Hey, howdy, hey!
Welcome to planDisney. "You've got a friend in me" and all of your pals here at planDisney. As regular Disney Parks Guests like you, each of us had to start somewhere with our Disneyland Resort vacation planning too. Now, it's our pleasure to pass on what we've learned to other Guests. As we help to make planning a Disneyland Resort vacation easy for others, the experience becomes that much more magical for everyone!
You've already mentioned the where: Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and the Disneyland Hotel. The next step is usually choosing the when. There's never a bad time to visit the Disneyland Resort. But I'll mention a few times you might consider. A lot is going on at the Disneyland Resort in 2025. Some special events that I would recommend experiencing include the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, which begins at the end of this month, the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, which starts November 14, 2025, and, of course, the Disneyland Resort 70th anniversary celebration will begin May 16, 2025. Any of those would be amazing times to consider.
Next up in your Disneyland Resort vacation planning is working out the how. You can book your Disneyland Resort Hotel stay separately. But since you already have an idea that you would like to stay at the Disneyland Hotel and also visit the two Disneyland Resort Theme Parks, booking a Disneyland Resort Vacation Package is a natural choice. To start, click "Book Your Vacation Package" and then select "Check Availability" for the Disneyland Hotel. After you select the room and nightly rate you would like, choose a number of days for Theme Park Tickets.
You may also select optional add-ons. The Park Hopper option allows you to pop back and forth between the parks after 11:00 AM, subject to capacity. The Lightning Lane Multi Pass option lets you use the Disneyland mobile app to choose from available return times to select attractions on the day of your visit. Redeem your return time reservation to experience the selected attraction with a reduced wait time. After you redeem a return time or a given minimum time has elapsed, you can select an available return time from a different attraction.
To wrap up your Vacation Package planning, choose optional ground transportation and vacation insurance options. Then continue with your contact information and payment method. Unless you are booking a stay that is in less than 30 days, your Vacation Package will only require a. The balance will be due 30 days before your arrival. If you feel you would like some individual guidance, you may reach out to a Cast Member by calling the Vacation Packages phone line.
We are grateful you stopped by planDisney. We'd be happy to help with any more planning questions you may have. Have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort!
