Greetings, Elena, and welcome to planDisney! Hot dog, it's time for your trip! I love that the Silhouette Studio is on your radar – it's a unique, budget-friendly souvenir that is also a memorable experience!
I chatted with a few Cast Members to dig into this a little more, and here's what I learned: The
Silhouette Studio has one entrance for Guests, and it's level with the walkway. You can use any of the curb ramps along Main Street, U.S.A. to get onto the walkway that goes along the shops. This location typically has a line. If you're in the parks early in the morning, you could try going here first. It can sometimes be less busy during parades and nighttime spectaculars, though there will still be quite a few Guests gathering in the area for the entertainment. Later in the evening may be a good option.
Did you know that you may also find a silhouette artist inside
Disneyana near the Disneyland Railroad station on Main Street, U.S.A.? This location is often less busy than the other one. It also appears to be a little larger inside, which may be better if you're traveling with a mobility device.
It's amazing to see the talent of the Cast Members who create the silhouettes. They can hand-cut a portrait in around 90 seconds! I highly recommend purchasing the frame to tie it all together.
As you prepare for your magical day, I want to make sure you know about a helpful page on the Disneyland Resort website that has lots of information for
Guests with mobility needs. You can learn about accessing attraction queues, restrooms, parking, and more.
Make sure to download the
Disneyland mobile app if you don't have it already. You can use it to check attraction wait times, filter attractions based on whether or not they require a transfer, mobile order food, make dining reservations, and more. You can also check showtimes for all of the wonderful entertainment across the park – don't miss my favorites,
Fantasmic! and
Paint the Night.
Elena, I hope you have a wonderful time visiting the Disneyland Resort. If you have any questions while at the park, stop by one of the
Guest Relations locations or use the chat feature in the mobile app. Of course, you can also come back to planDisney – we're always happy to help!
Wishing you magic,
Kriss
