Planning a trip to Disneyland California is incredibly exciting, but it can also be extremely stressful if you haven’t planned enough in advance. Whether you’re going for a one-off day trip or you’re visiting for a number of weeks, you need to ensure you have thought of absolutely everything. From setting yourself and overall budget to planning where you’re going to be buying your tickets. With that in mind, here are 8 things to consider before booking a trip to Disneyland California:

– Do You Have An Overall Budget?

One of the first things you need to think about when it comes to planning a trip to Disneyland California is your overall budget. All of the Disney parks can be considered quite expensive and if you have prepared your budget in advance, you may find yourself spending more than you planned. The best thing to do is research all of the activities you want to do during your trip, planning out how much they’re going to cost. It may also help to think about food, as this can be costly.

– How Many Days Will You Be Going For?

Another important thing to consider is how long you’re going to go for. Both of the California parks are reasonably big and if you want to experience as much as you can, you might need a couple of days.

If you’re just stopping by for one day, you may want to consider what aspects of the park are most important to you. From there, you can build a schedule that will ensure you see everything that you wanted. For tips and tricks when it comes to building a Disneyland schedule, you can visit this site here.

– Where Will You Buy Your Park Tickets?

Once you have planned how many days you’re going for, you need to look at where you’re going to buy your tickets. With various different options, you need to decide which option is best for you. Whether you’re looking for a discounted ticket as a Disney Vacation Club member or you’re looking for the best price on a family ticket, it’s important you’re doing as much research as you can.

– How Will You Be Getting There?

Another important thing to consider is how you’re going to be getting there, especially if you don’t live in the California area. Whether you’re flying, driving or getting the train – you need to ensure you’re finding the right mode of transport for you. Ideally, you need to choose the most affordable and convenient option available at the time. If you don’t have a lot of time, you’re going to need to choose the fastest route.

– Where Will You Be Staying?

After you have planned your route, you may also want to think about accommodation. Whether you’re just staying for one night or you need a couple of nights in a hotel, it’s important you’re finding the right place. From Disney owned hotels to private apartments, there are lots of choices for those that are unsure. If you can, booking a place closer to the parks is the best way to maximise your time there.

– Have You Thought About Fast Passes?

Depending on how long you have in the parks, you might want to consider getting fast passes for certain rides. Although you can only have one or two fast passes at a time depending on the park, it’s worth getting them if you know you want to go on a particular ride. You can spend a lot of time waiting for rides so this is a great way to prevent long lines for popular choices.

– Are You Planning Any Outfits?

You can’t go to Disney without coordinating your outfits so if you’re planning on doing so, you might want to think about what you’re going to wear soon. If it helps, look at inspiration online.

– Is There Anywhere You Want To Eat?

Finally, you need to think about where you want to eat. There are lots of different options to choose from and if you’re only visiting for a couple of days you won’t have the chance to try everything. Having a list in mind will ensure you don’t miss anything.
