Disneyland is the iconic part, but when you visit the Disneyland Resort there are many moments that will stay with you for years which you can only get at Disney California Adventure! From entertainment to dining and, of course, attractions, everywhere you go you'll be able to make memories that will linger so make sure that you don't miss out on anything from our list so you can get the fullest DCA experience possible!

The first trip to Disneyland can be such a magical experience but it can also feel really daunting. There's so much to know about before you go and so many different things to choose from. One of the most common questions I get is "What do you recommend for our first time?" Although everyone's preferences will vary, there are some experiences that really need to be at the top of your list and help you really feel like you've become a Disney pro!

Sometimes it happens that you plan your trip specifically during a time of year when crowds are historically not that bad and no one, not even Disneyland themselves, is expecting a huge influx of guests but you arrive and see hoards of people anyway. Don't panic, though, because this does not mean your whole day is going to be a wash. There are last minute things you can try that will ensure you get as much done as possible even with insane amounts of people everywhere!

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.

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!
