Hi Lisi! Welcome to planDisney! As fellow Guests, we know the ins and outs of planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort can be filled with oh-so-much magic, but it can be hard to know where to start. We are here to help!
It sounds like you are planning a multi-day trip and purchasing One Park Per Day tickets. This is a wonderful way to experience the Happiest Place on Earth! It really allows you to focus on what both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park have to offer and explore everything from the attractions to entertainment to treats!
When it comes to making a plan for each day, have I got some magical news for you! Imagine asking the one and only Genie to plan your perfect Disneyland Resort day. He’ll ask you a few questions about what you like to do - do you love princesses and far, far away galaxies? is Space Mountain a can't miss attraction? do you want to focus on experiences for little ones? is catching a glimpse of Minnie Mouse a lifelong dream? and POOF! A customized itinerary is created just for you! And the best part? It's all complimentary as part of the new
Disney Genie Service within the Disneyland Mobile App. The itinerary is interactive so you can accept and remove suggestions and it will continue to update as you move through your day. If you're traveling with a group, I like to include a "must-do" for everyone in my Genie selections. This ensures that everyone gets their own personalized piece of the magic!
A little logistical pre-planning can go a long way. I always recommend downloading the app well ahead of time and getting familiar with all the features. You can link theme park tickets for everyone in your party, make your
theme park reservations, tell Genie your preferences for each day of your trip and make
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your arrival.
Once you're in the park, use Genie as your guide! In addition to your itinerary, you can add a bit more magic to your day with the new time-saving
Lightning Lanes. You can upgrade to Genie+, which will give you access to Lightning Lanes on several attractions like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, or you can purchase Individual Lightning Lanes a la carte for some of the more popular attractions like
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
And while Genie is whisking you through your day, I'm sure you'll be building up an appetite! If you like to be grab-and-go, be sure to give
Mobile Ordering a try - this makes coordinating meals and snacks a breeze! If you weren't able to snag a coveted dining reservation, try the new
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability feature in the app. Once you are in the park, add your name to the list at select table service restaurants. You'll get a notification when a table becomes available all while riding your favorite attractions and skipping down Main Street, U.S.A.!
Lisi, I truly hope your trip is filled with the most magical memories that last a lifetime!
Keep wishing on those stars,
Tara
