Hey there, hi there, Joaxy! Welcome to planDisney. We are so glad you stopped by with your question.
Oh my goodness! I am thrilled to hear you are about to take your first visit to Disneyland Resort! Disneyland is full of special memories for me and I can't wait for you to experience the magic. It looks like you will be arriving soon, so getting your tickets squared away is the most important. You can purchase your tickets through the
Disneyland website and I suggest doing that as soon as you can. This is because currently you also need
theme park ticket reservations along with your tickets. If you make your ticket purchase through the Disneyland website, you will pick the dates and parks you want to visit and this will make your theme park ticket reservations for you once you've purchased.
If this is your first visit, I would recommend purchasing a Park Hopper ticket so that you can go back and forth between the two parks during your visit. If you have a Park Hopper ticket, during the ticket purchase process you will choose what park you want to start on that day. After 11:00 a.m. each day, you can park hop back and forth between the parks.
My other recommendation would be to download the
Disneyland app and get familiar with it. This is a very handy tool with so many features to help you navigate your day. It includes a map where you can view all the current wait times for attractions, and then change the viewer to locate dining options, entertainment, and more. Through the app, you can also
mobile order food from participating locations versus standing in line. This is my favorite feature of the app!
Joaxy, I could go on and on trying to help you prepare for your first visit, so feel free to visit us again if you have any other questions. See you real soon!
