Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Gabriel!
Sounds like you are planning to visit the Disneyland Resort soon and I couldn’t be more excited for you! Currently, partial-day tickets are not offered unless you happen to be visiting with a convention group that has set up twilight tickets for convention goers. One- and multi-day theme park tickets can be purchased at a ticket booth at the parks,
online, or on the
Disneyland app. Even if you won’t arrive to the parks until after 5:00 p.m. there is still plenty to see and do! For example, you can start by riding some of your favorite attractions. Most attractions will run all the way until the parks close for the night and you can check the Disneyland app when you arrive to see which attractions have the shortest wait times.
Then stop into one of the many eateries to enjoy a tasty and quick dinner. Flo’s V8 Café in Disney California Adventure Park happens to be one of my favorites because I can enjoy fried chicken and a chocolate shake while cars zoom by on Radiator Springs Racers. In Disneyland Park, Jolly Holiday Bakery Café or Hungry Bear Restaurant are my top picks for fast and delicious meals.
Then end your night with some outstanding nighttime entertainment! Fantasmic! usually has two shows per night and if the fireworks are scheduled on the day you visit, you can typically watch them after the first Fantasmic! performance right from where you viewed the show. Or you can watch my all-time favorite parade,
Paint the Night! This parade is absolutely mesmerizing and such a fun way to end your day.
I hope this helps. Have a fantastic time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
