Get the Most out of Your Visit to Disneyland® California
Situated on 75 acres of former orange groves, Disneyland has evolved since its opening on July 17, 1955. Today, it is divided into eight unique “lands” or sections. First-time visitors should arrive early.
Disneyland Resort Hotel guests can enjoy Early Entry, which grants them access to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure 30 minutes before opening each day of their stay.
The Disneyland Resort now requires all guests to obtain a reservation for park entry in advance as part of their new theme park reservation system. Reservations will be subject to availability and can be made up to 120 days in advance.
Adventureland® is a great place to start for guests deciding which land to visit next. Accessible from Main Street’s Central Plaza and New Orleans Square, this park section is best explored in the morning due to evening crowds gathering for fireworks and Fantasmic performances.
Next up is Frontierland, which recreates the old West and then moves on to Critter Country, a sanctuary of quiet and shade. It’s a great spot to escape the midday heat and wind down before heading back to Disneyland® as a whole.
After a quick stop in Critter Country, it’s off to the north and northeast areas of the park to re-visit Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, where visitors can hit the rides they may have missed earlier in the day. Before the sun sets, guests will want to make their way to Disneyland California Adventure, a 58-acre expansion that includes its own eight lands and has 28 rides and 13 shows.
With its turn-of-the-century boardwalk, Paradise Pier has the most rides of any land at the park, including the California Screamin’ roller coaster and a giant Ferris wheel. There is also a sizeable kiddy-ride section at the other end of the faux pier.
Guests who want to visit both parks in one day should start and end their “adventure” in this area. Disney’s fireworks show, Mickey’s Soundsational Parade, Fantasmic, and California Adventure’s World of Color come alive at night.
Visitors are suggested to spend at least two days at Disneyland® Resort to experience theme parks and Downtown Disney’s shopping and dining.
