Hi Pauline,
Thanks for visiting planDisney! It sounds like you're ready to map out your Disneyland adventure—and I’m thrilled to help you hit the road toward magic!
I have good news: there are printable park maps available for both
Disneyland and
California Adventure. These are downloadable PDF maps that you can print at home to help plan your visit. They’re great tools for familiarizing yourself with the layout of each park—and if you take a closer look, you’ll spot some magical details! At California Adventure, you can see a pair of race cars speeding through
Radiator Springs Racers, and at Disneyland, a train winding its way through
Thunder Mountain. How cool!
If you're still in the early stages of planning, I recommend checking out the
2025 events calendar to get an idea of what special happenings might be taking place. One of my personal favorites is the
Lunar New Year Festival—it's full of vibrant performances, culturally inspired cuisine, and a joyful atmosphere that lights up Disney California Adventure.
Even more exciting: Disneyland will be celebrating its
70th Anniversary starting May 16, 2025! The celebration will run through summer 2026, with a short pause during the holiday season. It’s the perfect time to visit and be part of Disney history!
I hope this helps keep your planning running smoother than Lightning McQueen on a fresh stretch of track, Pauline! If you have any more questions or need additional tips, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your vacation.
Happy planning—and ka-chow!
