We’re gearing up for our next Disneyland trip, but Disney just made a move that has us seriously scratching our heads. In this episode, we talk through the removal of early entry for Disneyland hotel guests and why it feels like a huge loss for families staying on property.

We break down how Lightning Lane actually works at Disneyland versus Disney World, why the current perks don’t feel worth the price, and how this change impacts trip strategy when you’re traveling with kids. Plus, we share our excitement about being at Disney California Adventure on its 25th anniversary, including the merch, food, nostalgia, and why this park has completely won us over.

If you’ve ever wondered whether staying on property at Disneyland is still worth it, this episode is for you.
