Hi there, Jessica!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and I am so beyond excited for you to experience the magic of your very first Disneyland Resort vacation! When you enter Disneyland Park, make sure to stop by City Hall to receive your complimentary "1st Visit" button to let everyone know it's a special occasion.
I'm delighted to tell you that Disneyland Resort theme park admission includes all of the attractions, world-class entertainment, and unforgettable nighttime spectaculars at both Disneyland Park and/or Disney California Adventure Park. Even use of Disney FASTPASS is complimentary when you scan your ticket at FASTPASS distribution kiosks located near certain attractions. This will allow you to return back to an attraction at a specific time to bypass the standby queue. While all of this is included with a standard park ticket, there are some enhancements that can be added to maximize your experiences. For example, adding
Disney MaxPass to your ticket gives you the freedom to make Disney FASTPASS selections right from your phone using the Disneyland app when you are in the parks. You can also
upgrade certain Table Service dining reservations to include preferred viewing for some of the entertainment in the parks when you book a dining package.
I recommend downloading the Disneyland app and exploring park maps, attraction and Character locations, restaurants, and entertainment. This will help you make a list of "must-do's" before you arrive. This handy app also will be your greatest tool in the parks to give you attraction wait times and even the ability to order and pay for food and beverages at select Quick Service restaurants in both parks. It is such a time-saver!
I hope this helps, and have a Fantasmic day!
