It's almost that time of year again when the Disneyland Resort completely transforms for the Halloween season! There's always a lot of fun to be had during this time of year, but there is one event that leaves a lot of questions on the table: Mickey's Halloween Party. This separately-ticketed event is a guest favourite, but it comes with a hefty price tag. Before you shell out for it, make sure you know what you're paying for and whether you feel it's worth it.

Does your little one love princesses? Of course, Disneyland is the perfect place for them! Contrary to popular belief, the whole resort is not teeming with princesses just looking for children to hug. Instead, you actually need to know what to look for to give your family (or yourself - let's be honest) a fabulous day filled with attractions, shows, and other activities that they love!

The holidays are an extra magical time of year at the Disneyland Resort because there are so many special things to see and do that only come around once. Don't miss out on all the fun! Take this to-do list to the parks with you and have a very merry time! The best part is that there are several things on this list that involve little to no wait so you're not wasting a ton of time standing around.

A while ago we gave you some first steps in preparing your kids for your trip to Disneyland to keep them safe and a little out of your hair. As I've continued to watch other families, and my own, tackle logistics and kids in the parks over the years I've noticed there are a few more things you need to consider before you leave or enter the parks. These simple suggestions should help you avoid unnecessary conflict or heart attacks and ensure a pleasant and magical vacation!

If you're attending Mickey's Halloween Party at the Disneyland Resort this year, then this is information you must be familiar with! Costumes are one of the most popular aspects of the Party since adults otherwise never get to wear them inside the parks, but there are guidelines you must follow. On top of all that, there are other things you need to consider before you plan out your costume so you don't get held up at security or stopped by a CM. In the end it's still super fun as long as you abide by the rules!

It's likely that you've seen a lot of people, myself included, drone on and on about the importance of arriving at the parks early. This is certainly true, but it can seem like no matter what your afternoon surely must be prone to long lines and hours in the hot California sun. Rest assured, that it certainly not the case! There are many things that are best done in the afternoon at Disneyland when many lines are at their longest - but you won't be in them! Here's what we like to do in the middle of the day.

Character dining is probably one of the most quintessential things to do at any Disney park and the Disneyland Resort has quite a few great options - but which one to choose? Unless you've been many times (like we have) you may only get the opportunity to eat at one or two, especially since they can be so pricey. Here's a handy list of each option's pros and cons to help you if you're feeling indecisive or just overwhelmed! UPDATED 17 Jan 2018
