Hi there, Sarah! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so excited for you to plan a visit to the Disneyland Resort! Lately, we've seen many of our favorite activities return to the Happiest Place on Earth, including
Character Greetings! For quite some time, interactions with characters have been modified, but now, we get to hug Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and the rest of the crew! If meeting your favorite characters was not an activity already on your budding itinerary, I suggest taking some time to give Mickey a big squeeze!
Though I cannot price out your trip specifically, I can certainly point you in the right direction to do so from the comfort of your own home, or even with the help of an expert! There are many components to planning a Disneyland vacation, so if you're overwhelmed by the options, just know that you are not alone!
The first step is to settle on your preferred. dates or time frame and begin browsing your accommodation options. Under the
Places to Stay tab on the Disneyland Resort Website, you can do a deep dive into the amenities, rooms and prices of each
Disneyland Resort Hotel, as well as
Good Neighbor Hotels. Depending on your hotel choice, you may even be able to turn your stay into a
vacation package, including tickets to the theme parks.
You'll want to think ahead about your theme park tickets, too. Do you plan to visit just one park per day, or would you prefer to explore both within the same day using a
Park Hopper Ticket? If you're short on time, the Park Hopper Ticket gives you the most flexibility to experience as much as you can. If you're staying a few days, one park per day tickets are sufficient to experience the magic at each of the two theme parks!
Sarah, if it all still feels overwhelming, I'd recommend calling in our Fairy Godparents! Disneyland Cast Members are helpful, kind and incredibly knowledgeable! They can help with each aspect of your stay, adding a dash of pixie dust to the planning process! You can
call a Cast Member directly to get the ball rolling!
I hope this is helpful, Sarah! Please feel free to reach back out to us here at planDisney if you need anything else during the planning process!
Have a magical day,
Ashley
