California Disneyland One-Day Two-Park Guide 🎊 (Christmas Special Edition)

I visited Disneyland California when ticket prices were at their lowest. With Thanksgiving approaching, prices are set to rise, so it's best to avoid peak times! The main park was extremely crowded, making it difficult to move around (even for someone who's been to Shanghai Disneyland multiple times, it was overwhelming). I didn't buy the Genie service but opted for individual ride fast passes because Genie doesn't cover many popular attractions. Route suggestion: 9 AM - Enter Adventure Park: - Guardians of the Galaxy Drop Tower (Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 25-minute wait) - Radiator Springs Racers (Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 1-hour wait) - Spider-Man (Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️, tiring for the hands 😔, 40-minute wait) - Big Roller Coaster (Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 20-minute wait) - Swirling Chairs (Recommended ⭐️⭐️, 5-minute wait). I also queued for a Pluto interaction for about ten minutes. The Drop Tower and Radiator Springs Racers are highly recommended for their excellent scenes. If you want to try the Drop Tower, go early to avoid long waits. I skipped Soarin' Over the Horizon as it's similar to the one in Shanghai Disneyland, though it's very popular with long wait times. Around 1 PM, I left Adventure Park and entered the main park: - Queued for two interactions near the entrance, which weren't crowded and took less than 20 minutes. After the parade, I started on the rides. - Matterhorn Bobsleds (Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️, small roller coaster, 30-minute wait) - Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! It's a dark, trackless ride, very immersive. Fast pass, 15-minute wait) - Millennium Falcon (Co-op spaceship game, Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 10-minute wait) - Indiana Jones Adventure (Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, 20-minute wait). I had a reservation for Bayou Adventure but gave up due to the slow queue. Parade: I watched the Christmas special parade at 5:30 PM. Many people had already taken spots two hours in advance. My friends and I found a spot about 40 minutes before it started, which was decent, though the front row was full. Fireworks: Also very competitive, with people waiting hours in advance. We went to the castle an hour early, but a tree blocked half the view. Food: It's typical Disney quality, hard to rate. I recommend bringing your own snacks and water. A bottle of water costs $10, and food is around $20, which is normal. #CaliforniaDisneyland #DisneylandGuide #LADisneyland #CaliforniaDisneylandGuide #CaliforniaDisneylandPark #CaliforniaDisneylandAdventurePark
