Hello there Deanne!
Welcome to planDisney, you've come to the right place to help plan your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth!" The
hours & events calendar on the Disneyland site will be a great resource as you plan your trip.
I love to reference what time Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park will open for the day, since we always like to arrive early to experience our favorite attractions first thing in the morning! If you are staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel, you'll also get to take advantage of
early entry at a designated theme park each day of your hotel stay.
You'll also be able to view the entertainment schedule to help plan your day and if there are any shows, parades, or nighttime spectaculars to enjoy during your trip. It's usually updated about 60 days in advance, but with special
Halloween Time and
Holiday Time activities and events, it may not always be 60 days in advance. I always encourage Guests to keep checking the entertainment schedule as your trip gets closer.
I also highly recommend exploring the
Disney Parks Blog before your trip. It's such a great resource for any Disney trip, but especially around the seasonal celebrations! I love to browse the foodie guides and make a list of all of the yummy seasonal treats and snacks that I know I'll want to try during our visit.
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Deanne! Don't hesitate to
follow-up with me directly if I can help with any other questions or recommendations.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
