Hi Jessica!
Thanks for stopping by our corner of the magic here at planDisney! It looks like your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just a few days away, so let's make sure you have all your pre-travel plans in place to ensure a smooth arrival.
Happy to report that Disneyland Resort accepts cash (USD currency) along with other payment methods, including major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diner's Club), Disney Gift Cards, and Disney Reward Redemption Cards. Personally, I love to use Apple Pay, which is accepted at most quick-service restaurants and merchandise locations - feels like I get to just wave my magic wand and away we go!
If your preference is cash, you'll be happy to know that there are several
ATMs available throughout the resort, easily found on the map in the Disneyland Mobile App. Simply navigate to the teardrop icon in the bottom navigation bar and scroll to "Guest Services" along the top navigation bar of the map. This will bring up all the Guest Services offered, but you can filter it to just ATMs by tapping "Show List" on the bottom right-hand corner and selecting ATM. Tap "Find on Map" and all of the locations will be revealed to you! Additionally,
City Hall at Disneyland and the Chamber of Commerce at California Adventure offer banking services, including foreign currency exchange.
Jessica, I hope we've set you up for a successful day in the parks! You're visiting during both
Season of the Force at Disneyland and the
Food & Wine Festival at California Adventure. Among all of the special offerings, my absolute favorite is the return of
Hyperspace Mountain and
Soarin' Over California. Be sure to make time to enjoy these limited-time experiences!
If you have any more questions, we are always happy to help here at planDisney. I'm sending you along with some faith, trust, and pixie dust for a magical visit!
