Hi Karla! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
You're going to have the most magical time! The
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort are one of the best times of the year to visit. My family will be arriving at the parks soon too, and I can help you plan your visit without too much effort.
First, if you'd like to make
reservations for dining, you can do so online. While reservations typically open up 60 days out and can fill up fast, people's plans do change. If they cancel, availability will change. If you don't see a reservation today, keep checking. Hopefully, you find the perfect spot to enjoy a meal and rest your feet during a long day.
Quick Service dining is also available and there are lots of delicious options. You don't have to plan in advance to eat at Quick Service locations, but you can view their menus in the
Disneyland mobile app to find spots that appeal to your personal taste. Plus, on the day of your visit, you can order in advance of your meal time by using the
mobile order function that's available at many locations. This is a great time saver!
Play around in the app ahead of your arrival. Being familiar with its functions will make the day go more smoothly. Not only can you mobile order food and beverages, but you can also check Attraction wait times, navigate using the map, find your favorite Characters, and more.
You'll find a full list of
Attractions at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park online and on the app. Filter the list for the park you'll be visiting, height requirements, and other details that can help you decide which Attractions are on your must-do list. "it's a small world" Holiday is on my list for our next trip.
If you want to spend less time waiting in queues, consider selecting the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass option if you don't have it added to your tickets already. You can purchase it using the app after scanning into the parks for the day subject to availability. Prices are subject to change, so what you see on the app today might be different on the day you arrive.
The
Daily Events Schedule has the information you'll need for planning your day from parades to fireworks. These details might change, but there's so much to explore right now! Choosing is the hardest part!
Have the merriest time.
