. Songs from Pocahontas, the Little Mermaid, the Jungle Book & others are just some of the movies that we performed during the show.

tip #7: Get to the park early & wait in the Fastpass line for Radiator Springs Racers! We were pretty far back in line, but once it was 8am, the line went so fast! 

tip #8: head to Toy Story Mania as early as possible. The queue sucks, so the earlier you go the shorter the line. 

tip #9: Watch the Aladdin show. This show was so worth the wait, trust me, the show is spectacular.

tip #10: Use the Single Rider line at RSR, it's SO freaking fast. We rode this ride 5 or 6 times. The last time we decided to wait in the queue, BIG mistake. It was horrible, don't do it. Use the FASTPASS or Single Rider.

Cars Land is amazing, I would have spent the whole day there if I could, every ride there is a blast! 

tip #11: Don't watch the nighttime shows like Fantasmic or World of Color, they really aren't worth it. The biggest regret of the whole entire trip was waiting for Fantasmic, if you can skip it. We got a World of Color FASTPASS, but didn't use it. People reserve space for themselves 3-4 hours before the show even starts, it's ridiculous. 

Well, those are my tips, hope it helped (:
