Welcome to the first official post from the Disneyland Adventure series! *Crowd roars in excitement!* I am your host Samantha and this post is dedicated to everything you need to make your disneyland trip successful. Without these necessities, it may get pretty crazy during the trip. Whether it is freezing while watching World of Color in California Adventure park, or having to spend tons of money on snacks when you got the munchies. Here are my suggestions and tips to having a great planned adventure at the Disneyland Resort.
Anaheim California can get pretty intense with its hot temperatures and bright sun. That is why I suggest bringing sunglasses. In this picture, my little sister Lindsey is modeling sunglasses I bought at Forever 21. Not only are they cute and protect your eyes from the sun, but they were also really inexpensive, which is a bonus! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, at the Disneyland resort wears sunglasses. It is a definite must have when visiting the parks.
Apart from Anaheim getting extremely hot, it also becomes incredibly cold during the nighttime. This is when everyone pulls out their comfortable sweaters and keep themselves warm. Eslee bought her Mickey Mouse sweater at the Paradise Pier in California Adventures, cute right? Sweaters are also good incase you ride an attraction such as Splash Mountain or Grizzly Bear River Run, which are both fun water rides that leave you soaking wet. They are also perfect when watching the fireworks on a chilly night.
I personally am not a big fan of water however, after walking around the park for a while, I can't help but get thirsty. That's where water bottles come in hand. You can buy water bottles during your visit in Disneyland but for a higher price. A 20 oz bottle is $2.75 in the park, while anywhere else they are priced at $1.25. Everything is more expensive at the Disneyland Resort, so why not save some money by buying water at a nearby mini mart?
Snacks. What else can I say? Stack a huge pile in your purse! One of the great things about Disneyland is the fact that they allow food to be brought inside the park. This is a huge money saver for I always bring chips, trail mix, drinks and more to satisfy my hunger. There have been many times while my sisters and I wait a 45 minute line with the munchies, and TA-DA, I pull out my can of pringles. Mess free and snack size too. ;)
This blue with stripes purse is my Disneyland go-to bag. I cannot go to the Disneyland Resort without it. It's the perfect size for all the things I would need to get me through the day. I can miraculously fit my wallet, camera, keys, sweater, snacks, and more... all inside this little purse. I feel like Mary Poppins with it, and I love it! I recommend every person to have their own side purse, so you can fit every necessity you may need. Also, having an extra pocket outside or within the purse is great for when you need quick access to your phone or fast passes!
If you are a Disneyland junkie and haven't downloaded this app, you are sure missing out. The Mousewait phone app is an answer to every prayer when it comes to wait times for rides, restaurants, and character meet and greets. I am always using this at Disneyland. It is a time saver because instead of walking all the way to Tomorrowland to see the wait time for Star Tours is 90 minutes long, you can instead pull out your phone and see the wait time at the instant from across the park. It works through people constantly updating the wait times at Disneyland attractions, and so it is always on point. The great thing about this app? It works on iPhones and Androids. So go ahead and download it before your visit to the Disneyland Resort.
Time flies when you are having fun and you may not notice how quickly the hours are passing by. However, your feet will certainly feel it. This is why I recommend that comfortable shoes are a must! Both Disneyland and Disney Adventures Park are huge, which means a lot of walking. You walk to the parking lot tram, through downtown Disney, and finally everywhere inside the park. It's a complete workout to be honest, and not having the proper shoes can lead to a painful experience. Take Converse All Star shoes for example, those are the worst when it comes to a long walk; trust me, I know. So save yourself the aches and bring comfortable shoes with you, because by the end of the day, your feet will be thankful.
Well, that is it for my first Disneyland Adventures post! Hopefully my advice helps in your future visits to the Disneyland Resort. Thanks for reading!
(As for the next post in this series, it may leave you hungry and wanting some Disney snacks) ✌
