I've noticed a lot of complaints from guests at Disneyland over a MaxPass that "doesn't work." I've used the MaxPass many times and have had a few issues myself, but everything has been very fixable. If you find yourself in this situation just follow some of these suggestions and they will very nearly always solve your problem. After all, you don't want to spend $50 a day and have nothing to show for it, right?

The term "Good Neighbor Hotels" gets thrown around a lot at Disneyland but you may or may not be familiar with what it actually means. Hotels designated as "Good Neighbor Hotels" are generally in close proximity to the Disneyland Resort and offer certain perks to guests while providing less expensive option than Disneyland Resort Hotels. For many people these prove to be the best option, just make sure you understand what is and is not included in your reservation before you make a decision.

If you're not using the MaxPass then you'll need to figure out where all the FastPass distribution kiosks are located. For many it's easy because they're right by the attraction entrances, but others are not so clear and may not be near the queue at all. To save you time and frustration trying to locate them yourself here are some handy guides so you'll know where to go to get your next FastPass in Disneyland Park!

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.
