Hey, Stefanie! You’ve certainly come to the right place for help planning your first visit to the Disneyland Resort!
While Disney no longer mails planning DVDs, there are tons of videos online to help you plan. First, check out the
Video section of the Disney Parks Moms Panel site. You can filter by “Disneyland” to see a few videos that Anabel M. and I filmed about Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. (I’ve also attached the Disneyland Park video to this answer for your convenience). Next, visit
disneyplanning.com and select the Disneyland Resort. After providing a bit of contact information, you will gain access to videos about both parks, the Downtown Disney District, the Disneyland Resort Hotels, and more. Finally, check out the Disney Parks channel on YouTube to discover a plethora of videos about the Disneyland Resort.
After getting a flavor of what to expect on your Disneyland Resort adventure, you can research even further on the Disneyland Resort website. Read about all the available
attractions and entertainment offerings and develop your “must-do” list. Then, if you haven’t already, consider making an advanced dining reservation at one of the
many fabulous dining locations. There are even character meals available where your favorite Disney pals visit your table while you dine. Finally, stop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel again with any and all questions you may have. We love helping Guests plan magical vacations to the Happiest Place on Earth!
