Hi! I am currently in the planning process of our trip to Disneyland. Yes we are braving the holiday crowds. Stay tuned for pictures and reviews of my experience. Disney has a really cool discount for service members in our military. We will be experiencing the 3 day hopper option during this trip. The Down side is you do not get to have the magic morning experience with these tickets however, for almost half the cost of a normal ticket I won’t be complaining. I will add to my blog with my thoughts and reviews as we go. I am repeating the trip we took last year at thanksgiving. Below I will list some tips for planning a quick Disneyland getaway. (some are military but most are just things I have tried and researched).
- Military Salute Pass: 3 day hopper 2018 168.00 or 4 day hopper 188.00! AMAZING DEAL!!! ( they are renewing for 2019 at an increased cost).
- NON- Military ticket discounts: Watch sites like get away today on black Friday they often offer bigger discounts around that time of year.
- Park estimates to have moderate to heavy crowds the weekend following thanksgiving. Tip: get a max pass 10.00 extra per day SO WORTH IT!
- Hit the popular rides early!!!! It’s usually less crowded in the early morning.
- Get the Disneyland App. you can link your passes and access wait times, maps, food options etc. ( I would also bring a battery pack or your phone may die on you part way through the day).
- Try to book hotel a few months in advance but also shop around. Check to make sure that if the hotel is not within walking distance that they offer a shuttle service. I am staying at one that is 3 miles away with a complimentary shuttle.
- If you are on a budget also look at hotels that offer a breakfast plan or continental breakfast. Food in the park can get expensive quick! YOU CAN BRING FOOD AND DRINK WITH YOU!!!
