Disneyland Ticket Security

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:50:01 +0000

You must have your Disneyland ticket in order to
enter the park. You must also have the ticket to get
FastPass tickets. Because this ticket is so
important, it needs to be kept in a safe place. Along
with the Disneyland ticket, you also need a safe
place to keep money or the Disneyland Merchandise
Card.

A wallet or purse is not very practical at Disneyland.
Instead, you should purchase a FastPass holder ?
even if you don?t get any FastPasses. This is a small
plastic pouch that hangs from a cord, which is worn
around the neck. These can be purchased at
Disneyland, and they are very inexpensive.

If you think you might not want to spend a little bit of
money on the FastPass holder, you should consider
what a new Disneyland ticket will cost. If you lose
your Disneyland ticket, you will not be allowed to
enter the park the next day without purchasing a new
ticket. When you look at the small cost of the
Disneyland FastPass holder, you will see that it is
well worth it.

Disneyland and Disabilities

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:50:02 +0000

Even if you are confined to a wheelchair or on
crutches, you can still enjoy Disneyland. If you are
on crutches, you should consider renting a
Disneyland Scooter to get around the park. The
rental fee is $35 per day, with a $20 deposit. A valid
driver?s license is required, and you must be
eighteen years old or older.

You can also choose to rent a wheelchair, which is
not electronic. The rental fee for a wheelchair is $8
per day, with a $20 deposit. You do not have to rent
your wheelchair or Scooter from Disneyland. You can
choose to rent the apparatus from a private company,
and have the wheelchair or scooter delivered to your
hotel room. You may find that it is cheaper to rent
from a private company, as opposed to renting from
Disneyland.

All of the restaurants and shops are wheelchair
accessible, as are the entertainment areas. When it
comes to wheelchairs, your problem will be
accessing some of the rides. Some rides are not
appropriate for people who are in wheelchairs,
while others are perfectly suitable. For instance, you
will not be able to enjoy Donald?s Boat, Sailing Ship,
or Tarzan?s Tree house.

However, there are many attractions that you can
enjoy, such as The Disney Gallery, Disneyland
Monorail, the Disneyland Railroad, the Tiki Room,
The Golden Horseshoe, It?s A Small World, Mark
Twain Riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island. Some
attractions will require you to be transferred from your
wheelchair, such as Alice in Wonderland, Indiana
Jones, and the King Arthur Carrousel.

Cast members and service personnel will be happy
to help with Guest wheelchair transfers, and if you
should lose a wheelchair or scooter that you?ve rented
from Disneyland, simply show the ticket for the
wheelchair or scooter, and Disneyland will happily
supply you with another one. However, if you lose a
wheelchair or scooter that was rented from an outside
company, Disneyland will not be able to help you
replace it, and you may have to pay the rental company
the full value of the chair. This is something to consider
when you are trying to decide whether to rent from
Disneyland or a private company.

Whether you can enjoy a ride in your wheelchair, or
you must be transferred from your wheelchair to the
ride, you can actually enjoy most of the rides at
Disneyland. Do not allow the fact that you can?t walk
around the park keep you from planning a Disneyland
Vacation. Again, Disneyland was designed with
everyone in mind!

Disney Dollars and Disneyland Merchandise Cards

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:50:02 +0000

When it comes to kids and money, we all know what
happens. The money either gets spent the wrong way,
or it gets lost. With Disney Dollars and Disneyland
Merchandise cards, you may be able to cut down on
some of this.

Disney Dollars work just like cash at Disneyland.
They can be used anywhere in the park, and at
certain hotels. They can even be used at local
Disney stores in your area. The Disneyland
Merchandise Card works more like a credit card. The
amount of money you load on the card is how much
is available. All of this fits quite nicely into the
FreePass holder, so there will be less chance of
losing the dollars or the card.

You can also purchase a Disneyland Resort Gift
Card. This card can only be used at the Disney
Resorts, as well as stores that accept credit cards
at Disneyland. These cards also make great gift
items for anyone who loves Disneyland, or for
anyone who is planning a trip to Disneyland. This is
a great way to budget money for souvenirs as well
as snack items while at Disneyland.

Entertainment at Disneyland

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 04:50:02 +0000

There is always something to see or do at
Disneyland, but Disneyland adds to this with nightly
entertainment during the peak season, and weekend
entertainment during the off-season. There is also
special entertainment during special occasions, such
as the Fourth of July and Christmas.

Fantasmic is held twice each night during the peak
season, and on weekends during the off-season.
The show takes place on Tom Sawyer?s Island, and
features many characters, music, and fireworks. For
the best seating possible, purchase tickets for
Fantasmic in advance, but note that free seating is
also available, and is included in your Disneyland
park admission price.

The Parade of Dreams features large colorful floats
accompanied by many Characters. This parade
takes place twice each day. During the parade, the
entire parade will stop three times to do a
choreographed show, and most of the Disney
Characters are portrayed in the Parade of Dreams.

In the Fantasyland Theater, you can see a musical
of Snow White. This show is held several times
throughout the day. This show should not be missed
? especially if you love Snow White. Since the show
is held several times each day, reservations are not
necessary.

These are just a few of the shows that are available
at Disneyland. Again, entertainment is an ongoing
thing at the park, with each day bringing something
new. One thing that you can definitely count on, of
course, is the fireworks! The fireworks show is held
late each night ? before the park closes for the day.

Even if you can?t stay for the fireworks, you can
probably see them out of your hotel window! Try to
get a view of the Fireworks from in front of Sleeping
Beauty?s Castle for the greatest effect. The fireworks
on the Fourth of July are out of this world.

To find out if there are any special shows or events
during the time that you will be at Disneyland, visit
the website, call the park, or ask your travel agent to
find this information out for you. You may also want
to inquire about special events during specific
months, so that you can plan your stay at
Disneyland for those days.

Most entertainment is provided free of charge, and is
part of your admission price. However, special
seating, or priority seating usually requires a fee, as
well as a reservation. Some events require an
admission price that is separate from your park
admission. Again, check the website, call the park,
or discuss events and fees with your travel agent
when planning your Disneyland vacation.

When Is The Best Time To Be At Disneyland?

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:50:01 +0000

When you are planning your Disneyland vacation,
you should note that some days are better than,
others at the park. The days that you choose to be
there will depend greatly on whether you are more
interested in attractions or entertainment ? or both.

For instance, Tuesday?s, Wednesday?s, and
Thursday?s are the days when you will have shorter l
ines for the attractions, because there will be fewer
people there. On the other hand, the entertainment
on those nights cannot compare to the entertainment
that is offered on the weekends. If entertainment is
important, plan your visit to Disneyland for the
weekend.

If you will be at Disneyland for several days, however,
plan to ride the attractions on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, and then enjoy the entertainment, as
well as the other things the park has to offer on the
other days. If you are visiting during the off-season,
you should note that entertainment usually isn?t
offered on weekdays. Also remember that the park
really fills up as the day wears on, so try to ride the
attractions in the morning if possible!

Tips for Planning a Disneyland Vacation

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 04:50:02 +0000

For many people, planning a Disneyland Vacation
is part of the fun of the vacation itself! For others,
however, it can be a headache. Before you start
planning your vacation, determine whether or not you
are really up to planning the trip yourself or not.

If you don?t want to plan your own trip, you have
several options. Of course, you can have a travel
agent make all of the arrangements for you, but for
the best Disneyland experience, you might be better
off using the Disney Vacation Planning Services.
Either way, you can have every single aspect of your
trip planned for you. Once you get there, all you will
need to do is follow your Itinerary.

If you prefer the fun involved in planning your
Disneyland vacation yourself, there are some things
that you absolutely must not leave out of the planning
stage. Before you can decide what you will be doing at
Disneyland, you must determine which dates you will
be there. The parks offer different things at different
types of the year, with many different themes and
entertainment to choose from.

Once you know when you will be at Disneyland, the
next step is to figure out what you will be doing each
day that you are there. Once you?ve set up your travel
arrangements and your hotel reservations, there are a
few more things you must consider.

Food is one thing you might want to arrange in
advance. Disneyland is a very popular place, and
having reservations at some of the more popular
restaurants is recommended. These reservations can
be made well in advance ? before you ever leave home.

When planning which attractions at Disneyland you
want to visit, use a map of Disneyland as a guide.
This will make it easier to schedule time for
attractions that are near each other. You want to see
and do as much as possible, so as much walking or
travel time as you can.

Keep your budget in mind. Often, by making
arrangements through travel agents or through the
Disneyland Vacation Planning Services, you will be
able to get better deals ? which can save you money.
Look for these deals, and save as much money as
you can on your hotel and food. If you have small
children with you, keep their priorities in mind ? they
have less interest in where they will sleep and the
food that they will eat, and more interest in what they
will see and do!

How to Avoid Long Lines at Disneyland

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:43:02 +0000

One source of frustration for many visitors at
Disneyland is the long lines for the rides. You can
literally spend several hours of the day standing in
line to ride popular attractions. These lines can be
avoided in one of three ways.

Get to the park early. The lines are shorter in the
morning when the park first opens. Instead of
jumping in line for the first ride you see, head for the
rides that you really want to ride the most ? the
most popular rides. Another option is to purchase
FastPass tickets for the rides that offer them. Again,
do this early to ensure that you get to ride those rides
earlier in the day.

The third option to avoid long lines at Disneyland is
to ride many of the popular rides later in the evening,
while the majority of people are enjoying the
entertainment. Disneyland has nightly entertainment,
and this is a good time to find shorter lines. Of
course, it will mean that you probably miss the
entertainment, so if you can use one of the other
options for shorter lines at Disneyland, you should
probably do so.

Take a Disneyland Tour

Vacation Spots — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:21:56 +0000

No Disneyland Vacation can be complete without a
Disneyland tour ? especially if it is your first trip to
Disneyland. There are currently four different tours
to choose from, and Disneyland park admission is
required for all tours. It is strongly advised that you
make a reservation for the tours that you wish to go
on.

Disneyland?s Discover the Magic Tour may be the
most popular of the four. This tour will have you and
your family working with Disneyland characters to
find clues and hunt for treasure. You can literally live
out a Disneyland fantasy with your family and loveable
characters, outsmarting the Disney bad guys! This
tour includes lunch and an exclusive gift that can only
be obtained on this tour.

The Discover the Magic Tour lasts for about three
hours. There is a two ticket minimum, and the cost
is $49 each of the first two tickets, with additional
tickets costing $39. The tour is appropriate for the
5 ? 9 year old age group, and adults. The tour is
not really suitable for children under the age of five,
or for children who need strollers.

The VIP Tour lasts for about four hours, and costs
$75 per hour for a party of up to ten people. You
must book this tour well in advance, or there will be
an additional twenty dollar fee. The tour is not
recommended for children, but is designed more for
people who have a true love and interest in Disney
and Disneyland history.

The Welcome to Disneyland Tour is absolutely
perfect for first timers. There are many benefits to
this tour, including priority seating at one of the stage
shows, tips and suggestions for getting the most out
of your Disneyland vacation, a brief history of the
park, priority seating at one of the many restaurants,
instruction in using FastPass, two bonus FastPass
tickets, and much more. This tour lasts about two
and a half hours, and costs $25 per person.

A Walk in Walt?s Footsteps focuses on the vision of
Walt Whitman, and is not really suitable for small
children. Filled with history and trivia about the park,
this tour lasts for more than three hours, and costs
$49 per person. The main feature of this tour is your
peek at the exclusive Club 33.

Again, you should definitely consider making one of
these tours part of your Disneyland experience ?
especially if this will be your first trip to Disneyland.
You may see things and learn things that you would
not see or learn without the benefit of the tour!

Pamper Yourself at Disneyland

Vacation Spots — Sun, 25 May 2008 18:21:55 +0000

You may think that Disneyland is only about fun,
excitement, and activity ? but you would be wrong.
Disneyland is also about relaxation and pampering.
The pampering you receive at Disneyland may not
be the same that you would receive at a world class
spa, but it is relaxing and makes you feel special
just the same.

The easiest way to get pampered on your Disneyland
vacation is to book your room at one of the
Disneyland resorts, and upgrading your room to one
that includes Concierge services. The difference in
the price may startle you a bit, with rooms costing
up to $300 per night, but the service you receive will
be out of this world.

First, your room will be much nicer if you have the
Concierge service. You will have free bottles of water,
soft drinks, coffee, and tea at all times. You will be
able to check in and out faster at the Concierge
check in counter, and a nightly turndown service is
included.

Access to the Concierge lounge is where the
pampering really starts! You will enjoy a continental
breakfast in the lounge each morning. You can also
opt to take your breakfast back to your room. In the
afternoon, while the kids watch Disney Videos, you
will enjoy a wine tasting in the lounge as well.

There are many more perks available with the
Concierge service, differing at each resort. To
determine whether the Concierge service will benefit
you and your family, call the resort that you are
considering, and simply ask what perks are included
with this service. Ask to be connected with the
concierge desk to ensure that you are getting
accurate information.

Again, the cost of this upgrade is a bit high, but
when you close your eyes and dream of all of the
pampering and special treatment that you and your
family will enjoy, and you tally up the cost of the free
breakfast and drinks, you may find that the cost is
well worth it. In fact, depending on the size of your
family, you may even discover that the value of the
free breakfast and the free drinks even makes the
entire Disneyland trip a little less expensive for you!

Once you?ve experienced the Concierge Service on
a trip to Disneyland, you may not be satisfied with
anything less on future Disneyland trips. The
service is out of this world, and can only serve to
make your trip more relaxing and enjoyable.
