Greetings, Nella, and welcome to planDisney! This is a great question, especially when planning a visit with kids or teens.
The
Disneyland Resort Rules currently state that Guests under 14 years of age must be accompanied by a Guest 14 years of age or older to enter the theme parks. It's also important to note that anyone under 18 years old must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian after 10 p.m. at the Downtown Disney District. A 13-year-old, then, would need to be accompanied by someone who is at least 14 years old.
With those guidelines in mind, let's talk about a few ways to prepare for a magical day at the Disneyland Resort.
As your trip approaches, it's a good idea for each person in your group to take a look at the attractions, entertainment, and dining menus and choose some priorities to add to your plan. That way, everyone has something special to look forward to. You can
browse the options on the Disneyland website and use filters to narrow them down based on what's important to you. There's an age filter to help you find experiences that may appeal to teens.
It's also a good idea to download the
Disneyland mobile app and become familiar with its features, like the interactive map, mobile ordering, and more. You can even link theme park tickets to multiple accounts, making it easier for everyone in your party to access tickets in the app.
When it comes to spending,
Disney Gift Cards are a great way to give kids and teens a sense of independence in choosing and paying for the food and merchandise they like. These gift cards are accepted at many dining and retail locations inside the park.
Nella, please reach out if you have any other questions. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
