Park Savers highly recommends buying a 3-Day Park Hopper ticket so you can see and do it all. It also offers the most flexibility for guests.

We realize for some this might not be an option but most guests have access to a smartphone and the official Disneyland App will make your vacation so much better. It’s available on both Android and Apple. Once installed, link your tickets to it for easy access to the parks from your phone, make dining reservations, schedule MaxPass, see attraction wait times and more!

Yes, you can bring your own food into the parks. There are lockers for rent inside the parks for storage or if you want to bring in a cooler there are large lockers available next to Lost and Found outside the parks.

No. Unlike Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Fastpass can only be booked day-of when the parks have opened and you’ve enter one of them.

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”Can I Share My Ticket(s) With Someone?” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/A-Foreboding-Air-X3.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_orientation=”center”]

No. You cannot rent, split or share your Disneyland Tickets. Every ticket must be used by the same person for everyday of the ticket. Your photo is assigned to your ticket.

There are things to do for any age at Disneyland! The parks have over 40 attractions that have no height requirements so anyone, any age can enjoy them.

I’ve put together an entire list dedicated to what you should pack for your Disneyland vacation. Things like sunscreen, good shoes, hand sanitizer & more.

Yes, but there’s almost no reason to. Standing in a 30 minute line to buy tickets is a waste of time. You should buy them in advance with Undercover Tourist or if you’re there, buy them through the Disneyland App.

  • Buy Discounted Tickets
  • Bring Your Own Food
  • Stay Off Property
  • Walk To The Parks
  • Don’t Buy Any Merchandise
  • Never Pay For Water

  • You’ll need 3-4 days in the parks with Park Hopper and MaxPass.
  • Download the Disneyland App
  • Schedule a Fastpass attraction and while you wait go on smaller ones.
  • Fireworks one night, World of Color one night, Fantasmic! one night.
  • Stay on property for Extra Magic Hour every day.

Yes! You don’t have to scan your physical tickets when entering the parks. As long as you have the Disneyland App you can scan each guest’s ticket from your phone. 

[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.1″][et_pb_blurb title=”What Is Extra Magic Hour & Magic Morning?” image=”https://www.parksavers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Engineer-of-the-Ward-Kimball-at-Sunset-X3.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_orientation=”center”]

Extra Magic Hour is for property hotel guests only and is available each morning (1 hour early into one of the parks). Magic Morning Early Entry is available to guests with tickets 3 days or longer. They receive 1 early entry per ticket, 1 hour before park opening.

There are two baby stations, 1 in each park. Here you change diapers, nurse and find a few baby items like pedialite and diapers. Cast Members are available to help with any needs you may have.
