Hiya Brandy!
Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're ready to visit the parks as soon as possible, so let's grab the pixie dust and get moving!
The first thing to do is
purchase tickets and
make theme park reservations. Take a look at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar to see what days are open, and then get those tickets right away! When you buy tickets on the Disneyland website you can make your park reservations at the same time, so that's very helpful. You'll have the chance to choose to visit one park or add Park Hopping to your tickets, then choose which park you want to visit each day as you complete your purchase.
Speaking of tickets, there is an amazing
special offer on a 3-Day Park Ticket right now! I personally think that three days is the perfect amount of time to visit the Disneyland Resort, especially if you aren't park hopping. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy attractions, shows, and snacks in both parks!
Dining reservations can be a little tough at the last minute, but there are
tons of quick-service locations with great food. Some of my favorites are:
Download the
Disneyland Mobile App and you'll be able to explore the menus for all the dining locations. You can even use the app to order food to pick up later! The app is also the perfect tool to check wait times for attractions, view the
entertainment schedule, and even chat with a Cast Member if you need help. It's awesome!
I hope this helps you get started with your planning, Brandy! Let us know if you have more questions!
Keep moving forward!
