Welcome to planDisney Kevin! How exciting that you are planning a trip back to the "Happiest Place on Earth!"
There are so many
entertainment options to enjoy throughout the entire Disneyland Resort! My favorite options to enjoy are the nighttime entertainment options at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. We love to enjoy the
Paint the Night parade towards the end of the night for the bright lights and energetic soundtrack!
The
entertainment schedule will be a great resource for planning your trip, you can see the various atmosphere entertainment options such as the Disneyland Band or the Main Street Piano Player, as well as the parades and nighttime spectaculars.
If there's one thing I always prioritize during our trips, it's shopping and eating! You may want to explore the
Downtown Disney District for shopping at stores such as World of Disney or The D-Lander Shop. Inside the theme parks, we love to shop at the Emporium in Disneyland Park as well as Julius Katz & Sons in California Adventure. They always have such a wide selection of merchandise and special souvenirs to take home!
For dining, there are several delicious options for you to explore!
Blue Bayou Restaurant is always a solid choice, you truly cannot beat the ambiance of watching the Pirates of the Caribbean boats float by as you dine. Another wonderful option is
Lamplight Lounge, the food is always yummy, and the views of Pixar Pier are stunning in the evening as the sun is setting. You can make
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance which is highly recommended.
I hope these tips and recommendations are helpful for you, Kevin! If we can help with any other ideas for your trip, please don't hesitate to
come back and ask.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
