Hi Sherry!
I hope 2018 is certainly the year you make your Magical vacation to the
Disneyland Resort, a reality!
I would say the best place to start is the Disneyland website.
I'm sorry to hear you've had a hard time navigating the site... I promise it's very user-friendly.
One idea to help you begin planning is to start with exploring the possibility of a
vacation package!
With a vacation package, you get accommodations at one of the three Disneyland Resort Hotels,
Park tickets and even a character dining meal!
Plus, a vacation package lets you leave a deposit and pay-as-you-go until a month before your trip which is when the balance is due.
Another idea is to call guest services at (714) 520-5060 and have them guide you through some planning ideas.
If you visit during the month of October, for example, you may want to consider Mickey's Halloween Party which is a Spooktacular celebration for the young and the young-at-heart!
Summertime is always a good idea too, especially if you plan ahead. Keep in mind, however, that it's also the busiest time of year at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Either way, rest assured there will be something Magical for everyone in your party– from the 1-year old Mouseketeer to the teenagers and adults... everyone will have a blast!
TaTa for now!
ChEARs,
