Disneyland Tips & Ride Checklist
Download the Disneyland App (iOS & Google Play). This app is great for finding out wait times for the rides and attractions and has a map for finding your way around.
Get a Disneyland Map as you go in the main entrance. If you aren’t familiar with Disneyland, use it!
Keep your Disneyland Ticket with you at all times!
How to Use Lightning Lane Multi Pass
Consider purchasing the Lightning Lane Multi Pass with your group ($32+ per person). This allows Lightning Lane access to several attractions (listed below).
You can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass through the Disneyland App once you enter Disneyland.
You’ll be able to select the next available arrival windows to enjoy a Lightning Lane attraction via the Disneyland app upon entering a theme park.
Once you’ve redeemed your initial selection (or the arrival window has passed), you’re eligible to make another selection. You can make selections, one at a time, all day up to regular park closing, subject to availability and limited to one Lightning Lane selection per attraction per day.
Individual Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance is not part of the Lightning Lane Multi Pass service and may be purchased individually. It’s currently $20-$25. This can be purchased when you enter the park. You can also wait in line for this attraction, but wait times will be quite long. (Our recommendation: Wait for a shorter wait time…don’t pay!)
Use the Disneyland App to find attractions with shorter wait times. Don’t spend too much time in any one area of the park. Keep an eye on wait times and always be moving towards the attractions with shorter lines. You should cross the park MANY times today.
Phone Charging - There are limited options for charging your phone. Consider buying/bringing a portable charger. An even better idea is to stay off your phone unless looking for Disneyland attraction times. Unplug and enjoy your day in Disneyland! Other tips:
Turn down the screen brightness
Reduce the screen timeout setting
Turn off automatic cloud uploads for photos and videos
Disable your personal hotspot
Plug into a portable battery
