There\u2019s stress and then there\u2019s\u00a0Disneyland<\/a>\u00a0stress. Here\u2019s five ways to sprinkle a little Fairy Godmother calm over your next visit.<\/p>\n

1. Timing is everything<\/h2>\n

Travelling from Australia, the best time to visit Disneyland in terms of crowds and temperature is during the September school holidays. Closely followed by the January, when everyone else is chasing the snow in Canada and Colorado. Before you choose your dates make sure you scan the local calendars to avoid clashes with public holidays and special events in both Anaheim and surrounding suburbs. Try to avoid weekends and check the Disney website to ensure there aren\u2019t any ride or attraction restrictions in place during your stay. The parks play host to countless corporate events and you don\u2019t want to find Space Mountain is shut because Apple booked it for a conference.<\/p>\n

Good To Know:<\/strong>\u00a0Guests staying at one of the\u00a0Hotels of the Disneyland\u00a0Resort benefit from an Extra Magic Hour in either\u00a0Disneyland\u00a0Park of\u00a0Disney California Adventure\u00a0Park every day of their hotel stay. Guests who purchase a 3 Day Disneyland Resort Ticket or more benefit from one Magic Morning into\u00a0Disneyland\u00a0Park on select days.<\/p>\n

2. Pre-book & app up<\/h2>\n

Seems so simple and yet it\u2019s a deal breaker. Don\u2019t forget to\u00a0book your tickets in advance<\/a>. This can save you hours at the entrance. There are lots of multiple day, multiple people packages available and all online. Do not forget.<\/p>\n

Like Dora, you\u2019re going to need a map. Don\u2019t attempt the parks without one. You can download the Disneyland Map App straight to your phone. It has interactive maps of both California Adventure Land and Disneyland with information on ride wait times, GPS, zoom and a compass. It makes navigation between parks smooth and finding restaurants and bathrooms easy.<\/p>\n

Good To Know:<\/strong>\u00a0Hard-copy maps are free and available at the turnstile entrance to each park \u2013 super-easy to grab on the way through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
