My Whirlwind Disneyland Adventure: One Day, Non-Stop Fun! ✨
Hey everyone! Fresh off an AMAZING Disneyland trip last week, I'm bursting to share my tips for maximizing your fun, even when you're short on time! Get ready for the Disneyland experience of a lifetime!🏰 Gearing Up: Tickets and Entry
* **Tickets:** I grabbed mine last-minute from the official website for €62 for one park. Pro-tip: Go on a weekday! They're up to €20 cheaper! 💸 * **Entry:** Be ready for two checkpoints: bag check (no ticket needed) and ticket scanning. Lines can be long, so get there EARLY! Park opens at 9:30 AM, aim for 9:00 AM.🏰 Conquer the Rides: Fastpass is Your Friend!
* **Fastpass Frenzy:** If you're squeezing Disneyland into one day, BUY FASTPASSES! They're a lifesaver. * **Premier Access One (Individual Ride Fastpass):** I recommend buying individual fastpasses for the rides you REALLY want to experience. Buying a full pass might mean you don't use everything and waste money (I'm talking €20!) 😩 * **How to snag them:** Head to the Disney App, find "Premier Access," and pick your ride. * **Important!** Fastpasses are sold for specific time slots. Wait until you're ready to ride, then grab your Fastpass on the app. Skip the regular queue and zoom through the Fastpass entrance! I waited less than 20 minutes per ride! * **Bonus!** I even had a super-nice ticket person who let me ride one attraction twice (even though you're only supposed to use the Fastpass once)! 🤩🏰 Must-Do Rides: My Top Picks (Disneyland Park Only!)
(In order of awesomeness!)- **Peter Pan's Flight:** ABSOLUTELY DO THIS ONE! It's magical and beautiful! (Fastpass: €12) ✨
- **Pirates of the Caribbean:** No Fastpass option here, but the 30-45 minute wait flies by (pun intended!) because you're constantly moving. ☠️
- **Phantom Manor:** Disney's haunted house doesn't disappoint! Amazing effects and spooky fun. (Fastpass: €5) 👻
- **Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain:** The BEST roller coaster EVER! Seriously, I almost lost my lunch (in a good way!). So realistic! (Fastpass: €13) 🚀
- **Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast:** Control your car and blast those alien monsters! (Fastpass: €9) 👾
- **Photo Ops:** Get your Instagram on at Mad Hatter's Tea Cups and Alice's Curious Labyrinth! (Both around a 10-minute wait, no Fastpass needed) ☕️
- **Skip:** Pinocchio. Long wait, and the ride is too fast to enjoy. Opt for Aladdin instead... I didn't have time, but I've heard it's amazing!
🏰 Say Cheese: Photo Pass Tips
* Some rides have photo spots! After your ride, check the monitors near the exit. If you like your pic, note the number and head to the photo counter. * **Price:** €15 per photo for the first purchase, and you'll get a code for discounts. If you buy a photo from another ride, you'll get the price of €9!🏰 Fuel Up: Food and Drink
* Honestly, I didn't have time to EAT! 😱 If you do, book your restaurant reservations a MONTH in advance or when you buy your tickets. * I tried to get into the restaurant in Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was fully booked. Ended up at Bella Notte for pasta (decent price, but a long line). * My advice: Bring your own snacks and drinks! You won't have much time to stop. 🥤🏰 Parade and Shows: Don't Miss Out!
* **Parade:** Stake out your spot 30-40 minutes beforehand. The flower bed in front of the castle offers the BEST view of both the castle and the parade! 💐 * **Shows/Fireworks:** Arrive 1-1.5 hours early to snag a great view and a place to sit! ✨🏰 Insider Tips for Your Disneyland Visit
* **Download the App:** It's your Disneyland bible! See maps, parade schedules, ride wait times (if a ride is under 5 minutes, RUN!). Disneyland is pure magic! Even running around all day without much food or drink, I wasn't tired—just exhilarated! Definitely a must-do experience! 😍 Childhood dreams do come true! If I could, I'd move in and ride every single ride! 🥹 **My one mishap:** I accidentally bought a ticket for a show in the OTHER park. 🤦♀️ So, double-check everything before you click "buy"! Have an AMAZING Disneyland adventure! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ```
