Disneyland

Disneyland really is one of my favourite places on Earth. It just makes my soul happy. It's not worth trying to act holier than thou when you go, just buy into the experience and I promise it will make your soul happy, too. I have so many lovely memories with so many lovely friends on each of my trips, somewhat coincidentally I've gone every 4 years of my life (4, 8, 12, 16 so far). It's actually really interesting to Google fun facts about the park before you go, it really adds to the experience and is fun to hunt for the easter eggs.

General Tips

• Bring a bag that closes and pack a water bottle. You can have the bag on your lap during rides.
  • Bring extra socks for after you go on water rides because it can start to hurt walking around in soaked socks
• Stay in one of the park hotels for an hour early access to the parks before the general public
• Utilize the fast passes, you can still use them after they "expire"
• Download an app that shows the wait times of each ride so you don't have to walk around
• Bear left when lines split into two, it'll be slightly shorter
• If you go at Halloween/Christmas, the rides change themes. I personally prefer Space Mountain at Halloween!
• Stay a 2-3 days
