Greetings, Roy, and welcome to planDisney! You've come to the right place. I visit the Disneyland Resort often and have lots of tips to share. Let's get you the information you need to make this trip happen.
If you're looking for accommodations and theme park tickets, it's best to book a vacation package, which bundles the two and includes a few added perks. To fully immerse yourself in the Disney magic, stay at one of the three
Disneyland Resort hotels. You can alternatively choose to stay at a
Good Neighbor Hotel – there are options for various budgets and preferences.
You can
book a vacation package through the Disneyland Resort website or by phone. Online, you'd start by selecting a hotel and room. Then, you'd choose the tickets you want. For a 2-night hotel stay, you should have the option to book a 2-Day or 3-Day ticket as part of a vacation package. If you prefer to spend your arrival night or departure day at the hotel, the 2-Day ticket would work well.
There are a few additions you can make to your ticket. First, you can upgrade to a
Park Hopper Ticket, which gives you the flexibility to move between Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park on the same day. The other add-on is the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you access a shorter line for participating attractions. Both of these options can enhance a park day, but you can still have a great time without them.
If you'd prefer to book by phone or speak with a Cast Member as you decide on a hotel and theme park ticket, give the
Vacation Packages line a call. Also, remember that you're welcome to book accommodations and tickets separately if you prefer.
Once you have those items secured, you can think about any
dining reservations you'd like to make. You can check availability and make reservations on the website or the
Disneyland mobile app. A note about the app – it's really helpful at the park, because you can use it to check attraction wait times, view locations on a map, see the entertainment schedule, and more.
Roy, the magic of the Disneyland Resort is waiting for you. If you think of any other questions, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
