Hey there, Mariana! Welcome to planDisney, I am so excited that you wish to visit Disneyland Resort during the merriest time of the year! You will fall in love with the decor, holiday overlays of many beloved rides and attractions, and the A Christmas Fantasy parade in Disneyland Park is one that can't be missed! Let's help you get started planning!
Mariana, the first item on your list is to decide which Disney Resort you wish to call home during your visit. Disneyland is home to three wonderful options:
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa,
Disneyland Hotel, and
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. Take a look at all three options, and see which one best fits the needs of your family, and budget. When you are ready to book, you can call the
Vacation Packages office at (714) 520-5060.
Next item on our list are tickets, and optional add-ons. I suggest at least one full day in each park, that way you can maximize your time at each one, and I suggest an extra 1-2 days with the Park Hopper added on to your ticket, so that you can focus on rides and attractions that you and your family loved the first time around.
Finally, dining reservations! I suggest at least one dining reservation each day, whether it is a character meal at
Plaza Inn for breakfast, or a dinner with a
dining package for World of Color. Enjoy time with your family, without having to stand in long lines for food and finding a spot to sit and eat, and character meals are great because you are not having to wait in a line to meet them!
Mariana, I hope all of this information helps you on your planning journey! Please feel free to stop by the planDisney website again with any more questions you many have with planning your visit. Make sure to check
