Hey there Sheri,
Welcome to planDisney - we're so glad you're here! I'm thrilled to hear you're planning your trip to the Disneyland Resort early next year. It will be a really great time to visit the parks!
When planning my vacations to the Happiest Place on Earth, there are two specific tools I like to use. First is the
Disneyland Resort mobile app! When you're on-site for your visit, this is an absolute must-have. It has a map tab that shows you where you are in the parks and can be filtered to show things like attractions, dining options, entertainment and more.
The mobile app can also show you recommended attractions, you can check dining availability, use
Merchandise Mobile Checkout (where accepted), and more. I would highly recommend downloading this app and exploring it a few weeks before your visit. It's so helpful!
Second, I have found the
My Plans hub an incredibly helpful tool when trying to plan out specific reservations for upcoming trips. This page lists out the days of your upcoming trip and any associated reservations for each day. Plus, you can book new reservations (dining, park, enchanted extras) through convenient buttons at the top of the page. It's a really great option to see a bird's eye view of your trip!
Additionally, you said you'll be visiting early in 2024, so I would encourage you to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog to keep updated on everything that will be happening at the resort during your visit.
Thanks again for your question, Sheri! I hope you have a fantastic visit to the Disneyland Resort!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
