Time spent in Disneyland last week was a treat for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed both parks (Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park) riding rides, meeting beloved characters, watching shows, and eating well. I created our agenda through the app upon arrival each day, because Genie Plus and Lighting Lanes only work after you’ve entered the park. It’s unlike Disney World where you can plan a year in advance. Find our 3-day itinerary and Disney-inspired accessories for your travel adventures below.

Ps: Thanks to my friend Meghan, a Disney travel planner, the dining and lodging reservations were booked with minimal effort. Meghan was a logistics game-changer, texting me in real time familiarizing us with new park rules. If you’d like to book her for your next Disney trip, she is available for all Disney travel experiences (including cruises if you don’t want to travel to the parks).
